Customized Strategies to Optimize Performance and Minimize Risk.

BTIG's Equity Derivatives team provides our clients with access to world-class expertise in equity derivatives strategies that enhance portfolio performance and minimize risk. Working collaboratively with investment managers, we apply our expertise throughout the entire lifecycle of the trade. This includes offering pre-trade analysis, structuring and execution of the trade, post-trade management and reporting. We offer all this as part of our ongoing commitment to helping our clients achieve their objectives.

Pre-Trade Analysis & Structure

Our team works closely with portfolio managers and traders to develop strategies for hedging needs, directional exposure and volatility trading. We strategize and execute trades with respect to our client's objective and opinion regarding the underlying security-price targets, time horizons, volatility, and/or hedging parameters. We continuously search for opportunities in names and sectors applicable to our client's needs so we can deliver relevant and insightful trading strategies and color.

Trade Execution

Through our agency desk, with a great pool of liquidity ranging from our electronic platforms, floor exchanges, and the community of upstairs market makers and volatility funds; BTIG's Equity Derivatives team offers superior execution that's efficient, cost effective and discreet. And because BTIG is an agency-focused execution firm, our interests are always aligned with those of our clients.

Post Trade Management

Our Equity Derivatives team provides comprehensive post trade management as a value added service aimed at helping our clients succeed. Once a trade is executed, we have the capability to store its structure in our internal position/risk management system. We continue to provide recommendations to the client on how to best optimize their option structures to create a risk-adjusted return profile that matches their specific trading objectives.
