What is Financial Markets?
There are six exciting business areas in Financial Markets (FM):

•     Sales - Working directly with clients, our FM Sales teams provide risk management and financing solutions. They work closely with all other FM teams to build solutions for each client's needs.
•     Structuring - Our Structurers work closely with the FM Sales and Trading teams creating customised, multi-asset solutions to meet our client's bespoke requirements.
•     Capital Markets - Capital Markets provides debt financing solutions through syndicated loans and bonds. Our teams originate, structure and distribute large deals to fund a variety of our clients' financing needs.
•     Trading - Our Traders execute risk management solutions for our clients and the Bank. They provide access to global financial markets, buying and selling financial instruments to manage clients' risk.
•     Asset Liability Management (ALM) - The ALM team manages the Bank's balance sheet and liquidity to ensure our capital is fully optimised and aligned to requirements.
•     Research - Our research team provides a forward-looking analysis of emerging markets. They cover all asset classes and regions and their insights inform clients and internal teams of current trends and market opportunities.
