We are looking for consultant SMEs who have expertise in Front Office for Prime Services.
Prime Services typically includes items such as:
- Securities lending / stock loan – lending securities (mostly equities, some fixed income) to clients to support short-selling, arbitrage strategies, and settlement needs. This is often the most profitable desk within Prime Services.
- Financing (margin/repo) – providing leverage against client portfolios via margin loans, synthetic financing, and repo, so hedge funds can gear up their positions.
- Synthetic Prime Brokerage – offering exposure via swaps, CFDs, and total return swaps rather than physical securities, which is capital-efficient for both the client and the bank.
- Listed & OTC derivatives clearing – acting as a clearing broker for futures and options and providing access to cleared and non-cleared derivatives markets.
- Cash management/custody – acting as custodian for client assets and cash, safekeeping collateral, and handling settlement.
- Capital introduction – connecting hedge fund clients with potential investors (a value-add service, not a revenue line per se, but important for relationship stickiness).
- Outsourced trading / execution services – for smaller funds that don't want to build their own trading infrastructure.
