Derivatives Markets The merging of RBS Greenwich Capital’s and our parent company’s derivatives businesses into a single unit provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. Our customers benefit greatly from a full view of the market that our global dollar derivatives business provides. James Mather, Head of Rates A Giant Leap RBS Greenwich Capital’s derivatives business took a giant leap forward in 2004 with the merger of the derivatives groups operating in the RBS New York branch and at RBS Greenwich Capital into a single unit. The resulting Interest-Rate Derivatives Group is backed by our parent’s balance sheet and credit rating. By combining the U.S. dollar-based derivatives expertise in Greenwich with RBS’s leading position in the U.K., European and Asian derivatives markets, both the Royal Bank of Scotland and RBS Greenwich Capital now enjoy a global market presence. The group also operates as the North American arm of The Royal Bank of Scotland’s Global Rates business. More important, the advent of the Interest-Rate Derivatives Group gives our institutional, corporate and commercial banking clients a broader array of strategies for hedging or enhancing their investment positions through swaps, options and other derivatives. Consolidating all of RBS’s U.S. derivatives units under one roof in Greenwich brings our specialists closer to their sales and trading counterparts in the U.S. governments, asset-backed and mortgage-backed areas, and gives us faster access to the information and ideas our clients require.
