Engagement-led work for professional and eligible counterparty clients only. No retail distribution. Not a manager. Not a broker.

What we do

Six specialisms most often assembled together on a single engagement. The detailed view sits on /capabilities.

  • Retail Savings Bond programmes

    Sovereign issuance design — product family, pricing, distribution, operations, and launch readiness. Direct reference base on the RSA programme.

  • Curve construction & rate transitions

    SAGB and ILBI curve work, JIBAR → ZARONIA book re-expression with the right spread adjustment and a defensible convexity read.

  • Treasury & structured funding

    Funding architecture, NCD / FRN / CLN / MTN structures recosted against the live curve and the investor alternative set.

  • Portfolio transformation

    Independent portfolio reviews with explicit exposure, risk, and relative-value framing — the underlying risks named, not bundled.

  • Pricing & risk tooling

    Bloomberg- and Excel-based models with transparent inputs, traceable calculations, and review trails. No black boxes.

  • Tender-ready specifications

    Functional, non-functional, SLAs, and acceptance criteria written in the form a vendor can bid on and a board can approve.

How we work

We work inside client teams as project managers, product architects, and technical advisers. Every engagement leaves working models, written specifications, and implementable structures — not presentations.

No house view. No standing trade ideas. The discipline is unchanged by the regime: every price is interrogated from first principles, every view leaves a paper trail, and work is turned down when it sits outside our competence.
