What is Standard Chartered's broad strategy in fixed income research?
Within fixed income research we have two major disciplines. One of them is fixed income credit analysis and the other is fixed income strategy. They work very closely together. The idea is that once we arrive at an opinion on a certain credit we can incorporate relative value and actually end up with a strategy that can be executed by a customer - rather than just saying we like this company. Within that the idea is to create strategies for customers and work very closely with our debt capital markets team.
