New structured products consultancy launches

Alternative asset consultancy and trading firm Kensington Blake Capital says it has recently launched a new consultancy branch.

The firm's team of structured products and derivatives professionals offers advice and analysis to companies with exposure to the structured products and derivatives markets.

KBC has a core team of eight professionals including Michael Bilello, Ricardo Diaz, and Sherif Elias. Many of the team previously held senior management positions at global banks in structured products, credit derivatives, interest rates and foreign exchange.

The company was established in March 2008 as a financial consulting firm targeting opportunities in structured finance and derivative markets. In addition to consultancy, KBC is also an active trading firm in the alternative asset market and focuses mainly on three areas: investment structuring/restructuring, valuation/risk management and market strategy/product education.
