Structured Finance

The Structured Finance group within Credit Suisse Prime Services combines derivative, financing and cash instruments to create products that enhance traditional solutions. These tailored products are fully integrated with Credit Suisse's execution and prime brokerage position management infrastructure, allowing for a seamless trading, financing and reporting process. Solutions for specific objectives can stand alone or be used interactively in the group's core portfolio swap product (often referred to as synthetic prime brokerage).

There are both potential economic benefits and operational benefits provided by our Structured Finance department. Potential economic benefits include transactional savings, yield enhancement opportunities, synthetic long and short exposure, preferential margining, tax efficiency, and asset and liability management solutions. Operational benefits include ease of settlement and reconciliation, periodic cash flow settlement, consolidated Web-based reporting, management of positions on an individual or portfolio basis, and multiple execution avenues.
