Global Financial Markets


As a customer-focused, rather than profit-driven institution, Rabobank continues to expand its Global Financial Markets capabilities. Global Financial Markets is a niche business that specializes in "structuring/repackaging" of Fixed Income and Derivative products to a defined client base, consisting of Rabobank's Member Banks, other Rabobank Group entities, our Corporate & Domestic clients and Investor clients.

We have established an impressive team and amassed a solid corporate client base. We offer an increasingly broad range of banking products, primarily focused on the proper management of both credit and interest rate risk.

The following outlines describe our present trading and sales desks and appropriate contact numbers:

Structuring

The structuring group covers the whole range of credit intermediation products involved in providing financing, risk and balance sheet management and investment products to customers. The Structuring business aims to provide well researched, flexible and innovative financing, credit risk management, balance sheet management and investment products to core clients, which maximize and enhance existing relationships and leverage the bank's rating.
