Buy-side EQD

November 3rd, 2016, 6:06 pm

In UK, and continental Europe (ex NL), which buy-side parties have a big or interesting EQD desk? I only know the desks in NL (and that's not even a handful). 

(I suppose EQD portfolio managers don't often or can't make the step to sell-side trading or structuring.)

Cheers.

Difficult. Maybe Cardano with an office in both Rotterdam and London? The do overlays for pension fund (they don't take in their own positions), I would expect probably mostly IRD, but on the other hand they've published technical papers about Asian and basket options (EQD?). Very good quant team. They are a daughter company from IMC (large trading firm).
