Global markets
Rates, currency, credit and commodities, priced where they trade
Overview
We make prices in interest rate, currency, credit and commodity risk for US and international clients, with sales, structuring and research in the same team.
Clients come to us for straight answers on hedging: what the exposure is, what it costs to remove and what you give up by doing so, before any trade is proposed.
Why HBI
Covered by people who know your sector
Our corporate and investment bank is organized by sector and staffed regionally. The people pricing your risk follow your industry every day, with research, sales and structuring on one desk.
We lend, advise and make markets, and we test each against the others before proposing a structure. Where those roles could conflict we say so, and you choose which one we take.

Good to know
How we look after you
Three commitments that apply to every corporate & investment product, this one included.
Documentation runs in parallel
ISDA, facility and custody documentation is negotiated alongside credit approval rather than after it, which typically saves several weeks.
Conflicts are disclosed, not managed quietly
Every mandate passes group-wide conflict clearance before engagement. Where we hold more than one role, each is set out in the mandate letter.
One coverage banker
A single senior banker is accountable for the relationship across lending, markets, advisory and transaction banking.
Questions
Questions clients actually ask
If yours is not here, a banker will answer it directly.
For most derivative transactions, yes — an ISDA Master Agreement with a Credit Support Annex. Our documentation team runs the negotiation alongside the credit process.
Yes, through our correspondent network, though pricing in thinly traded currencies will be wider.
Daily market commentary, the monthly US Macro Monitor, and thematic pieces on rates, currencies and commodities. Clients also get direct access to the analysts.
Our desks run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, with extended coverage for Asian and European hours by arrangement.
