In the fourth quarter of 2019, against the backdrop of an opaque and potentially deteriorating secondary market for fixed income securities, our platform introduced a bespoke and market relevant liquidity solution for holders of corporate bonds from Asia, SE Asia and European based issuers. The impact from recent events in the region has caused a negative ripple effect across all sectors, with the capital markets sector seeing a noticeable downturn. In the past weeks we have seen bond holders requiring a solution to hedge against downside risk and a dramatic increase in requests to release liquidity held in fixed income securities. Our structured finance and buy/sell solutions have provided liquidity for qualified individuals and corporates across global markets.

In collaboration with our service providers and licensed investment managers in Hong Kong, we have curated solutions that allows bond holders to access the equity held in their assets and create liquidity in a timely manner. This not only enables bond holders to mitigate risk realised by the downgrading of assets and issuers but also enhances the ability to deploy liquidity in a potentially lucrative market environment.
