Primary trader for the ADR financing book. My responsibility was to mitigate franchise risk and provide depth and breadth of liquidity for clients. During my time on the ADR book, I was able to redesign the book management process in order to maximize conversion and realignment opportunities and reduce dividend liability. I also initiated trading in the Crossbook for short coverage and PnL opportunities while managing FX and cross-currency exposures. In the early 2010s, Chinese ADRs became a popular product to gain exposure to the growing Chinese tech sector. I was able to provide outsized liquidity in the product by utilizing the strength of relationships and the franchise. We also conducted several Asia-based client roadshows with IED and PB to highlight MS’s depth of supply, execution skill, and market color capabilities. I also developed Chinese-ADR specific content for weekly distribution to our client base. While managing the ETF book, I was responsible for optimizing supply through borrow, Create to Lend, Swap, and EFP sourcing. We also employed a Redeem-to-Fund strategy in order to maximize B/S efficiencies and PnL. Further responsibilities included trading and managing products including buy-in risk positions, term, option conversions, and pay-to-holds.
