Our clients


What we do


Our advice ranges from strategic counsel to practical implementation. We often work with local consultants and/or other experts in order to best meet the needs of the client. They appreciate receiving advice that they can effectively implement and that makes a difference for their market.

We advise countries on developing their capital markets and strengthening their financial centres.

We provide an overall perspective, linking national economic objectives to the design of market infrastructure and the legal and regulatory environment.

We assist on the design and operation of financial market infrastructure, from defining strategy and structure, to preparing technical specifications through to supporting the procurement and implementation process.

We also deliver customised training for market regulators, institutions and participants.

We prepare research papers on current topics of market structure, either for confidential use or for publication.

We advise regulators and boards on the strategic direction they should take to develop their markets.
