BNP Paribas On The Cusp Of Podium As Three-Pillar Platform Takes Hold

As institutional investors have increasingly diversified their portfolios through quantitative investment solutions over the last 12 to 18 months, BNP Paribas has itself diversified its equity derivatives platform and client base. Historically recognized as a leading provider in areas such as alternative risk transactions (ART), dividend derivatives and dispersion among other flow products, BNP Paribas has increasingly tilted its platform toward QIS and delta one, has embraced digitalization, has ramped up its client coverage with senior hires across financial engineering, trading and sales and brought on board an increasing number of institutional investors globally. BNP Paribas’ Emmanuel Dray spoke to EQDerivatives’ Rob McGlinchey on how its three-pillar approach to equity derivatives is reaping rewards for the firm and its clients globally.
