European Dispersion Trades Perform Well Year-To-Date

Dispersion trades in Europe have been increasingly popular year-to-date, according to Société Générale officials. Delphine Leblond Limpalaër, head of U.K. flow sales at the bank, said dispersion in the European market is interesting this year because of many idiosyncratic moves in names like Daimler, Nokia, Volkswagen, EDF for example. This is something she, and Alastair Beattie, managing director, equities and derivatives, said has been increasingly popular among clients this year.
