Derviative Restructuring
The Weston Group provides derivatives restructuring.
Weston’s derivatives team of PhDs and Risk Management Executives reconstructs trading records, analyzes fund flow documentation and back-tests all margin calls, settlements, knock-outs, and re-sets. These investigations often uncover errors, or at worst, fraudulent intent on the part of the originating counterparties. These findings can then serve as the basis for an intensive public relations and litigation against the offending parties in order to force settlements.
