So Rita who is the Case Manager seems to suggest that she sees Southern Financial Red and therefore we cannot extend it to Credit Derivatives, while we think we should see this Green from a KCP perspective. Bu you explain to me that the Red might be only when it comes to your ICG world. Can you pls clarify if this client is Red for everyone including KCP and if so how do we turn it Green, as discussed this is an example of a KCP Americas account that is ACOed by us, in this case myself.
