Thanks. Termsheet is pretty straightforward. Can discuss this afternoon.
My lunch is at 12:30 down in Soho, so will be back just after 2. See you
then

Jeffrey,
Our London desk was able to improve the ATMF strike to 11.15% and their
offer still at 2.4% (1.9% mid) on this trade. Given the trade has little
delta at inception, our desk is able to set the initial strikes for the
structure at market on close today for all markets (SPX, EEM, SXSE, HSCEI,
NKY), even though Asia has already closed. Attached is a draft term sheet
for the trade.
Regards,

Jeffrey,
Per our conversation, we received your order to bid on this structure at the
indicated terms for $100k premium (—$4.166mm notional). As discussed, we
communicated your overnight order to our London desk and we will revert
tomorrow on whether the transaction has been executed.
Thank you,
Daniel

Jeffrey,
As we look at the world, the enormous dispersion of monetary and fiscal
EFTA01421813
policies is obvious. One transaction we have used in the past to articulate
this theme, and it trickling down to equity markets, are calls on
dispersion. This is an OTC transaction in which a client pays a premium and
receives a payout based on the average realized dispersion across global
markets. It is a way to be economically short correlation and long
volatility across markets, similarly to outperformance index options. I have
plotted the historical ly average realized dispersion between S&P500,
EuroStoxx50, Nikkei, EEM and HSCEI to illustrate.
