We’re going to hear a lot about equity total return swaps over the next couple of days but let me take a second to point out how extremely normal they are and how unsurprising it should be to find out that Archegos was using them.

In certain countries in Asia at least, TRS puts the onus on brokers to report crossings (both ways) across the big thresholds And the bigger the TRS position, the more relevant this and info leakage become, leverage perhaps was the cherry on top There’s a lot to this for sure

Indeed Not an expert in all mkts but the TRS was a very useful (and lucrative) instrument If you think the ROA hurdle to offer this prod was 200 bps for some, u can see that x the balances is a big number... Leverage, reporting, anonymity, net settlement... watch that last one
