As a derivatives counterparty, The Bank of New York Mellon is highly rated (Aaa*), a fundamental consideration for anyone who is looking to transact in today's environment. We also maintain a significant presence in interest rate, equity and foreign-exchange derivatives, operating from three of the world's major financial centers. If you are already a client receiving many of the core and mid-office services we perform, you will find there are even more advantages to using us as your derivatives execution counterparty.

We supply the knowledge, sophistication and experience you require to execute, process and settle derivative instruments. This includes helping you to understand derivative transactions, including the underlying assets and potential exposures. It's part of what we do for our clients — along with providing you with end-to-end support and transparency, before, during and after a trade.

Whether you are using derivatives as a hedging tool or as a separate investment strategy, we can help you to realize your objectives.
