Richard Fedrick

Richard started his career in 1988 in the Derivatives Product Group (DPG) at Morgan Stanley, which he joined after three years of post-grad research in theoretical particle physics. He spent three years at MS as a fixed income and rates structurer before moving to a similar role at Deutsche Bank in London. In 1993 Richard joined General Re Financial Products, a newly-formed AAA boutique that soon established itself as one of the world’s leading derivatives dealers.

At GRFP Richard initially ran the structuring desk, before becoming the London-time trader for the USD swaps and options and FX exotics books, and finishing as global head of structuring.

After a brief stint at Dresdner, in 2006 Richard moved sideways into the world of consulting and expert training. Through his company FYVR Consulting he trains around the world on most areas of derivatives, with a particular emphasis on interest rates. His clients have included many of the world’s leading financial institutions, in all the major financial centres in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.
