Market Research
Index, sector, derivative, volatility, commodity and currency research with scenario-based interpretation and clearly stated assumptions.
WHAT WE DELIVER
From analysis to implementation.
Our solutions are modular. Clients can engage RBS for a focused research requirement or for an end-to-end workflow that connects data, strategy, risk, execution and technology.
Every engagement is shaped around the intended decision. We define the question, establish the evidence required, test alternative scenarios and produce outputs that can be reviewed, monitored and improved over time.
Options Research
Payoff analysis, expiry behaviour, volatility structures, strategy stress testing, liquidity considerations and execution constraints.
Backtesting
Rule-based historical simulation with realistic entries, exits, slippage, costs, fixed-strike logic, regime comparison and drawdown review.
Risk Frameworks
Position sizing, exposure limits, combined premium controls, stop-loss structures, drawdown rules, escalation triggers and exception management.
Quantitative Analytics
Statistical analysis, factor testing, pattern evaluation, sensitivity testing, data validation and independent model review.
Trading Technology
Web dashboards, broker/API integrations, monitoring tools, alerts, reporting, replay systems and workflow automation.
Typical engagement pathways
Focused diagnostic: a defined question, targeted analysis and a concise recommendation. Framework design: an end-to-end rule set covering data, execution, risk and review. Technology implementation: a dashboard or workflow that turns an approved framework into a usable operating system. Ongoing review: periodic monitoring, model validation and controlled refinement as market conditions change.
Deliverables designed for use
Depending on the engagement, outputs may include research notes, scenario maps, historical simulations, risk matrices, operating rules, dashboards, data files, alerts, implementation roadmaps and review checklists. We prioritise clarity and maintainability so that the work remains useful after handover.
