Derivatives for Strategic
Exposure

SDM Financial offers a robust suite of structured products to help trading firms express views, hedge directional risk, or capture yield—all with institutional-grade collateral terms. Work with our desk to structure trades using options, collars, total return swaps, NDFs, or principal-protected notes. Whether you’re seeking convex exposure or delta-neutral structures, we build strategies aligned to your thesis and risk framework.

Preserve market exposure while unlocking liquidity through SDM’s collateralized lending solutions. Borrow up to $250M at 7.5–11% with flexible 1–48 month terms and up to 65% LTV—no rehypothecation, no credit check. Use short-term facilities, locked collateral loans, or non-recourse structures to free up capital and extend runway without impacting core positioning.
