FAB has no exposure to corporate or sovereign debt. Client monies are thus segregated and held entirely separate from FAB’s own money, ensuring that in the event of default by FAB, client funds will be returned to them (clients) rather than being treated as a recoverable asset by general creditors of FAB. All monies, including net-running, unrealized profits is held on behalf of clients and distributed across several top-tier banks.

Sophisticated technology and pricing engines are used to hedge our client positions in real-time.
