About Us
Prytania was established in 2003 with the vision of creating a boutique risk advisory and asset management firm specializing in the areas of structured finance and credit. The Prytania philosophy is to deliver our unique combination of risk management experience, credit analysis, structural product knowledge and proprietary analytics for the benefit of our clients.
Our management team have been involved in the financial markets since the mid-1980's and have played a significant role in the development of the structured finance and credit derivative markets. Prytania has more than twenty staff based at its London head office, with a variety of backgrounds including investment management, credit analysis, economic forecasting, corporate finance, investment banking and technology development. Prytania also benefits from the experience of three senior advisors who bring a wealth of knowledge from their backgrounds in investment banking, capital markets, corporate treasury and asset management.
In asset management, Prytania invests in and manages portfolios that consist primarily of structured credit products, including ABS and CDOs (both cash and synthetic-based), originated in Europe and the US. In risk advisory, Prytania advises clients across a broader range of investment risks including structured credit, corporate credit, emerging markets, commodity-linked, interest rate and derivative products.
Our clients are predominantly large financial institutions in the UK, Europe and the Middle East, including banks, insurance companies, asset managers, pension funds and bank regulatory institutions.
