Doing bespoke work since 2002.....

Custom Products Group

Custom Products was started 14 years ago at Lehman Brothers by current co-founder Patrick Hansen, CFA. After 3 years at Lehman, Patrick moved the team to Macquarie Securities where Simon Rigney (co-founder) joined. 3 years ago we took Custom Products independent. 

Our core strength can be summed up three words. 1- Customization - we have very little off the shelf products and most work is done on a one on one bespoke basis. 2- Speed - We pride ourselves in our ability to get requests back to the client very quickly. 3- Confidentiality - We do not redistribute. There is no grace period where we wait a week and then mass blast. Any request stops with that client.

The largest names to make the screen was <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/947" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:947:1">Advanced Info Service Pcl (ADVANC TB)</a> with a 460% debt to Equity ratio and a .42x current ratio. Other current liabilities is almost as big as total current assets.</p><h2>Screen Criteria</h2><ol><li>Debt to…</li></ol>
