The Decade of Deleveraging Didn’t Quite Turn Out That Way
Bloomberg has a very interesting interactive article that describes the increased leveraging of the global financial system. Even though in some cases banks and other financial institutions has their balance sheets slimmed down, especially as off-balance sheet liabilities are concerned, the risk has not decreased.

Therefore Deriveum is particularly appropriate for those of the debt holders that want to achieve certainty and get higher yield out of their dollars.
