Subject: EOL/ Hedge Funds

Most of the macro hedge funds want to trade global crude products and gas
options immediately. However, I am having a big problem getting Tudor and
like funds up and running on EOL-

Problems:
#1: Credit- major back-log on new names - we don't have enough resources to
deal with these names (the structures of the funds can be complex- not like
dealing with industrials).
#2: With those that we have docs, credit has said we can not trade on-line.
(???)

The only differences I see with funds trading online is that their trades
need to go to credit's (Bill Bradford's group) to be included in daily MTM
and 5 day VAR reports. We calculate variation margin off these reports so
its essential credit gets the trades...

AND

In the case of Tudor, they allocate trades between funds- the EOL trades
would need to go to me or the backoffice, so we could allocate them.

I think the EOL reporting issues can easily be resolved- the credit back log
is the real killer at the moment.

Rgds,
Caroline

Now that gas options have been launched how are they being received ? Have
you been able to convince any funds to trade. I've heard that Tudor is a huge
player. where do they stand ?
