Vote now in the 2011 Risk South Africa derivatives survey

Risk's annual poll on South Africa's derivatives markets, including interest rates, currency, equity and other categories

Please vote in Risk's South Africa derivatives survey 2011.

The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to answer. All responses will remain strictly confidential and personal information will not be published or released to any third party.

The poll is divided into four different sections: interest rate, currency, equity and others (credit, commodities & structured products). Please complete this survey by choosing your top three counterparty dealers in order of preference and your top broker in each of the categories. Base your ranking on the criteria most important to you: the counterparty's market-making reliability, keen pricing, speed of transaction, liquidity provision, innovation, etc.

Only vote in categories in which you trade. If you didn't trade in a particular product or currency category over the year, please leave the data field empty.

The results will be available in the September 2011 issue of Risk South Africa and online at www.risk.net.

Please do not vote for your own company or a subsidiary of your company. ANY BANK THAT DOES SO WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE POLL. Risk magazine will be checking for suspicious voting patterns, and will also be excluding all anonymous votes.

The poll is open to dealers, brokers, corporate treasurers, asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies and pension firms.

The closing date for the poll is August 12, 2011.

If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone: +44 (0) 20 7968 4581 or email: duncan.wood@incisivemedia.com.

Thanks in advance for your help and co-operation.
