Innovate to simplify: Structuring for modern markets

In this episode of J.P. Morgan’s Making Sense, Gurps Kharaud, head of Equities, Structuring and Financing Digital Markets, sits down with Rui Fernandes, head of Global Structuring, to unpack how structuring is evolving in today’s markets. They discuss what clients are asking for (more leverage, financing, protection and tailored exposures), as well as the need to keep solutions as implementable as possible — in other words, innovate to simplify. The conversation also explores how AI is starting to accelerate speed-to-market, improve customization and enhance long-dated post-trade servicing across complex structured transactions.   To learn more about J.P.
