Well, after ten years running this site my spouse told me I should at least own up to who I am, but bugger that. It’s no real secret and anyone with a basic yen for online surveillance will be able to work it out, but you may know me as mild-mannered Penry. Until recently I was second in charge of checking that the firm’s name was spelled correctly on the [[football team]] at [[Wickliffe Hampton Securities Inc.]], London Branch, but I eventually summoned the guts to leave that behind and now I’m in a legal department of one. It’s fun.

But what I do have is 30 years’ experience as a commercial lawyer, in New Zealand (for a bit) and in the UK (for the rest). I’ve worked at law firms big and small, and three kinds of investment bank: American, British and Swiss, and now I work at a scrappy little start up. As you may deduce I have specialised, over the years, in [[Structured note|structured products]], [[Repackaging|repackagings]], credit, fund derivatives, fund solutions, [[Commodity derivatives|commodities]], [[Negotiation|ISDA negotiations]], [[Cash equity|cash equities]], [[equity derivatives]], [[synthetic equity derivative]]s, [[prime brokerage]], [[securities financing]], and [[emissions]] derivatives. Some of what I’ve found out makes up the useful bits of this site.

The [[Jolly Contrarian]] started out life in 2012, as “''AmwellClear''”, as a fun way way of remembering the difference between {{isdaprov|Loss}}, {{isdaprov|Market Quotation}}s, {{isdaprov|Close Out Amount}}s and {{isdaprov|Unpaid Amount}}s and just kept growing.
