The Société Générale Delta One Desk is back in the news after two traders were dismissed - accused of placing unauthorized risky options trades.
Kavish Kataria - one of the traders in question - attacked the banks leadership with a LinkedIn post on Thursday saying the âentire risk team and other bossesâ were equally responsible for the trades and complaining that his bonus had been withheld.
The Delta One desk that Kataria worked on is the same trading desk where rogue SocGen trader JĂ©rĂŽme Kerviel caused a $5.2 billion dollar loss in a 2008 scandal that caused the US Federal Reserve to cut rates to stabilize markets.
SocGen told Bloomberg News earlier this week that two people based in Hong Kong had left last year - a trader and a team leader - after a âone-off trading incident, which didnât generate any profit impact and led to appropriate mending measuresâ.

My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.
Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to make this switch for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about. I'll appreciate any recommendation.
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I just looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

ao, traders?
Kerviel was certainly not that. He started on the back office (in security and fraud detection, amusingly), created some mean excel macro to automate a lot of stuff, impressed his bosses who put him in the front office.
I worked at the Socgen IT departement for two years, and have a friend who was there for 15. To be honest, the internal politics, and overall management make this news absolutely unsurprising to me. Oudea was a bad CEO., at least on the IT side: Socgen was probably the most high tech French bank in 2011, with a bit of NIH syndrom but a really good tech stack and few, efficient teams. Now its way past his prime, and one of the most costly IT departement for _european_ banks, for the 6th _french_ banck. His successor isn't better, worst on some point, but at least he doesn't believe in fairytales, like "moving to Asia will cut our IT cost by 40%!" (proceed to duplicate your teams, infra, and managers and more than double your cost in a year)

Makes sense when you put it that way.
risk re-sporting is running the competition about who can take more risk one more time
Well, that's mighty embarrassing, isn't it?

I work in the trading industry (also with a lot of ex Investment Banking-people). My friends often don't believe me when I tell them about the poor risk management, the lack of knowledge on how the business/product works and general incompetency in this industry. So thank you very much for videos like these Mr Boyle. With each of those videos my friends get to see those stories from an industry expert!
I can totally believe that even in the highest of the highest positions, there are many people who have no idea what they are doing and only got to their position by licking the right boots
I once went on a date with a freelance lawyer who teased me, saying, âDo you not fully understand what your bank does? I know exactly how my company earns money.â
This is the challenge Investment Banking faces today: its overly complex processes and business models make it difficult for middle management to discern arrogance from confidence among new joiners.

That's the channel in a nutshell
YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS IT IDIOT THATS PART OF THE WHOLE THING...
The Kerviel/SBF victim's playbook: "I'm innocent because I wasn't caught right away!"
also, because "I don't think I'm guilty."
To be fair, the risk management system exists for a reason. And when you think about it, at the end of the day, the one with larger long-term losses (in both customer trust and customer business) will be the bank, not the random-ass trader who went rogue.
One person is rarely solely responsible for things going wrong in this context. It's usually a sequence of failures. That isn't to say that the problem wasn't the rogue trader in question (because it was), but that simply, there is usually more to the story.
Humor with in depth news and education. The authorities are guilty of my crime because I wasn't caught before I committed the crime. Hey, your Mother doesn't work here, dude! Excellent. Thank you!
"Defund Compliance!" I love it. Why didn't think of it? Arrrghh BOOOYLE !!!! đ
this man is truly an inspiration to us all. any illiterate schmuck can become a VP with hard work and gumption.
Quoting another commenter - "ovenright trade = hot trade; risk re-sporting = making a competition about who can take more risk." These were the two major 'grammatical errors' pointed out in the video. The other minor ones can also be chalked up to him clearly not being a native English speaker.
7:25
As a non-native English speaker myself I am shocked that no one did enforce an autocorrect on his post.
I assume it's his teacher's fault for not guiding his fingers while typing.
Can't wait to hear about the latest diss-track.
There he is!
I'm glad to know that if I ever was to apply for a VP position at SocGen, I wouldn't have to worry about grammar and spelling.
I have also noted that "according to me X was part of my role" is a valid defence statement to use if I'll ever get in trouble at work.
According to me I'm also allowed to take Lambos from the dealer and the fact that I haven't been caught yet clearly proofs that I'm right.
So bosses know when youre a minute late for work, or how many keystrokes you're doing each minute but cant be expected to know when you've taken a 50bn position on your trading desk. Sounds reasonable.
This whole "they knew what I was doing" reminds me of the scene towards the end of the movie "Margin Call", where it turns out that management knew exactly the risks involved in MBS trading and were just acting surprised in front of the lawyers
"...sentenced to five years in prison, but served only five months." Nothing dodgy there then.

@@tylerm2676 Indeed! "Nice work if you can get it".
Mr. Boyle's analysis of financial events: S-tier
Mr. Boyle's sense of humour: God-tier
đ€ I hesitate to ask why I should not be considered for a trading desk, when my mistakes would AT LEAST be within the risk metrics?
In retail it is common for managers to order employees to do something against company policy, terms of service, blatantly illegal etc etc and when the employee is caught deny telling them to do any of that. I'm sure this would happen in other businesses too, especially when they can use the employee as a fall guy should their schemes go wrong.
Kataria makes a fair point though, I mean, how comes the CEO or the Risk Management department didn't know where Billions of their trading funds were invested?? If a Trader isn't allowed to trade certain assets then the bank should have a system that blocks them from doing so.
The fact that we only hear about the Bad Trades and never the good ones shows that gambling is standard operating procedure in these Trading Desks.
I also suspect that these Traders got their jobs through nepotism or some other inappropriate meansđ how can a VP fail in basic spelling and punctuation, he cant even use spell checkđ
Exactly
Delta one desks trade options all the time because options can be arranged to replicate delta one derivatives (e.g. long European call / short European put both with same strike and same maturity is just a synthetic long forward). From there, you cannot just block option trading completely.
However, if the risk systems were good enough and stress tests on all parameters were run on a regular basis, they should have been able to identify if a given book clearly hasnât a delta one payoff when aggregating all the financial instruments traded in the book. The huge concern about their risk management lies here IMO.
Also, delta one desks donât use the bank own funds, they trade almost everything on borrowed money (theyâre essentially leveraging the balance sheet of the bank), and the typical size of a given trade can be huge (up to a few billions for one trade). Size only is not a good enough indicator of whether rogue trading is happening or not.
And CEO's are paid bonuses IRRESPECTIVE of whether their company loses money or not
"According to me..." đđ
I'm usingthat line now, what a champ đ
Things unlikely to improve at SocGen until they change their logo, probably the worst corporate branding of all time: "The Negative Sign". Maybe the reason they keep attracting the wrong sort of employee.
Maybe (SocGen) in red font?

Haha the Ben Bernank. Nice callback, one of my favourites.
Thank you for standing up for the poor traders. You have opened my mind to their plight. In sympathy with them, I think it's time for me to buy some fashion glasses and reevaluate my hairstyle.
I do find it strange that a person can be put in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars without having someone tell him what his job is. Perhaps they trust that the trader has received a proper education or has experience from previous work, seems wild to me.
Oh my gosh "defund compliance" had me laughing so much. Keep it up Patrick, I love the content.

According to me, this is the best channel on CZcams
While I am watching this on CZcams on my mobile, the next video is for some very dodging looking FX thing. I love how CZcams lumps these together.
This also has me wondering. Often the case with videos treating these subjects.
Iâm confused SocGen defined Delta One as product without optionality. It stills allows for options in order to achieve the synthetic Delta One. This is a quote from Sox Gen âAlthough these products do not have optionality, they can be built from options using the parity between calls and putsâ. So why was he fired for using option and this video for mocking him?
Yeah I was wondering about that also. It's not clear from the reporting on the incident how exactly the trades were structured, so maybe they weren't net 1.0 delta in every evolution. Or maybe it was just the downside risk that was the firing offense, even if the trade structure was legit.
"Tengo muchos zapatos y los uso todos" LOL.... Outstanding!
didnt the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank in the UK also claim that it was the fault of the executives rather than him?
Correct. He was an arrogant little twat.

A rallying call we can all get behind. Great one Patrick.
Iâve created and worked on trade booking/position keeping/risk management systems at tier one banks. It is extremely odd that they even had permission to book these trades. And normally on these desks you only have access to linear products.
đ I'd think that if a trader isn't allowed to trade certain assets then those assets shouldn't appear on their monitor. Unless the bosses were in on it too.
I definitely can book unauthorized product. The control is not done in the booking system.
I do exotics option thus, and the risk mandates are much more complicated than delta one though.
I used to trade an unauthorized trade because risk team removed it from the mandate by mistake. The way this incident was handled was absolutely shocking. Even if the product was removed by mistake I was hit with a "serious breach" my management line didn't defend me arguing I have to check the 10 pages mandate every time (while I have to respond withing seconds to request). And they proove to be incompetent in understanding the basic constraints we have has trader.

Delta farce.
(You can't derive a mandate from yourself. You can't give yourself permission to break someone else's rules. You *can* ignore them, or refuse to acknowledge their authority, or point out that some of the rules directly contradict some of the other rules, so no-one can follow all the rules all the time, or calmly point out that the rules as written do not reflect any version of operative reality due to flawed assumptions or poor semantics, and thusly should not be followed because to do that would create total chaos, or in fact any number of logical responses to the imposition of someone else's mental map and the associated cascading logic that derives from it.
But 'Nuh-uh, Imma do what I want! Everyone else needs to immediately restrain me if they don't like it!' is toddler logic, even when it's expressed with adolescent level grammar and spelling.)
6:30 _"...But do you know what I like more than global financial markets-crashing trades? _*_Knowledge._*_ "_
No mention of the Drake/Lamar situation ? Patrick, I though you were the best source for rap news.
With " according to me" he means his understanding of his job description was that he was allowed to trade options, or at least that's his claim rightly or wrongly. In the abscence of any documentation i.e. job descriotion , trading rules for that desk etc. it's hard to judge what was really going on at Soc Gen.

Always đ Amazing stories from our Professor Boyle. đ
This is so entertaining. The fact that you can report on this with a poker face just blows any of the Netflix series (I canceled my Netflix subscription because they are not even trying anymore).
Oh no, we definitely do think of the traders, we're often making rules and decisions specifically with them in mind.
Using the 'rouge trader' excuse, any giant corporation can explain how some random box handler destroyed a shipping company or how a clerk set in motion the end of Western Civilization . . . .
Lol this was fun. I find it funny how you can be making upwards of 200 thousand dollars a year on the front desk and get in over your head so much that you feel like you own the bank now and start disregarding every regulation.
always in my prayers
The trading system was far more likely the culprit than the risk system. What products are tradeable by a desk or individual are down to the trading system, simply the trader shouldn't have been able to enter an option if that's not part of their desk's remit. The risk system would have been involved only after the trade deals were entered prior to execution. The risk system would then have an incredibly small window to return a yes/no decision. In this case an option expiring on the same day would have generated very little risk. The fact that only worst case stress testing showed an issue would not be part of the risk system decision making in high volume trading scenarios. The limits for the desk\trade type\ccy and underlying asset are set in part to act as a proxy for stress scenarios. As for stress testing a 25% fall in say an Indian stock index will impact all the banks trading on that index or underlying stocks. Additionally the risk department will likely have movements in the index correlated with movements in other assets say INR in this case. Stress testing will want to see the whole picture, a loss in one set of trades may well be offset (or exacerbated) in another area of the bank's trade portfolio.
