Advisory Resources

Specialist capability, engaged mandate by mandate

VIVAR engagements draw on a network of subject-matter advisers across trade finance, banking, law, logistics, and market intelligence. Advisers are engaged on a mandate-specific basis, under confidentiality, and within the conflict-of-interest framework set out in the group's governance standards.

In keeping with the group's discretion principle, individual advisers and counterparty relationships are not named publicly.
