• Organized from scratch and put into operation an off-balance-sheet trading desk for HongkongBank, Hong Kong in 1986-87. Five traders reported to me. The instruments traded included Eurodollar futures, Bond futures, Future Rate Agreements (FRAs), Money Market Swaps, and Forward Spread Agreements (FSAs).

• Was a vocal advocate of the Eurodollar futures contract two and a half years before it began trading in December 1981. In 1979 in writing I stated, “The Eurodollar Time Deposit futures contract will supersede, in importance, all financial futures markets presently in existence. This contract will fill a widely recognized gap in the financial world that will bring a flood of business from all over the globe.”
• In 1983 wrote a manual for corporations on how to hedge their interest rate risk in the Eurodollar futures market. This piece contributed significantly to my being asked to join Marine Midland Bank.
