Your 21-page practitioner paper (version 3, January 2026). Inside: five cross-asset case studies (FX, rates, credit, equity, collateral), the four pathologies that keep it happening (career risk asymmetry, optionality worship, measurement mismatch, fake sophistication), eight audit questions for the investment committee, and a practical monetisation doctrine: trigger thresholds, partial monetisation bands, re-hedging logic and an authority matrix.

Hi [FIRST NAME] - I'm just about to head out the door [to ACTIVITY] and thought I'd send this through quickly before I forget.
I saw you [liked / commented on] my post about [TOPIC] (or: thanks for connecting!), so I wanted to properly introduce myself.
I'm Mike. I spent 30+ years trading and structuring derivatives in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney, and now I run Para Bellum Advisors. We give institutions and corporate treasuries independent derivatives advice, with no product to sell.
I had a look at your profile, and you reminded me of [CLIENT, unnamed] I've been working with.
[RESULT: e.g. they were rolling 3-month forwards against a 10-year exposure. Each roll looked cheap. Nobody had run the numbers across all 40 of them.]
The reason it works is that I've sat on the other side of the trade. At Singlife I built the derivatives function from scratch and cut FX execution costs by USD 20M a year, through electronic execution and counterparty pricing discipline.
It's taken three decades, and a lot of hedges that looked right on the term sheet, to really dial this in.
And right now, we've got an offer where [THE OFFER].
As you can imagine, the "zero-cost hedge" pitch isn't a big fan of us haha. But I don't mind, the more treasurers who know what they're actually paying, the better.
Anyway, I really have to run.
Happy to walk you through how it works? I've got [TIME 1] or [TIME 2] free tomorrow?
If not, no biggie at all. Happy to just send you my practitioner paper, Monetising Derivative Hedges, instead.
Nice to meet you!
Cheers,
Mike
