Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDino De Castro is a derivatives and LDI solutions leader with over a decade of experience designing hedging strategies, collateral frameworks, and derivatives infrastructure across major asset managers in Asia. Currently heading a team at Prudential, he has delivered tactical equity and interest-rate hedges, expanded collateral flexibility by enabling corporate bonds for variation margin, and optimized OTC collateral reinvestment. Previously at HSBC and AXA he combined front-office strategy with hands-on model development and tooling—extending C++ pricing libraries, building VBA/Mathematica trading tools, and implementing EMIR-aligned valuation dashboards. His background in quantitative finance (CQF with distinction) and real-world risk management underpins a pragmatic approach that blends model rigor with operational improvements. Based in Hong Kong, Dino pairs portfolio-level risk thinking with implementation experience that improves both trading accuracy and operational flexibility. An understated strength is his track record of turning regulatory and low-rate modeling challenges into practical tools that drive measurable efficiency gains.
