How Did Nick Leeson Contribute To The Fall of Barings Bank?
Nick Leeson is a former derivatives trader who became notorious for bankrupting Barings Bank, the United Kingdom’s oldest merchant bank, in 1995. After opening a Future and Options office in Singapore, Leeson became a rogue trader, eventually losing over $1 billion of Baring’s capital as its head of operations on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
On behalf of his clients, Leeson was primarily trading futures on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average, the primary index in Tokyo. Leeson should have been managing a cash neutral business. This strategy entails managing an investment portfolio without adding any capital. In Leeson’s case, if money was made or lost on the trades it would have belonged to the clients. Barings’ only compensation on the trades should have been a commission, and only a small amount of the trades were meant to be proprietary, or on behalf of the bank itself. In fact, Leeson was actually using the bank’s money to make bets on the market in an attempt to recoup his trading losses.
