Salomon Swapco Inc
To Our Clients
April 15, 1997
For the first quarter, Swapco added $6.2 billion in
net notional, bringing the book to $172.4 billion.
The quarter's notional growth is more moderate
than the Company has experienced in the past, but
represents an annualized growth rate of almost
15%. Growth in reported notional has been
impacted somewhat by the strength of the dollar
over this period. A strengthening dollar decreases
the reported value of foreign-denominated
notional balances. Deal count over the quarter is
up 379, or 13.6%, to 3,167 at March 31.
