What we do

The financial risk management experts

Chatham Financial is a global advisory and technology firm focused exclusively on financial risk management. With unsurpassed expertise and experience in the debt and derivatives markets, we support our clients through a broad set of advisory capabilities, process and execution services, and technology solutions.

Unmatched perspective that levels the playing field

Our macro-level perspective across debt and derivatives is equally matched by our deep understanding of corporates, real estate, private equity, financial institutions, infrastructure, and insurance. We speak your language and transform complex strategies into easy to explain results through our team of risk management advisors, CPAs, quantitative analysts, lawyers, and technologists.

Solutions that power results

From interest rate and foreign currency hedging to hedge accounting and regulatory compliance solutions, we put our expertise to work for you as a part of your team. We don’t just deliver answers. We provide explanations with your goals in mind, translating complex concepts into digestible and actionable information.

Technology second to none

Chatham’s cloud-based technology platform provides unmatched perspective to our clients. Real-time integration with major market data providers and insight from our vast daily volumes of pricing data fuel our analysis and models. This combination of advisors and technology gives you the power and confidence to make more informed business decisions.

100% Independent

As the largest independent firm in our industry, we are free from outside interests and fully committed to you. Being a 100% employee-controlled firm allows us to think like owners, not vendors. We see every engagement as an opportunity to partner with you, sharing our knowledge to solve problems with you.

Our Purpose

Our purposes are more than words on a page. They are the enduring foundation for how we work with each other.


  1. Impact our clients. Chatham seeks to earn each client’s trust and partner with them for mutual success.
  2. Impact markets. Chatham seeks to make the markets we serve fair, safe, and transparent.
  3. Impact our employees. Chatham seeks to create a vibrant culture in which our employees develop and thrive both professionally and personally.
  4. Impact our communities and the world. Chatham seeks to combine our time, financial resources, and unique capabilities to better our communities and address global problems.
  5. Impact purpose-oriented investors. Chatham seeks to provide strong, long-term financial returns to current and future generations of investors who steward our purposes, values, and culture.


Our Values

We achieve our purposes by adhering to our values, which define who we are and how we act. Everyday we practice our purposes and values to live out the Chatham culture.


  1. Act with integrity and honesty. We strive to align our thoughts, speech, and actions so that we do what is right, just, and fair, even when no one is looking. We will be honest with each other, with our clients, and with ourselves, regardless of the consequences.
  2. Respect each individual. We want to treat each other with respect and dignity. We strive to serve our fellow team members and help them achieve their full potential. We respect that a person’s life outside of work is important.
  3. Do excellent work. We strive to do the best work possible. We believe that good is the enemy of great and will not be satisfied with mediocrity.
  4. Work together. Individual success is best achieved through team success and a focus on “we” rather than “me.” We work to accomplish great things together and share information freely.
  5. Build long-term relationships. We always invest in our relationships with our clients, business partners, and team members with a long-term perspective in mind. Recognizing that trust is a critical element in any long-term relationship, we seek to earn and develop it with others.


Community & Impact

Giving back: our 1% initiative

We support our communities by giving 1% of our profits to charitable organizations and encouraging every employee to give 1% of their paid company time to community initiatives.
