Double Backflip bond

English translation: popisowy numer

English term or phrase: Double Backflip bond
there are lots of people in a company, all arguing for their own political interests or constituencies. Other advisers may be more interested in pushing the use of their proprietary Double Backflip bond than in the long-term interests of the client. And boards may have different tolerances for risk than chief executives do. Experience is useful when you’re trying to help the CEO make sense of these sometimes conflicting interests.


It's an interview with Lazard's CEO. My problem is what he has in mind saying 'double backflip bond'.
At first I thought he meant financial intruments, but if so, he would probably have said "bonds', instead of "bond'.

What is the meaning of "bond' in this context.

Many thanks ;-)

Selected answer:popisowy numer
Explanation:
Jeśli ma to jakieś konkretne znaczenie w slangu finansowym, to chyba tylko w rzeczonej firmie.

Wydaje mi się, że chodzi o uleganie przez doradców własnym preferencjom czy słabosciom i można to oddac jako "wykonanie popisowego numeru" lub "wykonanie własnej akrobacji".

Podaję jednak pewność 2 na wypadek, gdyby intuicja mnie jednak zawiodła.
