What is currency management?
When institutional investors make allocations to international assets, they are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. That currency exposure can have a large impact on realized returns. Currency management uses currency hedging and absolute return strategies to minimize the risks of currency exposure and seeks to use currency factors as a source of diversified return.
We offer a comprehensive currency management strategy and resources with experience and expertise to help your organization:
Reduce the operational burden of managing FX
Improve portfolio
risk-return profile
