management

Proactively managing currency risk.

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 realised returns. Currency management uses currency hedging and absolute return strategies to minimise 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 organisation:

Reduce the operational burden of managing FX

 

Improve portfolio
risk-return profile

 

Lower
transaction costs
