Currency hedging

We work closely with our clients to determine their appetite for risk, duration, liquidity, asset class diversification, balance sheet volatility, solution simplicity, costs and efficiencies. We use a diverse basket of financial instruments to meet client needs in the traditional and alternative market space.

• Structured notes, repurchase agreements and derivatives – products designed to enable our institutional clients to access the risks and returns that they require across all asset classes (fixed-income, currencies, commodities and equities)
• Interest rate risk solutions – protection against changing interest rates as these can reduce returns or increase borrowing costs
• Currency risk solutions – protection against fluctuating exchange rate risks to avoid reduced earnings and protect offshore assets
• Liquidity risk solutions – facilitation of funding through capital markets using commercial paper and corporate bond markets
