Foreign Exchange Risk Management

How it works

Exchange rate volatility can affect your bottom line profit in different ways. If you have committed to either selling or buying goods or services in a foreign currency and the exchange rate fluctuates, your overall profit from a particular deal can fall, or in low margin deals be wiped out.

Even if you are trading overseas in sterling, you are still exposing your deal to risk by transferring exchange risk to your trading partner. This can make it less attractive for overseas customers to deal with you.

Who can benefit

You can benefit, if you are:

• an importer / an exporter
• engaged in cross border trade
• the owner of overseas assets, joint ventures or partnerships
• competing with overseas companies.

We will develop a four point plan to help you:

• understand your exposures
• understand the solutions
• develop a strategy
• implement your plan.
