Derivatives

Foreign exchange can be traded through a number of different vehicles or options, each of which will suit different enterprises in different situations, and all of which can be handled by our team of commercial banking specialists throughout the world.

FX Options give the holder the right (but not the obligation) to buy (Call) or sell (Put) a given amount of one currency against another at a predetermined (Strike) price on a given date. This provides extra flexibility over an FX Forward contract and can be an ideal yield enhancement tool for companies with excess liquidity.

Our FX team has a strong risk advisory platform and on-the-ground local expertise in more than 47 countries providing expert advice on the use of FX derivatives.
