At Crown Agents Bank, we recognise that institutions manage currency risk for many different reasons. Whether your business generates predictable currency flows or is exposed to one-off transactions we can advise on how to implement the appropriate protections that can help you plan for the future with fewer surprises. We provide tools that are designed to meet your practical trading needs with competitive pricing and execution by our team with a long history in trading both specialist and emerging-market currencies.
Manage FX risk with certainty
Mitigating risk with confidence
We take the time to understand the timing, size and sensitivities of our clients’ currency positions with treasury and finance teams. This allows us to tailor hedging structures that reflect commercial realities – this may include locking in a future rate, averaging volatility over a period of time or exposures related to specific projects or trade cycles. We aim to provide greater certainty for clients while avoiding unnecessary complexity.
