Foreign exchange movements have a direct impact on a wide range of UK corporates. Frequently an overseas currency transaction will be meticulously costed, negotiated and executed, only for the anticipated value to be subsequently wiped out by fluctuations in the currency markets. These market movements are beyond the control if individual businesses, but they have a real and significant impact on profitability and cash flow.

In recent years, banks have started offering their corporate clients a more sophisticated mix of foreign exchange products – with an emphasis on options – as opposed to more traditional spot and forwards. But how do you as a Group Treasurer use these products and ensure they are fairly priced and appropriate for your business?

The ACT (The Association of Corporate Treasurers) and HiFX bring you the
‘De-mystifying and evaluating FX Options’ breakfast symposium to discuss the issues associated with these products and to show you how corporate organisations are already using them to their advantage.

Attend the breakfast and find out what the FX Options market could do for your business and gain an insight into suitability, pricing and risk implications.
