Our teams execute all basic currency trades, and they trade more complex instruments and products such as custom structured forex products and forex options.
If you want to optimize your liquidity or hedge your currency risk, we can issue custom products covering most of your requirements in these areas. To ensure that you have the best possible experience, our client team can advise you on the best product and will support you throughout the life of the product. Not only do you benefit from competitive prices, but our custom products are also backed by an AA credit rating from Standard & Poor's, which is a guarantee of financial solidity, even if you do not have an account with BCV.
Our experts will take your entire situation into account – debt portfolio, future needs, maturities, etc. – in order to assess your risk exposure and simulate the financial impact of interest-rate movements. They will develop tailor-made solutions, helping you select the right financial instruments and implement your hedging strategy.
