Foreign Exchange & Interest Rate Risk Management

Arlingclose works with clients to identify and manage foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposures in a way that is consistent with the stakeholder risk appetite and established treasury policy. This starts with understanding the cost and revenue bases of the organisation, the size of exposures and agreeing the targeted risk outcome. From there a range of outcomes can be modelled and stress tested before tailoring a hedging approach that reaches the desired balance of certainty and flexibility.

Risk Management Policy

Tailored policy that is measurable and applicable

Movements in interest rates and foreign exchange markets can materially affect borrowing costs, cash flows and profitability. We work with clients to identify, assess and manage these exposures with advice tailored to your financial objectives and risk appetite. This includes development and evaluation of risk management policies, selecting appropriate instruments and timing transactions. The focus is on reducing uncertainty and improving financial resilience by locking in desired scenarios or targeting a certain portfolio hedging ratio.

Hedging Instruments

Balancing certainty, flexibility, and cost

Arlingclose helps clients build financial resilience by selecting suitable hedging instruments and hedging ratios across portfolios based on the timing, certainty and sensitivity of underlying exposures. Our advice considers cost, flexibility, accounting treatment and covers a range of suitable solutions including forwards, swaps, options and swaptions. Through a measured approach we can help you balance certainty and protection against market volatility with flexibility and the ability to benefit from beneficial movements.

Assurance & Guidance

Our clear, pragmatic advice and guidance gives organisations, executives and stakeholders invaluable assurance that their treasury operations and financial activities remain appropriate, effective and resilient through changing economic conditions, while maintaining compliance with relevant legislation, regulation, governance requirements and professional standards.
