Global currency management

Passive currency hedging services

As part of our full suite of foreign exchange (FX) solutions, we provide a passive currency hedging service to support the needs of asset managers and asset owners around the world. Our Global Currency Management solution gives managers and institutional investors a highly automated and scalable solution for portfolio and share-class currency hedging with available look-through and index replication strategies. This tool enables investors to maximize the performance of their assets and protect their overall investment from FX volatility.

Comprehensive end-to-end solution

Our rules-based Global Currency Management solution benefits clients who want to invest outside their home country without taking on volatile currency risks. This service reduces the operational burden of an in-house program, allowing managers to focus on their core investment expertise. Additional advantages include:
  • Delivers automation, scalability, performance, and market leading expertise.
  • Mitigates the risk of a highly complex workflow, outsourcing the operational and execution risks.
  • Provides real-time reporting and attribution analytics for evaluating performance through our online Pivot portal.

Hedging solutions

Our solution supports a variety of hedging options to help you best manage exposure and volatile currency risk based on your unique needs.
  • Share-class hedging: used to deliver the same return to foreign-class investors as enjoyed by the domestic investors in a fund.
  • Look-through share-class hedging: used to see into the underlying fund’s multi-currency portfolio and give share-class investors direct hedging to those exposures.
  • Portfolio hedging: used to manage the currency risk from multi-currency exposures of a portfolio.
  • Currency-hedged benchmarks: used to minimize slippage against published currency-hedged indices.
