Exchange4free take a proactive approach towards helping our clients manage their foreign exchange risk and ensure that the foreign exchange hedging strategy is appropriate for the risk appetite of the business.

We also help clients identify the and strip out the foreign exchange risk from the price risk, and ensure that the timing of these risks are correctly identified, monitored and hedged to ensure that the foreign exchange exposure of the business is efficiently and effectively managed.

Foreign exchange and price risk is a real risk to any business operating in the foreign exchange markets and it is imperative that these risks are managed within a risk profile that suites both the client as well as his business.

Foreign exchange losses represent real losses to any business and it is possible for even a very successful business to be running at a loss due to currency fluctuations and mismanagement alone.

For many years businesses have ignored the implications of movements in the foreign exchange markets on their bottom line but as South Africa has expanded its international trade it has become vitally important for companies to correctly identify, both the source and timing of these risks, as well as effectively manage them.

Exchange4free aim to assist our clients with formulating a relevant risk policy and hedging framework within which to manage your foreign exchange risk. This allows clients to once again focus on their core business areas as opposed to trying to be a currency trader and guess where the market is going next.

We try to remove a degree of risk from your business so that you are not unduly exposed to volatile currency movements and you can get back to focusing on the core elements of your business and making money.
