Currency Hedging
How can asset managers and asset owners hedge their investments in non–base currency securities using currency hedging techniques?
Overview
To support you in your foreign exchange journey, Societe Generale has rallied expertise across multiple business units to develop a complete range of FOREX services focusing on Best Execution, efficiency, consistency, transparency and cost effectiveness. We aim to help you seize new business opportunities and quickly adapt your FX strategy to specific hedging needs.
The SGSS foreign exchange offering includes three solutions:
Share Class Hedging: When looking to grow your business by distributing funds in new markets whose currencies are different from the base currency of your funds, share classes must be issued in these currencies. However, FOREX volatility may impact their net asset value. SGSS can help you offer your investors solutions to mitigate this risk by automatically hedging these share classes based on subscriptions and redemptions of fund units.
Portfolio hedging: When looking to expand the scope of your investments, you may want to include assets priced in various currencies in your portfolio. However foreign exchange movements could affect their value. To reduce the risk of FOREX rate swings between the currencies in which your foreign assets are listed and your fund base currency, SGSS offer an automated portfolio hedging service.
Multiple currency hedging: Thanks to multiple currency hedging, your portfolio and your foreign investors will be largely protected from currency volatility. Indeed, multiple currency hedging is a combination of portfolio hedging and share class hedging which allows asset managers to simultaneously hedge each foreign exchange exposure of a fund and offer it in one currency different from its reference currency. In this way, you reduce the number and therefore the cost of your transactions and you are able to develop a coherent and fully integrated currency risk hedging strategy.
