Overview
Institutional investors and family offices face constant pressure to deliver returns and reduce costs when investing in international assets. They must manage a range of challenges, from the impact of currency volatility on their own and their clients’ investments to the efficient use of liquidity in day-to-day cash management.
To achieve their risk-adjusted return objectives, portfolio managers need to eliminate currency risks that erode returns, generate capital losses, and add recurring costs, while also optimising the deployment of idle cash.
