Decision making

• Do you struggle to measure currency risk and take proactive steps to mitigate this?
• Do you struggle to manage and maintain an FX Policy?
• Are you able to perform informative back-tests, to assess historic performance and make better informed future decisions?
• Can you easily assess your current performance versus key budget rates?

How can SmartHedge assist decision making?

We have specifically developed SmartHedge to make the decision-making process as informative and easy as possible. SmartHedge allows you to visualise your total current position using a variety of data. This in turn allows you to quickly make decisions around your broader hedging approach, run simple and informative data back tests or market stress tests, and proactively manage adherence to an FX policy.

Easily see your current forecasts and hedging positions in one place, with the ability to set different types of forecasts in one model. Graphs give an assessment of performance versus metrics such as market rate or budget rate.
