When to use forward contracts?
The price of any overseas order can change minute by minute with currency fluctuations. By booking a forward contract, you can help mitigate this currency risk and secure the cost of your future stock purchases. By securing a rate, and booking against company budgeted levels, forward contracts can help protect company exposures. A forward contract can also be very useful when repatriating overseas profits, planning your emigration or investing in an overseas property for example.
Why currency hedging?
You may not like the idea of being locked out of any positive market movements. But forward contracts and currency hedging are made to prevent uncertainty β they allow you to stay on top of your budget without unexpected costs from market movements. It limits market impacts, creates a safety net, helps to plan and forecast, on top of giving you peace of mind. By hedging your currency, you can make more strategic currency trades.
