Forwards

Forward contracts are utilised by both private and corporate clients to effectively budget for their international payments. A forward contract enables the client to buy currency now at an agreed rate that can be drawn down at any point within the following 24 months. This is a perfect way for an overseas property buyer or private/corporate client who has a series of payments to make to budget for their purchase. The advanteages it offers are well illustrated by looking at what has happened to the GBP:EURO rates over the past 6 months.

Spot Transactions

A spot transaction is the exchange of one currency for another at a specified rate for settlement in two working days. There are no associated costs with spot transactions. If you transfer funds via CHAPS you may be charged a fee, this depends on your agreement with your bank.

Yes

Forwards

World First will make a payment to your requested bank account on the agreed forward date, as long as World First has received your funds. You can fix a forward exchange rate for any period from 3 days up to 1 year in advance. A deposit of between 3% - 10% of the amount of the deal is required for a forward contract. This must be received within 3 days of the forward contract being agreed. In order to guarantee delivery of funds on the settlement date, it is recommended that you settle the outstanding balance on the contract 2 working days before the contract is due to settle. This type of contract is ideal if you want to fix a rate now, but will not be making immediate payment. e.g. fixing a pound sterling to euro exchange rate today for transfer on a future date.
Flexible Forward Contract
Also known as a "time option", this type of contract is similar to a forward contract but allows you to make and receive the pre-agreed payments early if required. This type of contract is ideal if you know you need to purchase a foreign currency, wish to fix the exchange rate now but are not sure of the exact settlement date.

Yes

Options

A vanilla option provides the right but not the obligation to buy a currency on a pre-determined forward date at a guaranteed worst case rate. It also allows you to benefit from any favourable exchange rate move for 100% of the amount (in return for an upfront premium).

Yes

Hedging Services

World First Markets Ltd offers a range of hedging strategies (currency options) to enable you to manage exchange rate fluctuations. These strategies are tailored to fit your exposure, currency forecast and risk level. They usually enable you to protect yourself from adverse rate movements but benefit from favourable exchange rate moves.
The three most widely used strategies are:
A vanilla option provides the right but not the obligation to buy a currency on a pre-determined forward date at a guaranteed worst case rate. It also allows you to benefit from any favourable exchange rate move for 100% of the amount (in return for an upfront premium).
Participating forward: this provides a guaranteed worst case rate for the full transaction amount, like a forward contract. However it also provides the ability to ‘participate’ for 50% of the amount in any favourable exchange rate move.
Risk reversal: this provides the ability to fix a worst case rate for a currency purchase, like a forward contract. However you can benefit 100% in any favourable move up to a pre-determined best case exchange rate. There is a reduced premium for this option.

6. Hedging strategies.
7. Currency Options.
Orders Available Stop Loss Order: A stop loss order is a means of limiting your risk from adverse exchange rates. A currency level is set. If that currency level is reached, the trade is automatically executed in the market. The currency level used for a stop loss order is always worse than the current market price. This is a way to protect yourself from adverse changes in exchange rates without needing to constantly monitor the rate.
Take Profit Order: Like a stop loss order, a take profit order first involves setting a currency level. Once that currency level is reached, the trade is executed in the market. The currency level used for a take profit order is always better than the current market price. This is a way to capitalise on improvements in exchange rates without needing to constantly monitor the rate.
OCO - "One Cancels Other": A combination of a 'Stop Loss' order and a 'Take Profit' order. When one of these two orders is executed, the other order is automatically cancelled. Order: You can leave an "order" with us to transact on your behalf if a particular exchange rate is reached.
GTC - Good Till Cancelled: A GTC foreign exchange order will be left in the market until executed or cancelled by you.

4. We can offer you forward contracts and other hedging options to protect you from currency movements and to fix the exchange rate for a transaction up to 2 years in the future.

Spot Transactions

A spot contract is an agreement to buy or sell currency for immediate delivery (up to five days ahead). If your business needs to make a payment straight away and wants the most competitive exchange rates available, this type of contract should be suitable.

Yes

Forwards

A forward contract allows you to lock into an exchange rate for delivery up to two years in the future. Forward contracts are ideal for companies concerned that future rate fluctuations may erode profits, or those that wish to fix a favourable rate for future currency payments.

Yes

Options

A foreign exchange option provides the right – but not the obligation – to enter into a foreign exchange contract at a known exchange rate on a known future date. In many ways, an option is like an insurance policy*, where you pay a premium to protect against a ‘worst case’ rate (the strike rate of the option) – but there is still the potential to benefit if market rates move in your favour. Options provide a guaranteed future rate of exchange. Unlike a forward contract however, your business is not obliged to deal at that rate. If the market rate is in your favour when an option matures, you can let it lapse and choose to deal in the ‘spot market’ at the more favourable rate.
 
Options could be suitable if you:
 
Need to protect yourself from adverse currency movements;
Are not in a position to place the deposit required for a forward contract; or
Want to fix a known ‘worst case rate’ with the opportunity to book a spot contract, if the market moves in your favour.
 
Why buy options from Moneycorp?
 
Options are one of the many types of contract we offer to help our clients manage their
foreign exchange exposure. Options are a type of derivative and before you can deal in them, we will make an assessment as to whether they are appropriate given your circumstances. Whilst most banks will only provide these products to larger companies, Moneycorp offers options – at competitive prices – to a variety of clients, including private individuals and SMEs.
 
For over 30 years, Moneycorp has been delivering innovative, industry-leading financial solutions. As the marketplace becomes increasingly sophisticated, we continue to focus on developing long-term relationships with our clients and on employing the right expertise to meet and exceed their expectations.
 
* Foreign exchange options are not pure protection insurance policies or general insurance policies as defined by the Financial Services Authority.
 
This financial promotion is issued by TTT Moneycorp Limited (Moneycorp). Foreign exchange options can carry a high level of risk to your capital and are not suitable for everyone. You should seek independent advice if necessary.
