ICC helps improve and optimize both your FX hedging strategy and its execution. During live transactions, ICC ensures that agreed terms are respected by your banks and brokers, and that no hidden markups are added.
When should you reach out?
- If you’re unsure whether your current hedging strategy is still suitable for this new era of increasing volatility and movement in major currency pairs such as the euro–dollar.
- Fresh perspectives. ICC identifies opportunities or inefficiencies that may not be visible to an in-house team or to long standing bank relationships.
- Governance and accountability: Regulators, boards, and auditors increasingly expect evidence that treasury and risk management decisions are independently validated.
With ICC’s hedging specialists and real time pricing systems on your side, you gain full transparency, lower costs, and the confidence that nothing is overlooked and every decision is the best possible.
What we do together:
Co determine optimal strategy & policy: Define hedge ratio, maturity, and instruments. Align underlying exposures to market dynamics — such as interest rate differentials, scenarios, and volatility — while considering the nature of the business, risk appetite, budget rates, exposure maturity, gross margin, and competitive position.
Proactively monitor markets: FX markets fluctuate daily in response to economic data and (geo)political developments. ICC ensures that (additional) hedges are executed at the right moment to secure budget rates or capture favorable momentum.
Improve FX infrastructure: Analyze and benchmark your current FX framework using both back testing and live pricing. Support in negotiating with single or multiple (syndicate) banks and/or currency brokers to optimize spreads and terms. Provide regular and ad hoc live pricing support for complex and large transactions.
Risk free investment:
Because the strategy and execution optimizations we deliver consistently outweigh our fees, engaging ICC is effectively a risk free investment.
