Our team of specialists is entirely dedicated to the service of our clientele in the trading of currencies and precious metals. Our goal is to provide advice and tailored solutions for each customer regarding their investments and portfolio allocations.

Our product offering:

• spot dealing is available for clients requiring basic coverage involving two-day settlement and delivery
• tailored trading and hedging strategies are recommended on an advisory basis for transactional clients in search of portfolio optimisation. The use of forward transactions and options is adopted to contain volatility and hedge portfolio exposure to currency and precious metals.
• Structured products are created for clients wishing to benefit from the potentially attractive returns offered in the foreign exchange and precious metals markets. Moreover, they are constructed within the realm of fully or partially protected capital investment.
• By structuring prudent currency overlay strategies, we can offer a recurring source of revenue via option ‘premiums’. This personalised allocation approach enables portfolio yield enhancement, and requires only potential and partial diversification of a nonleveraged, conservative portfolio.
• We offer advice on the ideal currency and precious metals allocations for your portfolio, adapted to your underlying base currency and individual investment profile. The opportunistic diversification without the use of leverage enables you to optimise the return of your portfolio and maintain full liquidity at all times.
