Our Services

Background Review

Preceding any hedging recommendation, we ensure that we review and understand the key elements of the financial model and business objectives, including:

• Business vision and strategy
• Cash flow model
• Risk exposures
• Sensitivity of model to variances in budgeted rates
• Debt facilities and associated covenants
• Net debt and gross debt forecasts
• Other management and board level concerns.

Advisory

After equipping ourselves with the necessary knowledge and information on the core elements outlined above, we will then create various hedging strategies which we deem to be appropriate according to the identified objectives as well as prevailing market conditions with respect to the pricing/costs of those strategies.

Reporting

We then send you a written report which clearly demonstrates our understanding of the background and indentifies the appropriate hedging strategies. A full discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the strategies is presented, followed by a recommendation of our preferred strategy and the rationale behind it. The application of the preferred strategy will be illustrated on your positions to show how the hedging would work in practice.

Pricing/Benchmarking

Once the hedging decision has been made, our specialist pricing team will provide updated market pricing on the chosen strategy. This benchmarking process ensures that all elements of the transaction are identified with the providing bank prior to implementation. This independent validation of pricing ensures the client gains transparency and reassurance that a fair price has been achieved.

We are happy to negotiate the pricing with the bank provider on your behalf prior to execution.

Documentation

We ensure all appropriate ISDA documentation is in place and terms are aligned with other banking documents.

We also check all ensuing documentation post completion to ensure pricing and profiles are accurate.

Valuations

We offer a regular valuation service, providing you with the necessary information for your audited accounts, or simply for internal control purposes.

Post Transaction Service

Our focus on building long-term relationships means the service continues post implementation. You have full access to valuation updates and general information regarding financial markets and the key data impacting trends.

We also regularly review hedging strategies, ensuring they remain valid as the business model evolves and the financial markets change.
