Foreign Exchange

Having a dedicated Foreign Exchange service also allows you, via an integrated and flexible offer, to meet the needs resulting from your securities activities.

We can offer you market access to handle your Spot, Forward and Swap transactions for a wide range of currencies.

Within SGSS, we pride ourselves on our competitive prices (via our direct access to the Foreign Exchange interbank market).

Our Foreign Exchange desk operates as a one-stop shop for all Foreign Exchange services related to securities management.

By allowing us to carry out automatically your Forex transactions stemming from your securities (settlement/delivery, coupon and dividend payments…), through standard settlement instructions you will avoid overdrafts: settlement date of the foreign exchange deals matches the settlement date of the securities.

Clients can actively manage their Foreign Exchange deals (spot, forwards and swaps) by contacting our Foreign Exchange desk. Our system is fully interfaced with SGSS Custody, which means that if your accounts are open with SGSS, you do not have to inform the Custodian of Foreign Exchange deals traded with our Foreign Exchange desk.

Moreover, our Share Class Hedging offer allows Asset Managers to hedge Foreign Exchange exposures between classes of shares denominated in major currencies.
