DERIVATIVES / FORWARDS & SWAPS

Specific cash flows.
Explicit terms.

Bilateral contract structures for specified future settlement or exchanged cash flows, with clear references and counterparty responsibilities.

HOW THE INSTRUMENT WORKS

Forwards & Swaps

A forward fixes the terms of a transaction for a future date. A swap exchanges defined cash flows or returns according to an agreed schedule and reference. These bilateral structures require close attention to documentation, valuation, collateral and counterparty obligations.

INSTITUTIONAL FOCUS

Eligible institutional counterparties, corporate treasury teams, funds and professional portfolio managers.

APPLICATIONS

Start with a specific exposure.

01

Future conversion requirements

Assess a dated currency or digital-asset conversion against a known payment, receipt or portfolio rebalancing date.

02

Return and financing exposure

Compare agreed return-linked or financing-linked cash flows with the institution’s intended economic exposure.

03

Tailored settlement schedules

Map periodic payments, resets and maturity events to an existing treasury or investment process.
