BENEFITS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Avoid FX Losses
If you’re buying a property in a Eurozone country for £250,000 and you paid the deposit when the exchange rate was 1.25 to the pound. The purchase price in sterling is £200,000. If the Euro strengthens to 1.10 to the pound it would change the purchase price to over £227,000, a 13.5% increase and an extra £27,000.
Save Thousands
Currency hedging can save you thousands. The most widely used method is the forward contract, an agreement between the parties to fix the exchange rate at its current rate or at an agreed rate for the entire length of the transaction process.
Fully Underwritten
The contract is underwritten by a bank or other financial services provider so that they assume the risk of any loss as well as the benefit of any gain should the currency move in the opposite direction.
HOW IT WORKS
Take Advice
Stellar Capital will analyse your plans, advise on the most appropriate FX protections and connect you with one of our experienced financial partners.
Consider the Options
Before you enter into any length of forward contract, our partners will shop around for the best rate currently available and base the contract on that. The spot rates offered by high street banks are rarely as favourable as those provided by foreign exchange brokers.
Hedging Solutions
Whatever happens in the currency market, the effect of this FX hedging is to remove your purchase from that market and freeze it so that the amount you pay in your home currency cannot change.
Future Purchase
You can use this method even if your purchase is not imminent – if you plan to purchase in the future, it’s still possible to arrange a forward contract that will fix rates for a couple of years in advance.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Fluctuating exchange rates which experience a sudden rise or fall can wipe out profits. An agreed price that involves different currencies does not stay the same, which means a contract drawn up on x terms can easily turn into one executed on y terms. Foreign exchange management seeks to correct this as far as possible
