Fund Manager
Managers of other liquid underlying investments - most
obviously equities and bonds - are likely to be familiar with
currency through their international investing activities.
There is often a client or marketing objective in offering hedged
share classes; in such cases we are happy to offer our Hedging services on an
expert and fiduciary basis.
Managers of funds that invest in illiquid assets - including
real estate and private equity - may find that 'structural' routes
to hedging - i.e. borrowing in the currency of the assets in which
the fund intends to invest - are less readily available than was
the case historically. In addition such funds are also
limited in their ability to enter into traditional hedging
instruments - in particular forward foreign exchange contracts -
due to uncertainty over their ability to meet cashflows as they
fall due. In such cases we can develop a long-dated currency
hedging program that limits the maximum cash drawdown to levels
agreed with the client in advance.
