Empowering
We want to empower our clients to feel confident when making decisions about their cross border transactions. Safe in the knowledge that the decisions they make are justified by in-depth analysis. Relying on numbers rather than emotions.
Accountable
Our team works tenaciously to uphold the standard of work we set for ourselves. Through honest and open communication we work to achieve our client, corporate and personal goals.
Passion
We love what we do and know that it matters. We are inspired by, and seek to inspire our customers and colleagues.
Our Origin Story
FX Engineered
Our beginnings derive out of a desire to create effortless cross border transactions. We found that the vast majority of those that are not expanding or investing overseas was due to lack of ability to be able to properly quantify, understand and execute their FX risk. We set out to change this.
Through proprietary and innovative technology we are able to explain the currency risk your firm faces, and effectively manage this risk through optimized hedging strategies and simulating their effectiveness. We then provide finance leaders and their teams with the tools to communicate these strategies with stakeholders and investors.
