Non deliverable forwards (NDFs)

Manage exposure to currencies where a deliverable forward may not be available. An NDF allows you to agree a forward rate without exchanging the underlying currency at maturity, making it particularly relevant for certain emerging-market currencies.

The graph shows a rate which is locked in and an option to use a more favourable rate if the currency moves in the business' favour.

Options

Protect against unfavourable currency movements while retaining the potential to benefit from a more favourable market rate. Options offer greater flexibility than traditional Forwards but may involve a premium and more complex structures.

Important: Options involve both potential benefits and risks and may not be suitable for every business. Depending on the structure, they can also involve additional costs.
