FX Overlay with BNY Mellon

 

Currency hedging strategies help funds to mitigate currency volatility risk. Fund investors are becoming increasingly aware of this risk and are asking more questions about a fund’s currency hedging program. In addition, the execution, timing and capabilities around a currency hedging program can have a significant impact on the end investor’s implicit costs.

As international business continues to expand, an efficient and cost effective cross-border payment service is essential. Making foreign exchange payments can be challenging, but let BNY Mellon help you.

FX Program Trading desk provides you with transparent, rules-based currency execution, freeing you up to focus on your primary business goals.

 

All of our programmatic trading strategies benefit from price netting, meaning trades in the same currency pair, priced via the same program at the same time and in the same location receive the same base rate. FX Program Trading is also segregated from our FX Sales & Trading business, enabling us to execute your orders while minimizing market impact.

 

Our suite of non-discretionary trading solutions carry out your FX orders in a systematic fashion, providing you with low-touch means of gaining the passive currency exposure you require.

 

  • Session Range: Session-based trading is useful if you’re executing transactions throughout the day. Calculating a rate by considering the market range over a predefined time period, one rate is determined per session.
  • Defined Spread: For clients who want a more tailored execution program, defined spread enables execution of FX at a predetermined time during the trading day.
  • Benchmark: This program tracks a prescribed FX benchmark or index.
  • Bespoke Programs: These customized non-discretionary strategies can be designed to defined parameters you instruct.
  • FX Algos: Our range of FX client algos enable you to manage your currency exposure utilizing a number of algorithmic strategies.

As part of our ongoing commitment to further improve the sophistication of our offering, we've added enhanced swap and options trading to our product lineup.

 

We have also:

  • Established new onshore FX trading capabilities in South Korea and Latin America
