About AudereSave up to 85% on your Foreign Exchange transactions

Why Audere?

Traditionally, companies conduct their FX transactions directly with banks and brokers; who inturn market their services as "personal" "risk mitigating" and guaranteeing the "tightestexchange rates". However, this is often not the case; frequently Client trades are executed atuncompetitive rates and often with hidden fees.

How is this possible?FX is an extremely opaque market where information and rates can be manipulated. Essentially,there is a lack of transparency.

Solution?Audere acts as an independent FX advisor with additional control systems that ensure brokersand banks provide you with the most competitive rates each time you trade.

How does it work?Audere opens multiple accounts with its panel of partnering brokers. These brokers compete foryour business which reduces their margins and ensures you receive the tightest rates!

Audere’s exchange rates Vs. Banks and Brokers

Source: Real exchange rate can vary between providers; the figures of banks and brokers are based on worst-case scenarios Audere has seen during Client FX Audits.

Dealing with Audere Solutions is quick and easy. Clients are allocated a dedicated Advisor who offers strategic advice on how best to structure their FX requirements and navigate the complexities of the market

Services

Spot contractThe spot rate is the value of the asset at the moment of the quote. The trade is instant and provides Clients with complete flexibility on when to trade

Forward contract A commonly used tool in FX hedging. It allows Clients to fix the exchange rate up to 4 years in advance. A pre-agreed rate is used when the transaction goes through. This is suitable if Clients are not making payments immediately and protects against constant market fluctuations

Forward contracts are flexible, both in terms of the day you choose to transact, and how you chose to stagger your payments

Profit Order A ‘best case’ is set. If the currency rate moves in the Clients’ favour we ensure the brokers achieve your target rate both buy or sell-side

Stop loss order A ‘worst case’ rate is set. If the market moves against the Client we ensure the brokers buy or sell the currency to provide protection

One cancels other (OCO)An OCO is a combination of ‘take for profit’ and a ‘stop loss order’. If one is executed, the other is automatically cancelled. Clients set a favourable rate, but it provides the ability to set a worst case rate to protect currency position

Structured Products

Currency options Like forwards, options allow Clients to fix a rate for a date in the future, with the bottom line protected, and allows you to benefit from market movements in your favour

How currency options workOptions are divided into two categories: one where an upfront premium (fee) is paid and one without

With a premium A premium fee is paid upfront. With our advice, Clients decide on a worst case rate for a date in the future. The option allows you to benefit 100% if the market moves in your favour. How much often depends on the size of the premium paid out. Options with a fee provide more flexibility and freedom

Without a premium Clients do not pay a fee so the cost is included in the rate. In return, Clients receive some or all of the upside of market movements depending on transaction structure

Protection optionSimilar to forward contracts, a protection option allows Clients to set a worst case rate. Unlike forward contracts, Clients pay a premium that provides optionality rather than an obligation to buy at the worst case rate

Risk reversal Similar to a protection option, a risk reversal allows Clients to set a worst case rate for a premium (fee). It allows Clients to set a best case rate. For this reason, the premium is less and can often be reduced to nothing. If the market moves against Clients, they receive the worst case. If it improves Clients can benefit from the spot rate. If the spot is better than the base case, Clients receive the best rate

50% participating forwardParticipating forward does not require a premium but the worst case rate is less favourable than the forward contract rate. However, if the market moves in the Clients’ favour they benefit from 50% upside. The reason for not receiving 100% is because a premium is not included in the contract but you are still 100% protected if the market moves against you

Convertible forwardWith a convertible forward the worst case rate is slightly less favourable than the forward contract, and there is no premium. If the market moves against the Client they have 100% protection against the worst rate. However, if the rate moves in their favour, they can benefit from up to 100% of a pre-agreed barrier rate. If the market rate goes through the barrier rate then the contract reverts to the worst case rate

Ratio forwardThis currency option ensures Clients have 100% protection against the worst case market rate. This is slightly less favourable than the forward contract rate. However, if the market moves in their favour, they can benefit from 75% of the upside up to a pre-agreed barrier rate. If spot goes though this barrier the benefit drops to 25% as opposed to 75%.
