Pros and Cons of our products
Pros:
Simple and quick, a spot contract is great if you need to make a payment immediately or if todays exchange rate is particularly good and you wish to take advantage straight away.
Cons:
You are limiting yourself to whatever the exchange rate is on the day you book your spot contract. This is particularly risky if you don’t have to settle an invoice or payment immediately - for example if your business has a 3 month period to settle an invoice; its not uncommon for exchange rates to fluctuate up to 5% in this period. By doing nothing in that 3 month period and waiting until the deadline to place a spot contract, your business is risking significant fluctuation and potentially paying more than what might have been budgeted.
Pros:
Great if you are risk adverse and want assurance over your upcoming costs. A forward contract provides certainty of your exchange rate over a period of up to one year. If your business has an ongoing payment to an overseas supplier or an upcoming large contract due to be paid in the future a forward contract allows your business to fix the exchange rate and allow you to budget effectively.
Cons:
Not the best option if your business is able to, and you are open to, withstanding fluctuations in the exchange rates. Currency fluctuations move both ways, therefore a forward contract protects you if your currency value goes down, however there is also the possibility that your currency value goes down- in this scenario your business is locked into an exchange rate that is lower than the current market value.
Pros:
Great if your business has time to settle a payment and you have a target exchange rate in mind. With an order in place you wont need to constantly watch the currency markets, you are safe in the knowledge that should the market reach your desired level your order will be filled and your targeted exchange rate locked in.
Cons:
There is no guarantee your order will get to the required level to fill, in this scenario you will therefore be forced to trade at a lower exchange rate than you originally targeted. In the event your order does get filled there is also the possibility that the exchange rate continues to move higher than where your order is placed at, meaning you are locked into a contract that is potentially lower than the current market rate.
Pros:
Great if you don’t want to be committed to an order but you still wish to be notified at a certain exchange rate. You then have the option to place a trade if you wish or adjust your level of exchange at which you want to be alerted.
Cons:
Not the best option if you are working within a volatile market. Markets can move very quickly, especially at particular times of uncertainty and volatility, therefore by the time you have acknowledged your rate alert the market may have already moved, leaving you unable to act on your alert if you wished to do so.
