Forward Plus
Elimine el riesgo de cambio, aprovechando también los movimientos a su favor.
A Forward Plus is a strategy formed by the combination of two options with zero cost. It allows you to establish a fixed exchange rate, which will help you to take advantage of market situations more favourable than the fixed rate, up to a certain established level, known as barrier.
1. Importer
If your company imports in USD, you will have to buy a set amount of USD at a future date. Exchange rate insurance guarantee you a fixed purchase price, regardless of the evolution of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
On the other hand, a Forward Plus will enable you to take advantage of the increases of the contribution of the EUR/USD up to a certain level (barrier), in exchange for reducing the level of the fixed rate.
On maturity:
- If EUR/USD < fixed rate: you will buy at the fixed rate (covers unfavourable scenarios)
- If fixed rate < EUR/USD < barrier: you will buy at the market price (you will take advantage of favourable movements)
- If EUR/USD > barrier: buy at the fixed rate
The advantage of a Forward Plus is that you can take advantage of the favourable movement of the exchange rate
The Forward Plus can also be contracted with a constant barrier over time.
2. Exporter
If your company exports in USD, you will have to buy a set amount of USD at a future date. Exchange rate insurance guarantee you a fixed purchase price, regardless of the evolution of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
On the other hand, a Forward Plus allows you to take advantage ofthe lowered of the contribution of the EUR/USD up to a certain level (barrier), in exchange for increasing the level of the fixed rate.
On maturity:
- If EUR/USD > fixed rate: you will sell at the fixed rate (covers unfavourable scenarios)
- If fixed rate > EUR/USD > barrier: you will sell at the market price (taking advantage of favourable movements)
- If EUR/USD < barrier: you will sell at the fixed rate.
The advantage of a Forward Plus is that you can take advantage of the favourable movement of the exchange rate.
