Foreign Currency Risk Management

Hedge fund-level and event-driven risks with strategies optimised and implemented by our specialist team.

Helping market participants manage currency exposure with confidence

Foreign exchange movements can materially erode performance, adversely impacting valuations, investor returns and net profitability. Validus quantifies how FX risk affects fund performance and designs tailored, data-driven currency risk management strategies that are both effective and efficient.

We work closely with fund managers, institutional investors and corporates to identify FX exposures, model potential impacts and manage them through a combination of advisory expertise, execution capability and specialised technology. Independent and product-agnostic, we act solely in our clients’ best interests.

We serve as an extension of our clients’ teams, combining deep market insight with purpose-built technology to deliver clarity, control and confidence across global currency exposures.

Our goal is to help deliver more predictable outcomes to investors and other stakeholders.

Size

As the largest provider of fund-level hedging services to the private capital market, Validus brings visibility and experience that few can match. Our scale gives us access to real-time pricing trends, market behaviours and peer insights across regions and asset classes. This perspective enables clients to benefit from informed benchmarking and a clear understanding of where value lies in a rapidly evolving FX landscape.

Insight

The FX market is unpredictable, but informed decision-making is not. While we remain market-agnostic, the Validus team continually monitors macroeconomic trends, interest rate dynamics and volatility indicators. We distil what is relevant for each client, offering clear, actionable data driven insights on how market conditions may shape strategy, performance and future outcomes.

Expertise

We focus on identifying opportunities to reduce risk, minimise liquidity drag and lower hedging costs. Our advisory team combines quantitative analysis with deep sector knowledge to develop practical, effective solutions tailored to each client’s investment profile. Intelligent hedging can materially influence fund returns, and we approach this responsibility with precision and discipline.

Dependability

A hedging strategy only creates value when it is executed well. Validus manages the full operational lifecycle of FX hedging programmes, including ISDA negotiation, onboarding, multi-bank pricing, execution oversight, confirmations, settlements and regulatory reporting. Our structured, transparent process reduces operational risk and ensures accuracy and compliance at every step.
