Why hedging is so useful

Why hedging is so useful

When MGP hedges a currency for you against a different currency, we create a contract during the term of which you can buy or sell that currency at a guaranteed exchange rate without needing to pay the full value upfront.

Expertise. Data. And no fees.

Expertise. Data.
And no payment fees.

By bringing our extensive expertise, and the market-leading data with which we work, to bear on your specific objectives, we tailor a currency risk management strategy specific to you.

This adopts what we consider to be the optimal strategy, and utilises the most advantageous products in the market. We don’t charge a ‘fee’ for this. Instead, we simply incorporate this into the exchange rate - which will remain highly competitive.

“Before working with MGP we had partnered with several providers of currency exchange. The most frustrating thing was a lack of transparency around the margin being taken by the provider. The benefits I value most are transparency and the platform which is easy to use for simple spot trades.”

Benefit from our transparency

‘Forward Points’ are the adjustments added or subtracted to the current price of a currency to set its price for a future transaction. When we hedge for you, we show these to you so you can see how they are impacting your purchase costs.

Not everyone is MGP, however! As this can increase the profit from a trade significantly, lots of legacy foreign exchange providers keep quiet about these and use them to maximise their margin.
