Currency volatility can wipe out margin on international deals. CurrencyMate helps Canadian businesses measure exposure, build a hedging programme, and execute the plan with competitive rates and a dedicated dealer.

Types of FX exposure we help manage

  • Transaction risk — the gap between agreeing a price and settling in a foreign currency
  • Economic risk — long-term exchange rate shifts that affect pricing and competitiveness
  • Translation risk — converting foreign subsidiary results back into CAD for reporting

How we work with finance teams

  • Map where currency risk sits across payables, receivables and balance sheet
  • Design a hedging programme matched to cash flows, risk appetite and budget rate
  • Execute spot and forward trades at competitive institutional pricing
  • Regular reporting and reviews as your business evolves

Tools we use

A hedging programme typically combines spot conversions for near-term needs and forward contracts for known future payments. Layering forwards over 3, 6 and 12 months smooths out short-term rate moves without over-committing.
