Treasury

Our Treasury System has been designed to hedge against foreign currency risks, with orders being interfaced from the Sales System.  Currency rates can be established within the system, either manually or via a Reuters interface.  Currency rates established can be viewed on line and updated as required.

The following functionality or information is available through the system:

• The Net Position displays the net difference between all inflows and outflows for the currency.
• The Swap Position button creates a swap (spot and forward deals) in the Dealing page for the net position amount.  The forward leg defaults to a set number of days entered on the Settings panel, but can be overridden.
• The Square Position button creates a same day deal in the Dealing page that will bring the net position to nil.
• The Carry Overnight button creates manual cash flow entries to carry the net position forward to the next day.
