Practical Commercial Advice, Four Ways.
Every engagement is tailored to your business — but our expertise falls across these core areas, each grounded in real-world experience and commercially focused from the first conversation.
Risk & Hedging
OTC strategies for FX, commodity, and rate exposure.
If your business earns, spends, or borrows in a currency other than NZD — or if your margins depend on commodity prices you can't control — you carry market risk. The question isn't whether to manage it. It's how. We advise on and facilitate OTC hedging instruments tailored to your business.
The outcome: You know what your margins are, regardless of where the market moves. You can price contracts with confidence, plan capital expenditure without second-guessing the rate, and grow without leaving your business exposed. Available to both agribusiness clients and growth-stage businesses across sectors.
What's Included
- FX forwards and options (NZD/USD, NZD/EUR, and other pairs)
- Beef and lamb schedule price protection
- Fuel and energy price hedging
- Interest rate risk management
