Case Study: a large London-based alternative investment company achieves greater FX liquidity and flexibility with AQMetrics

Top-tier Hedge Fund Selects AQMetrics for Global Compliance Requirements

AQMetrics worked with a large London based alternative investment company managing a flagship private debt fund with more than US$100 million in FX exposure. The firm needed to protect investor returns from currency fluctuations, preserve liquidity in a difficult market, and avoid disrupting existing provider relationships while using monthly rolling forward contracts for hedging.

AQMetrics provided a tailored FX hedging facility with a fully uncollateralized zero/zero arrangement, competitive rates, fast onboarding, historical rate roll capability, and a CAD$10 million unsecured short-term liquidity facility. The result was quicker access to hedging and capital with no initial margin or margin calls, improved liquidity management, and a relationship that expanded to three additional funds, with plans to add more currencies and referrals to other opportunities.
