Reduce your foreign exchange costs

"Add to your bottom line by reducing trading costs and risk while improving compliance with best excecution standards." Ian Toner, Director Currency Implementation

More choice + more oversight = better execution
Inattention to foreign exchange (FX) transactions can be costly. Our Agency FX Trading provides a sophisticated, cost-effective alternative.

Acting on your behalf, we:

 
  • Have the ability to obtain the best deal possible for you by working with a network of bank counterparties to execute and settle your currency transactions.

  • Assume operational risk for the operational tasks we perform.

  • Provide transparency and control, with comprehensive performance reports showing when the trade was executed, the market rate at the time of trading, and your true cost.

Our Agency FX services can be integrated into your international investment program, whether you handle currency needs internally or delegate them to your international managers.

We also offer:

 
  • Passive currency overlay service to help you design an appropriate hedging program. We will manage your FX exposures according to your preferred strategic hedge ratio.

  • Currency review service to analyze your current foreign exchange trades and report results and suggest solutions to you if we find uncompetitive results.

Russell Investment Group is a Washington, USA corporation, which operates through subsidiaries worldwide, including Russell Investments, and is a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.
