How it works

FX Options help businesses manage currency risk with flexible hedging tools. Depending on the hedging strategy adopted by you, you can be either the buyer or the seller of options.

By paying an option premium, buyers can use call options to lock in foreign currency rates, or put options to secure selling rates, without being obligated to trade. It is a strategic way to protect margins while maintaining exposure to favourable market moves.

By selling an option, you may enjoy additional income in the form of the option premium received up-front. Selling options generally entail considerably higher risks, when compared with purchasing options.
