Why we recommend this

  • Vantex Capital’s €18M annual EUR/GBP exposure and high 6-month forecast accuracy support a layered, auto-executed programme.
  • Seasonal demand peaks in Q1 and Q4, so front-loaded bucket ratios protect the most exposed settlement months first.
  • A 50% average ratio retains spot flexibility while keeping principal FX risk on core payables contained.
