Policy Formation

Stop drafting hedging policies in Word. Walk a six-step wizard that captures style, period, horizon, preset selection, and reasoning, then outputs a structured policy with a monthly schedule that maps directly onto your forward exposure.

Once the policy is drafted, Policy Documentation turns it into a finished PDF for the board.

Your hedging policy, recommended in minutes.

Six-step questionnaire on exposure, risk, forecast, seasonality, financials and style. Out the other end: a board-ready policy with a recommended preset, four quarter-by-quarter bucket ratios, and the reasoning behind every line.

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 December and January, 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.

Quarterly Execution Schedule

Each quarter is hedged once, at its start, over a 12-month (4-quarter) window: the full quarterly requirement is covered up front, then topped up at the start of the next quarter. Coverage per quarter equals the selected hedge ratio. Quarterly requirement ≈ €4,500,000. Quarters follow your financial year (FY 2026/27: Apr 2026 to Mar 2027).
