Understanding and overcoming exposures to FX settlement risk

  |     |  

Increased volatility from global market events such as COVID-19, Brexit, and the US elections have highlighted that a disruption to the FX market – particularly the materialization of FX settlement risk – could cause panic in markets around the world. In this evolving macroeconomic and regulatory landscape, it has become even more important for buy-side firms to ensure their FX settlement protection is in place.
