Is your FX hedging strategy doing enough for you?

Protect your profits from foreign exchange risk. Check out our free guide to learn about the most effective FX hedging instruments, useful resources, and mechanisms, like EDC’s FXG, to make sure you’re getting the most out of your FX hedging strategy without locking up your working capital.

Tell us about yourself:

All fields are required.

What are your total, annual sales?
Do you have experience doing business in any currency other than the Canadian dollar?
Foreign exchange (FX) contracts (aka "hedging") can guarantee currency exchange rates, but may require you to post collateral as security. Do you have experience with FX contracts that require your business to post collateral?
