The FX Problem

Does FX volatility impact your trade margins?

Most importers and exporters assume FX volatility is just a cost of doing business. It does not have to be. A 5% movement in EUR/GBP can wipe out the entire margin on a confirmed purchase order — before the goods have even shipped.

Whether you are sourcing materials from Europe, selling into the US, or paying suppliers across Asia, unmanaged currency exposure creates unpredictable costs, inconsistent margins, and budget uncertainty every quarter.

Jackson Swiss Partners helps mitigate that uncertainty — with bespoke hedging policies, institutional execution, and a structured process from exposure assessment to ongoing monitoring.

FX Impact on Trade Operating Margins

How It Works

Three steps to protected trade margins

A structured process from exposure assessment to execution — so every trade is protected before you commit.

Exposure Assessment

We map your full FX exposure profile — import costs by supplier currency, export revenues by destination market, timing gaps between order and payment, and the currency pairs driving your risk. You get a clear, quantified picture of where your business is vulnerable before we recommend any solution.

Currency Exposure Profile

Policy Design & Hedging

We design a bespoke hedging policy aligned to your trade cycle. Forward contracts lock in the exchange rate at the point of order confirmation — giving you certainty from purchase order through to invoice settlement, regardless of what the market does in between.

Forward Rate Lock — EUR/GBP

Execution & Payments

We execute hedges and international payments on your behalf — with institutional pricing, same-day settlement in 30+ currencies, and a full audit trail. Every trade is documented against policy. Every payment is tracked from instruction to confirmation.

Both Sides Protected

Import and export. Both sides hedged.

When you import: Sterling weakness increases your supplier costs. A confirmed purchase order at £0.86/EUR can cost you significantly more by the time payment is due if the rate moves against you.

When you export: Sterling strength reduces your revenue in sterling terms. An invoice raised in USD at £0.80/USD delivers less when sterling appreciates before your customer pays.

JSP hedges both sides: With policies tailored to your specific trade cycle, payment terms, and margin thresholds — ensuring neither imports nor exports carry unquantified currency risk.
