Client Scenario
This client with a strong brand in the Textile and Fashion Industry has exposure in both Imports and Exports. They did not have a system of structured hedging and so neither were they able to extract the value they could. At this stage, we came on board as their advisor. We understood their future exposures, re strategized on the Risk Management Policy, and drew out a plan. We started hedging for our client seizing the opportunities in the market. Over a period they consistently made profits. We managed their exposure in such a way that they have profits booked for the future in their books.
Another area where they were facing a big challenge was to get fair rates while converting their FC at the time of taking PCFC. We worked with their team while they were negotiating with the banks, guided the team and also did capability building for the team so that the future negotiations with the banks would be in their favour. In this area too our client has saved extensively.
