How Claydon Partners
can help protect your
bottom line
There are many reasons why businesses engage in international
money transfers. Whether your business is paying for imported
goods, receiving payment for goods or services sold abroad,
paying overseas staff, repatriating overseas earnings, or simply
buying an asset or making a one-off purchase, we can help.
Transferring international funds at the right time is critical. It’s
all about effectively managing your currency requirements and
avoiding unnecessary risk.
We offer our clients dedicated guidance on a range of bespoke
strategies to save them both time and money on their
international transfers. These include providing specific solutions
to get competitive exchange rates on the day, or reserving
favourable rates for future purchases.
Spot contracts
A spot contract involves exchanging currencies at the current
market rates for immediate settlement.
Forward contracts
A forward contract allows you to fix an exchange rate for up to
12 months ahead. The currency can be delivered earlier or later
than the agreed settlement date, either in full or in multiple
payments, by drawing down from the initial lump sum.
This can be a practical solution for planning anticipated
payments and a good way to protect margins and eliminate
any cash flow uncertainty due to market volatility.

Value-added services
We understand that buying currency is not always a matter
of buying at the best price but trading at the right time. The
currency markets can be volatile and, without careful
management, even routine exchange rate fluctuations can
negatively impact your company’s profitability.
If you want to protect your bottom line, we can help you to
take a proactive approach to managing your foreign
exchange exposures by implementing specialist risk
management solutions.
Rate watch
A rate watch allows us to monitor the markets on your behalf
and then contact you when a predefined level is achieved.
Limit orders
A limit order is an automated order to buy or sell currency at
a predetermined ‘best case’ exchange rate, which, if achieved,
will automatically fulfil your instruction. A limit order can be
useful if there is flexibility on the timing of your trade and is
used to enhance profit margins.
Stop-loss orders
A stop-loss order is an automated order to buy or sell currency
at a predetermined ‘worst case’ exchange rate, which, if
achieved, will automatically fulfil your instruction. It is used to
protect bottom-line profit margins and costing levels.
Market orders in combination
By knowing the best and worst acceptable rates, a limit order
and stop-loss order can work together by ‘ring-fencing’ the
market to minimise your risk.
Regular overseas
payments
Many companies have
to make smaller,
recurrent foreign
currency transfers,
perhaps to meet
import or export costs,
pay royalties or
manage a payroll. Bank
transfer fees can be
punitive for businesses
making high numbers
of small international
transfers. With Claydon
Partners, your business
can transfer any
number of payments at
competitive exchange
rates and on a fee-free
basis.
Bulk payment
processing
With our bulk payment
processing service,
you will be able to
execute multiple
payment instructions
simultaneously in
different currencies to
different countries
and beneficiaries. This
service will allow you
to save money and
reduce the workload
required to process
them.
