Currency risk management for production companies
Feb 02, 2010 - 04:13 PM
With budgets tight, more work originating overseas, in addition to production overseas, and the increased volatility in currency markets we have seen over the last 18 months, making the best foreign exchange arrangements is important to to the financial viability of a production.
We are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with one of the leading foreign exchange brokers in the UK, World First to help you plan how best to protect your productions from currency fluctuations. World First are focused on production companies, so they understand your business and can offer helpful advice up front e.g on the rate to use in your budget and then, if/when the production is confirmed, they can structure your funds to make sure you are protected against currency market movements.
The service can also save you money by providing better exchange rates than those offered by the banks (which can cost as much as 3-5% more). The banks may also charge transaction fees and receiving charges. World First will endeavour to provide you with the best possible exchange rates.
World First are already working with a number of APA members.
