Swap Mis-Selling Vedanta Hedging has helped clients to review their existing hedging arrangements (typically an Interest Rate Swap or Collar) to ascertain if their Bank complied with all the necessary FSA Guidance and Rules. In some cases, Banks have encouraged or forced clients into inappropriate hedging instruments that have had significant costs for their business. We have direct and relevant experience from working in the Banks, to understand how and why these may have been mis-sold to businesses. We uniquely use our specialist pricing software to measure exactly how much excessive profit the Bank may have made in selling the original hedge to the client.

Making Derivatives Negotiable Vedanta Hedging enables corporates to truly understand and obtain fairer derivative based protection or 'hedging' from their Banks. Principally, this is to protect clients from Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange volatility. Whilst Bank's provide many products to help corporates manage these risks, corporates often have little ability to negotiate the pricing of these un-transparent 'hedges'. Vedanta Hedging gives clients peace of mind, that they have chosen the most appropriate solution for their business, at a fair market price.

Hedging Your Debts Businesses often feel that they have no control over their borrowing costs. They can however 'hedge' part of their debt (through their Bank), as part of overall Risk Management, to protect themselves from rising interest rates. These products can include Interest Rate Swaps, Caps, Collars, and many others. Vedanta Hedging will help clients to ensure that they are choosing the most appropriate solution for their business, and that the Banks will not try to make an excessive profit on the hedge.

Manage Your FX Risk Active Foreign Exchange Risk Management is often overlooked by Importers and Exporters, leaving them subject to the intense volatility of the Foreign Currency Markets.

Vedanta Hedging uses practical experience from working in Banks and have invested in the same real-time pricing software as the Banks, in order to achieve a greater degree of price transparency for the client.
