Types of Forward Contract

We'll advise you on the best solution for your needs and be completely transparent on pricing

Fixed Forward

A contract that allows you to secure an exchange rate for a single, fixed date for future settlement: there may be a benefit in the rate by choosing a fixed forward contract compared to the open or window variants.
Open Forward

A fully flexible contract that allows you to secure an exchange rate to use at any time throughout the contract period up to the final settlement date.
Window Forward

A contract that allows you to secure an exchange rate that can be utilised between two dates: there may be a benefit in the rate by restricting the window period compared to the fully open forward contract.
