Our services

Spot

Through our trading desk and in-house settlements team, we have round-the-clock abilities to execute spot-trades in multiple currencies. Whether you need a spot trade to settle for the start of the session in Singapore or Sweden, or the close of play in Canada or China, your dedicated dealer will keep you up to date on the latest fundamental data and technical analysis for all your requirements. Whether cleared funds are needed to meet an overseas payroll or your goods are not able to move until cash is on account, we understand that what we do has a real impact your business and we take that responsibility seriously. Our extensive panel of liquidity providers also ensures access to competitive pricing across major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
Market & Limit Orders

Working limit orders are a useful way of targeting higher rates of exchange. Through analysing trends and upcoming data points, we provide the advice, guidance and support for clients to place instructions that trigger contracts if levels are reached. This enables clients to take advantage of upside moves which may be temporary or occur outside of standard working hours. So whether it’s the opening bell in Auckland, or the New York close on a Friday night, we work orders to maximise value for you and your business.
Forwards

Whether you are looking to lock in a rate of exchange, hedge balance sheets or cashflow requirements up to five years out, our team focuses on developing a deep understanding of your needs to mitigate market risk. Our credit capabilities also enable our clients to better optimise their cashflow efficiency, helping you and your business to grow.
Swaps

Hamilton Court offers the advice, guidance and infrastructure to meet your swap requirements. Be that short dated or five years forward, rolling swaps to hedge portfolios, or a one-off to manage a liquidity mis-match, our team will work with you to ensure an effective solution is delivered.
Options

Our regulated structured products desk provides clients with a market-leading range of options and derivative structures to mitigate downside foreign exchange risk and participate in favourable market movements, or alternatively, outperform the current spot or equivalent forward rate. Our team combines our wealth of product knowledge with client requirements to provide an unrivalled service.

What our clients say

Before I joined my current Company I had never heard of Hamilton Court and I was a tad sceptical that you could add value compared to our relationship with the banks: HSBC, BNP, Barclays, Lloyds and ING, all of whom I have worked with in the past. After nearly 3 months, I have a totally different opinion, your contribution to developing my knowledge and understanding of these complex instruments has been tremendous, your proposed transactions have been first rate at meeting our hedging requirements and transaction execution has been delightfully efficient (something I rarely say).
