Forex Advisory

Forex advisory services are offered in its purest form as advice to larger corporations that need to hedge, manage, or invest in foreign currency denominated assets.

However, with the expansion of forex as an investment and speculation form to smaller investors, nowadays advisory services are also offered to individuals.

To find the biggest foreign exchange advisory teams, look up advisory sections from the major bank’s trading floors. These forex advisory teams help corporations structure multi-currency bond offerings, hedge multinational cash flows with FX derivatives, and advise on multinational investment portfolios, for example.

In addition, for individuals, there are services that offer advice on trading calls. These services will send you either a newsletter with recommendations or, in the most straightforward form, alerts on signals that mean either that it is time to buy or sell a currency pair.

The research people can advise on all kinds of forex trading calls, from intra-day outlook to long-term perspective.

Furthermore, if companies need to use more complex transactions, they can ring the forex advisory services of these banks. No company does this as the first choice, however, as the advisory services cost a bundle.

Forex Advisory – For Individuals
