Citizens Global Markets

With the challenges and uncertainties of today’s tax, regulatory and economic environments, companies need a financial partner who can help them navigate market conditions and better protect their businesses from currency and interest rate risk. Our dedicated Global Markets team applies their risk management expertise to deliver tailored solutions that help companies reach their potential.

Solutions

Foreign Exchange

To achieve sustainable growth, businesses often look to expand internationally. Unfortunately, global reach means businesses also face currency volatility and exchange rate risks. Our team can help you mitigate these risks and navigate cross-border commerce with the following solutions:

  • Spot contracts guarantee a conversion exchange rate between two currencies for settlement in one or two business days
  • Forward contracts guarantee a conversion exchange rate between two currencies for settlement beyond two business days
  • Option contracts offer the ability to protect the value of your foreign cash flows at customized exchange rates
  • Cross currency swaps effectively manage your debt to asset profile by synthetically creating foreign currency debt
  • Non-deliverable forwards provide risk protection in emerging market currencies that are highly regulated
  • Foreign currency accounts manage the collection of foreign cash flows and respond more effectively to changing market conditions

Interest Rate

With years of experience, our derivatives specialists collaborate with you to identify key interest rate risks and exposures. Through a thorough understanding of your objectives and risk appetite, we develop and structure customized strategies and offer solutions to mitigate interest rate uncertainty and efficiently manage funding costs.

Common interest rate risk management strategies include:

  • Existing Debt Hedging: Tailored derivative solutions and applications that convert floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt
  • Anticipatory Hedging: Create future rate certainty today and protect against rising rates on forecasted or anticipated financing
  • Tax-exempt Debt Hedging: Mitigate the risk of increasing municipal debt costs and impacts of tax reform
