Currency Hedging

Intus Currency Hedging Service is intended for Euro investors who would like to benefit on the higher returns currently available for investment products in US Dollar (USD) and UK Pound Sterling (GBP) but not to take any currency risk. If you, as an Euro investor, would like to invest in USD Intus will cover for you the currency risk between the start and maturity date of the chosen investment product. In case the exchange rate of EUR would have fallen towards USD at the maturity date we will pay the currency loss to you. This includes also the coupons or dividends received during the investment term.

Typical investment products which offer good returns in USD and GBP but not in EUR are various Capital Protected Investment Products with 4-6 years investment term. These products are issued by major international banks with high credit ratings. We have a large selection of Capital Protected Products in their offering, you can find more details here.
