Optimization

The currency investment for the optimization of your returns.

DOCUs open up attractive alternatives to your equity or cash investments and have a potential return above that offered by time deposit investments. These products give the investor the opportunity to profit from a sideways-tending underlying foreign currency. The high interest payment compensates for the risk of the potential delivery of an alternative currency on expiry.

Main benefits at a glance

  • Potentially higher returns than with a traditional money-market investment.

  • Attractive investment in sideways-tending markets.

  • Fully customized solutions offering a high degree of flexibility (in the choice of underlying, maturity and yield).

  • Foreign exchange and precious metals can enhance your portfolio diversification.

  • Risk/return profile can be optimized by choosing the appropriate strike.

  • Also available with conditional capital protection (Appearing and Disappearing DOCUs).

The foreign exchange market

In relation to volume traded, the foreign exchange market is the largest market in the world. It is characterized by high liquidity and transparency, as well as low correlation to the stock or bond market. The foreign exchange market is therefore not only ideal for hedging currency risks, but also offers interesting investment opportunities that are ideal for portfolio diversification.
