C8 Technologies is rolling out an FX hedging platform, which employs machine learning and statistical models, designed to assist firms with managing their currency exposures. 

C8 Hedge offers corporate treasurers and investment professionals “precise guidance” for developing customised hedging solutions and managing their foreign exchange exposures across multiple currencies.

C8 CEO Mattias Eriksson said: “Applying our systematic trading models to FX hedging through an intuitive platform that anyone can use allows corporates and funds to avoid the complexities they would otherwise face when they buy an asset or sell products overseas.”

“FX presents intricate risks that require a tailored approach, which is why we have designed the platform to allow users to easily craft customised FX hedging solutions that meet their exact requirements every time they need to handle foreign currency exposure.”

The platform can: calculate optimal FX hedge ratios for all currency exposures, both assets and liabilities; add risk weights for each currency exposure; calculate optimal FX ratios for each currency within a portfolio risk limit; use existing FX execution implementation; keep full control of all FX hedging with the user.

The C8 hedging platform is managed by Jonathan Webb, formerly head of FX strategy at Jefferies, and previously a portfolio manager and proprietary trader at a number of major banks. Webb said C8 makes managing FX exposure much simpler by automating the risk management process, offering users strategies to optimise outcomes while freeing them to concentrate on their fundamental business activities.

It’s not that Nvidia never disappoints, but it has come to feel like that recently. And since the Nvidia results, stocks do seem to have lost their mojo, in marked contrast to bonds. Read more →

C8 Weekly Bulletin: Trend Following

BY ROBERT MINIKIN
Central banks have had to act aggressively to contain inflation expectations - leading to an unwinding of excess global liquidity and divergent responses across asset classes.  A return to "normal" financial markets, with less policy support for asset prices and higher market volatility.  In this context, there is also new investor interest in trend-following strategies that exploit diverging market dynamics. C8 Studio contains both high quality trend-following indices and innovative combination technology. Read more →

Thoughts From The Divide: Reversals of Fortune

BY JON WEBB
Last week’s TFTD (“Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold”) referenced Goldilocks to illustrate the tightrope US markets were walking: an economy slow enough to keep bond bulls happy, but not so slow as might spook equity bulls. This week, we continue the bear theme, courtesy of Ernie Tedeschi, and what might be taken as a public service announcement from the BLS, reminding both policymakers and the investing public of the dangers associated with “rear-view mirror driving”. The BLS benchmark revision is usually too wonky to attract press attention. But this is an election year, so naturally the BLS misplacing 818k jobs was an irresistible opportunity for conspiracy theorizing on the platform formerly called “Twitter”. Read more →
