Treasury Solutions Spotlight
February 2021

FX Solutions
In this first Treasury Solution Spotlight of 2021, the spotlight is on vendors that offer an FX solution for Corporate Treasury. Orchard Finance will periodically publish a new Solution Spotlight for different Treasury topics.
With the recent spike in volatility in today's global markets, Corporate Treasuries are faced more than ever with increasing uncertainty and complexity. To mitigate this, it is important to have an infrastructure in place that enables and streamlines the hedging and trading process.
At Orchard Finance we have extensive experience with selecting and implementing FX solutions. For more information about our services concerning FX solutions, please contact Ariane Hoksbergen.
Please visit the event page on our website www.orchardfinance.com to find out more about and register for our (online) events and training courses.

Disclaimer: All spotlights are based on the input provided by the vendors.
Bloomberg FXGO
Bloomberg, the global business, financial information and technology leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. The company’s strength – delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology, quickly and accurately – is at the core of the Bloomberg Professional service. Bloomberg’s enterprise solutions build on the company’s core strength: leveraging technology to allow customers to access, integrate, distribute and manage data and information across organizations more efficiently and effectively.
Solution
Bloomberg's Foreign Exchange electronic trading platform FXGO is available on the Bloomberg Terminal. FXGO is a crucial tool for controlling currency exposure and risk, identifying market opportunities, and is used by the world’s leading asset managers, pension funds, corporate treasuries, government agencies and regional and global banks. Nearly a third of those who use FXGO and other Bloomberg FX products, do not consider FX their primary asset class. This highlights the fundamental relationship between FX and all other asset classes, and a key benefit of our comprehensive desktop solution.
FXGO covers all major FX products- spot, swaps, NDFs, outrights, deposits and options, for regulated and unregulated markets. As a disclosed, bank-to-client solution Bloomberg provides a distribution mechanism for banks that complements their relationship-based e-commerce strategies, while providing best execution and robust tools for buy-side clients.
