Weeks, for a typical engagement
Fee agreed in advance, or a retainer where work is genuinely continuing
Share of notional. Never a share of the spread
Adviser. Specialists brought in named, only where the mandate needs them
The perimeter
These constraints are the product.
- We do not execute.
- We do not take positions.
- We do not sell product.
- We do not recommend individual instruments for a client’s investment book.
An adviser who also executes has an interest in the size and frequency of the trade. An adviser who warehouses risk has an interest in where the price settles. We have neither.
The perimeter also keeps the firm clearly on the advisory side of Nigeria’s regulatory boundaries. FinHedge Advisory is not registered with the SEC as a capital market operator, is not a CBN authorised dealer or primary dealer market maker, and is not an FMDQ dealing member, and performs no activity that would require any of those permissions.
On carry cost. Hedging a high-yielding currency is not free, and the forward points are not a fee we can argue away. We would rather set that out at the first meeting than have a treasurer discover it at the third.
The first conversation is a working session, not a sales call.
Bring the exposure, or the decision your board has in front of it. We reply within two working days with an honest view on whether we are the right people for it.
