Corporate Foreign Exchange & Hedging

Your FX Costs More Than You Think.

Banks price their margin into the exchange rate, so it never appears on a statement. We show Canadian companies what their currency has been costing, and what it should.

§ I — The Cost

Where the cost hides.

i.

In the rate

A bank quotes one number. Its margin, often one to two percent, is inside it and never appears as a line item.

ii.

In the fees

Wire charges, intermediary deductions and the receiving bank's own conversion, each taken separately and each small enough to go unquestioned.

iii.

In the exposure

A payable booked at 1.35 and settled at 1.39 costs three percent before a rate is ever quoted. Unhedged exposure is the largest cost and the least visible.

§ IV — The Firm

An independent desk, on your side of the table.

Our mission

To give Canadian companies the pricing, counsel and hedging discipline in foreign exchange that the largest corporates take for granted.

Titan Exchange Group was founded in Toronto by two dealers with over forty years between them on bank corporate desks. They watched mid-sized companies move institutional sums at retail pricing, with no one on the other end of the line who knew their business. The firm exists to be that person.
