Client Story

Fully Automated FX

The Brief

After manual processes designed to convert non-base currency trade receivables became inefficient and prone to error, a multi-billion-dollar alternative asset manager sought an automated, scalable, and cost-effective system for converting incoming euros and sterling balances into U.S. dollars across multiple funds.

The Engagement

MUFG Investor Services’ FX Overlay team deployed a cross-border taskforce to quickly assess, build, and implement an automated FX conversion and hedging solution with minimal disruption to the client’s ongoing activities.

The Outcome

Any incoming cash receipts in non-base currencies were automatically detected, converted, and hedged in real time, without manual intervention, through integrations with MUFG’s MFX platform. The system also streamlined the client’s cash swap workflows, triggering precise hedging adjustments.
