After a long period of ultra-low and even negative interest rates, central banks have recently raised policy rates at a record pace. With Euribor rates having reached almost 4%, market rates now make up the bulk of total financing costs for many businesses, making interest rate risk management a very current topic once again. Money market rates can decline, but could also remain high for an extended period or even continue to rise. How can you manage this risk in the best possible way?
ICC has many decades of experience as an independent advisor, and we assist a wide range of European companies in managing and hedging their interest rate risks in the best possible way: from discussing strategy, benchmarking and improving pricing at your bank(s), to live transaction support. We are never a counterparty to transactions, are paid solely by our clients, and hold an AFM licence (Dutch Authority for Financial Markets) allowing us to advise about interest rate risks. ICC supports weekly derivative transactions (IRS, Cap, Collar, etc.), with notionals ranging from approximately EUR 10 million to EUR 500 million.
We are always happy to discuss which interest rate hedge is the most suitable for your unique situation, and are able to achieve substantial savings for you on your future interest expenses.
