What do luxury car manufacturers and financial derivatives have in common?

More than you think.

Behind the sleek designs and powerful engines, leading car manufacturers are also using derivatives to keep their business on track.

Here's how they manage market fluctuations:

  • FX hedging to manage revenue from global sales.
  • Commodity hedging to stabilise jet fuel and raw material costs.
  • Interest Rate Swaps to optimise multi-billion-dollar financing deals.

Here's the part most people don't see: Every one of these transactions needs to be reported for compliance. That's where TRAction helps, making trade reporting smooth and stress-free.
