Globalisation is driving more sophisticated investing and trading techniques. Combining share, currency and commodity exposures around the world can enhance investment returns and increase trading opportunities.

Whether looking at stripping the currency exposure from overseas share investment, simulating a “carry trade”, gaining exposure to a basket of commodities or engaging in relative value (“pairs”) trading, investors are increasingly using the global reach of CFD’s to customise trades and exposures.

With these new trading rights comes a responsibility to ensure that exposures are suitable and manageable. The issue of leverage in multiple exposures is simple but extremely important.

This highly informative seminar examines the “why” and ‘how” of some popular strategies and importance of controlling leverage in global exposures.
