Hedge Fund Awards 2015 www.acquisition-intl.com 57 The Global Macro Team’s high level process helps ECU to formulate its “big picture” global investment roadmap from which all the company’s products and services derive their individual bearings. At ECU, we have drawn together both the people and the products to work with our clients, in partnership, to help steer them through a very different economic and political world order. To preserve one’s wealth over time, consideration needs to be given to the best long-term currency strategy. The global economy and financial markets have undergone dramatic changes over recent years. Actions and reactions have culminated in the single largest financial and eco- nomic crisis since the Great Depression. At the same time, longer term structural changes (e.g. globalisation, technological advancements, demographics and the geopolitical balance of power) are taking place which will exert persistent pressures on econ- omies and financial markets, especially currencies. The resultant oppor- tunity for profit and loss over coming years is likely to be considerable. It is our profound belief that global investors face growing investment challenges brought on by a marked increase in market volatility going forward. Accordingly, a competent and effective currency risk manage- ment strategy is more important now than ever before. After a quarter of a century of refinement and the evolution of technolog- ical systems, we have been able to develop some of the most versatile global macro and multi-currency products and services ever witnessed in the financial arena, giving international trading companies, investors and borrowers alike the opportunity of using the world’s largest financial market to their distinct advantage. n The ECU Group plc is authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
