Advantages of FX forward

What is a covered forward?

Covered forward is an FX purchase at a previously agreed and fixed exchange rate, where the client pays RSD funds (cover) on the closing date and receives the purchased FX funds on the agreed future date.

This product is also called quasi-forward or forward with cover.

Covered forward also provides a possibility to clients to agree on and fix the exchange rate for FX purchase on a future date, but it requires engagement and depositing of RSD funds immediately upon signing an agreement, which is not the case with standard FX forward.

In order to enter into a transaction, it is necessary to:



Open an account with Erste Bank    

Enter into a Framework Agreement

Risks associated with this financial instrument

The opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a falling exchange rate in the event of FX purchase or the benefits of a rising exchange rate in the event of FX sale is limited.

Change of a market exchange rate may lead to a decrease in the market value of the purchased financial instrument.

A sale of the purchased financial instrument may lead to additional costs, depending on the situation in the market.
