The Challenge
Clients demand best-execution FX that retail banking channels simply cannot provide, transparent, competitive, and demonstrably fair.
Stringent requirements for transaction reporting, client fund segregation, and audit trails that grow more complex with each jurisdiction.
Managing portfolio exposures and client holdings across multiple currency denominations requires institutional-grade tools and expertise.
The Aetas Solution

Client funds held in segregated accounts with full regulatory compliance, transaction reporting, and audit trail documentation.
Senior FX professionals available during all market hours, providing execution support, market commentary, and strategic hedging advice.
Case Study
Client
A UK asset management firm with £2.1B assets under management, requiring FX execution for client portfolio rebalancing across 8 currency pairs.
Challenge
The firm was executing portfolio FX through their prime broker, with execution costs averaging 18–22 basis points. Transaction reporting was manual and time-consuming, creating MiFID II compliance risk and operational overhead.
Our Approach
We implemented a segregated FX execution facility with demonstrable best-execution, automated transaction reporting, and a dedicated institutional desk. Execution was benchmarked against interbank mid-market rates with full transparency.
