Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities

RMB Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) has a team of skilled specialists and dealers who provide a comprehensive range of treasury risk management solutions to a select client base. Our teams operate in South Africa, Africa, the United Kingdom and India.

We know our clients face myriad risks every working day but RMB FICC offers solutions to protect a full suite of financial market risk.

Interest rate risk

Changing interest rates can reduce your investment returns or increase your borrowing costs.

Currency risk

Fluctuating exchange rates can increase the domestic costs of running your business, reduce your earnings or affect the value of your offshore assets.

Liquidity risk

Short-term cash flow problems without access to bridging finance can push your company to the brink.

Commodity risk

Unforeseen changes in prices could affect your earnings or increase your input costs especially within the commodities space.

Credit risk

Changing credit spreads can reduce your investment returns or increase your borrowing costs.
