Key takeaways
How forward contracts work
A forward contract lets you lock in today's exchange rate for a transaction that will settle at a fixed date in the future, protecting your margins from adverse currency movements.
Who should consider a forward contract
Businesses with predictable foreign currency cash flows — regular supplier payments, recurring customer invoices, or planned overseas investments — are typically the best fit.
Risks to be aware of
Because the rate is fixed, you won't benefit if the market moves in your favour after the contract is agreed. Early termination may also incur a cost.
