Understanding Knock-In Forwards

Writer's picture: Danny KinnearDanny Kinnear

A Knock-In Forward sits within the Protective Strategies group of hedging solutions.


Closely resembling the traditional outright forward, it delivers a protection rate that can be used to secure one’s budget rate.


However, unlike a forward which delivers currency solely at the agreed forward rate, it provides a degree of flexibility that allows for future rate improvement (participation).


This is a widely used alternative to forwards and is perhaps the most traded FX structured solution.


Whilst it can be configured in numerous ways, it is almost always offered to clients as a zero-premium solution.
