Pegged at home, exposed abroad.
Most GCC currencies are pegged to the US dollar. That brings stability at home, but it means the currency risk for Gulf-based clients sits in their international wealth: a London property, a European portfolio, UK school fees or a business selling into Europe.
Every move in sterling or the euro against the dollar changes the value of those assets and commitments.
- GCC currencies, their peg regimes and the fundamentals that support them
- Oil and energy markets and their macro impact on the region
- US monetary policy and its pass-through to Gulf interest rates
- Sterling, euro and other exposures common to Gulf-based clients
- Regional investment flows and geopolitical developments

Shariah-compliant hedging.
For clients who require it, we can discuss currency hedging built on Shariah-compliant structures, such as forwards based on the wa'd (unilateral promise), and arrange execution through partners that offer them.
The acceptability of any structure is ultimately a matter for your own Shariah advisers.
