General

The use of sophisticated financial instruments in commerce  has decreased. 

As a result, the general  understanding of these instruments and their uses has likewise diminished. This is particularly so in the South African context, where these instruments are, at times, regarded with suspicion by regulators.

  • Foreign currency transactions
  • Hedging activities
  • Derivatives
