SIREN FX gives asset owners and asset managers the transparency and tools they need to improve their decision-making in respect of the execution of their investment related foreign exchange activity, and instruct their executing banks accordingly, while achieving compliance with industry codes of conduct.
SIREN FX offers a fully transparent, lower-cost alternative to existing FX benchmarks, by providing a path to validate what the true costs are in execution, making it a compelling solution for asset owners and their asset managers, who have struggled to meet their fiduciary duty to ensure adequate transparency under Principle 9 of the FX Global Code of Conduct.
By undertaking a SIREN savings study a fund can make a comparison between total execution costs paid using the 4pm fix and what it would have paid had the SIREN FX benchmark been deployed.
Once a clear and transparent understanding is established the trustees of the fund will have the vital data to hand for decision making purposes to protect the fiduciary integrity of the fund.
