Treasury, working capital and trade finance

Companies trading between Switzerland and the eurozone carry currency exposure in almost every contract. We review cash pooling, intercompany funding, hedging policy and bank account structure, and we measure working capital line by line: receivables, payables and the inventory sitting in warehouses or in transit.

Geneva is one of the world's main centres for commodity trading and the trade finance that supports it. We advise traders and industrial buyers on letters of credit, documentary collections, borrowing-base facilities and receivables finance, and on the documents banks will ask for before they lend against goods.
