Luxoft Tabs SuperDerivatives to Manage Currency Derivatives Risk
Luxoft announced it selected SuperDerivatives to handle the cross-border risks generated by its investments in currency derivatives through real-time pricing analytics and post-trade management tools.

“We searched for a service that would enable us to improve our ability to use derivatives to accurately hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies,” Luxoft chief financial officer Roman Yakushkin said in a statement.
“We now have a single service that allows us to plan a strategy and run an independent price check before executing a deal, to execute mark-to-market reports and to improve auditing and compliance one a trade is completed,” Yakushkin added.
