How we work

A three-step engagement, built around independence.

01

Counterparty audit

We review your current FX arrangement end-to-end. Pricing, products, credit terms, platform, and operational fit. You get a written assessment of what's working and where value is leaking.

02

Structure and introduce

Where the audit identifies gaps, we introduce FCA-regulated counterparties suited to your treasury policy and risk appetite. They compete on merit. You pick the relationship that fits.

03

Ongoing intelligence

Markets move. We stay close, providing tailored macroeconomic intelligence, execution reviews and a standing second opinion on structure, hedging and counterparty performance.

Products

The full suite of corporate FX products,
through a single independent relationship.

Why independence matters

Banks and brokers execute trades. They don't audit themselves. Scolt Head Markets has no inventory to shift, no spread to protect and no conflicting incentive.

We review your existing arrangements, identify where the pricing or products fall short, and introduce you to FCA-regulated counterparties who will compete on merit for your business.

Our partners

A network of execution partners, selected on merit.

We don't work with one counterparty. We maintain relationships across FCA-regulated execution partners, matching each client with the provider best suited to their volume, currency pairs, product requirements and credit profile. Every partner we introduce has been independently vetted for pricing transparency, regulatory standing and service quality.

Common questions

Straight answers before
the first conversation.

What does an independent FX review involve?

Scolt Head Markets benchmarks your current counterparty's pricing against the wider market, reviews your product coverage, and identifies where you're overpaying or underserved. It takes one conversation to start.

What's the minimum FX volume?

£1m annual volume. No upper limit. Scolt Head Markets works with corporates across natural resources, manufacturing, international groups, funds, family offices and logistics operators.

How does Scolt Head Markets earn its fee?

Scolt Head Markets is paid by the execution partner, not by you. The incentive is to place each client with the counterparty that fits best, because that's what keeps the relationship intact over time.

Who we work with

Corporates with real FX exposure,
and the sophistication to demand better.

Natural resources

Commodity producers and traders with USD revenue and multi-currency cost bases. Hedging at scale, in size, with credit.

Manufacturing

Exporters and importers managing margin volatility across supplier contracts and long-dated receivables.

International corporates

Groups with overseas subsidiaries, intercompany flows and repatriation mandates that need structure, not just execution.

PE & funds

Fund-level FX for subscriptions, distributions and portfolio company hedging. Independent of the house bank relationship.

Family offices

Multi-currency wealth management, cross-border property, and long-horizon forward structures with flexibility to match.

Logistics

Freight, shipping and supply chain operators with high transaction volume and a constant need for sharper pricing on routine flows.
