Hedge Advisory Services Whether your lender requires hedging, or you want to protect your balance sheet, our range of Hedge Advisory services ensures execution of the right hedge, at a fair price, under fair terms, while establishing refinance flexibility and reducing interest expense. ISDA Negotiations Hedge documentation is often overlooked and misunderstood. Despite what you may be told, the ISDA is negotiable. We negotiate more favorable terms for you, and we coordinate the process with both the lenders’ and borrowers’ councils. Dodd-Frank Compliance Recent regulations place new requirements on borrowers. GMEI, LEI, Daily Mark to Market, KYC, AML, and ECP — the acronyms keep growing. Our Regulatory Advisory Services cut through the jargon to keep you in compliance and produce the best hedging outcome. Hedge Accounting While aiding those who hedge to reduce earnings volatility, the complexity of the ASC 815 (FAS 133) accounting rules leave many financial officers confused.
