About Our FX Settlement Cover

In unpredictable markets, settlement risk is a constant challenge. When clients fail to meet their contractual obligations on SPOT, Forward or Derivative FX trades, brokers are exposed. TMU Management provides FX Settlement Cover, an insurance solution that protects brokers from credit risk linked to unsettled transactions.

Protecting Brokers from Client Default

If a client is unable to settle an FX trade, particularly when the underlying position has moved significantly, the financial loss can be considerable. Our FX Settlement Cover is designed to protect against this risk, supporting brokers when client performance breaks down.

Our cover addresses:

  • Credit exposure due to client default or insolvency
  • Failed settlement on SPOT, Forward and Options contracts
  • Losses triggered by adverse market movement
  • Disruption to hedged positions caused by client non-performance

This list is not exhaustive and only serves as examples. Full cover and details will be included in your final insurance policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cover only for large FX brokers?
No. We work with both established brokers and smaller intermediaries. Our cover is tailored to fit your trading profile, counterparty exposure, and regulatory obligations. Whether you’re handling a large client portfolio or a niche book of business, we design solutions that scale with your needs.
How does this integrate with existing credit controls?
FX Settlement Cover is designed to complement your own processes. It works alongside margining, collateralisation, and risk protocols to strengthen resilience without interfering in day-to-day operations. Think of it as an extra layer of protection that activates when your internal safeguards are breached.
Does this policy meet regulatory expectations?
Yes. Our cover supports brokers in managing counterparty and settlement risk in a way that aligns with compliance and prudential requirements. It also demonstrates proactive risk management to regulators and counterparties, which can enhance your credibility and market standing.
What happens if market conditions change significantly?
Volatility is at the core of FX trading, and our policies are designed with that in mind. Cover can be structured to respond to scenarios where market swings amplify losses from client default. This ensures brokers can maintain stability even during periods of extreme market movement.
