This section contains all our foreign exchange jobs ('FX' or 'forex'), including sales, trading, structuring and investing. FX jobs can be found in investment banks, trading houses, asset managers, hedge funds, commercial banks and corporations (companies). Within companies, corporate treasury departments manage the organisation's exposure to changes in exchange rates.
Essentially, the aim of forex jobs and money broker jobs is to predict how economic factors and / or government intervention cause currencies to rise in value (appreciate) or fall in value (depreciate) against one another.
The focus of FX traders within investment banks is normally on trading currency pairs, the most common of which are: the US dollar and the Japanese Yen; the Euro and the US dollar; the US dollar and the Swiss franc; and the British pound and the US dollar.
"Spot trading" makes up a large proportion of FX trading. This is where currencies are bought and sold for immediate deliver. Equally, however, a significant proportion of FX trading jobs involve derivatives such as futures - products in which contracts agreeing to trade one currency for another for a specified price at a particular point in the future are exchanged, as well as swaps and options. Most currency derivatives are highly liquid and traded on major exchanges. However, FX derivative products are also traded over the counter (OTC), bilaterally, between individual buyers and sellers without going through exchanges.
The majority of FX trading takes place electronically using electronic execution platforms meaning banks and corporate clients are able to place foreign exchange trades online, without having to go through actual human traders.
Sales jobs and careers in FX are generally divided into different client types. For example, some salespeople will concentrate on selling FX products to hedge funds. Others will aim their attention at the sale of FX products and electronic trading systems to private clients, asset managers, pension funds or corporates.
This section also contains our money market jobs. Money markets are markets for short term fixed income investments of under one year. Products traded in money markets are very liquid and can typically be bought and sold quickly and easily. As a result they're considered very low risk and similar to cash. So-called money market funds invest in products such as government bonds. However, in a climate of sovereign debt defaults these may prove far less safe and liquid than they're supposed to be.
Money market jobs can include, for example, repo trading roles, in which holders of government securities sell them on to a counterparty, but agree to buy them back for a specified price at an agreed date no more than 30 days in the future.
