Our core services

Why work with JCRA

Founded in 1989, we have a proven track record of excellence focused on client service.

We own our own equity which provides us with the independence to provide unbiased advice in the best interests of our clients.

We pride ourselves in the design and implementation of bespoke hedging instruments to hedge the interest rate and foreign exchange exposures of our clients. The hedging instruments are comprised of derivative instruments such as Swaps, Collars, Caps, Swaptions, Currency Swaps, Currency options and outright forward contracts.

We provide innovative and impartial debt finance advisory services which are individually tailored to the unique circumstances of each client and situation.

We recognise the value of our clients’ time, and money and so we treat each of them as unique customers with individual commercial needs and objectives.

Our success in offering a totally impartial consultancy service can be measured by the fact that around 80 per cent of our business each year results from repeat business from existing clients and that a substantial proportion of our new business emanates from referrals from those clients.

The pricing of hedging instruments is not transparent and a crucial part of the service that we provide is to negotiate with the banks in order to reduce the margins silently charged on hedging instruments. This ensures that our clients can be confident that they have achieved fair pricing.
