SIAA Foreign Exchange case studies

The SIAA Foreign Exchange credential is a professional certification for practitioners who price, trade, sell, hedge, or oversee foreign exchange products. Candidates typically come from bank treasury and sales desks, corporate treasury functions, asset managers, brokers, and compliance or operations teams supporting FX activity. The exam tests working knowledge rather than academic theory: how the market is structured and who the participants are, how spot rates are quoted and read, how outright forwards and FX swaps are priced and used, how currency options and structured products behave, and how interest rate parity, cross rates, and arbitrage hold markets together. It also covers hedging practice, regulatory and ethical standards, settlement and operational risk, and client suitability and documentation. The SIAA Foreign Exchange case studies are 5 cases and about 3,012 words.
