An Amortizing forward is based on similar conditions to those of a standard forward, and can be used in cases when it is difficult to define the exact settlement date and the volume of the individual transactions in advance. During the agreed period it is possible at any time to exchange currency at the agreed exchange rate, however the individual conversions need not be specified in advance, and can take place on any business day in the given period and at any amount up to the total value of the amortizing forward.
Conditions for securing an amortizing forward:
EXAMPLE
Exporter:
This client expects payments from international companies that have up to 12 months, i.e. by 31 December to pay EUR 100,000 for goods purchased. They agreed on a forward contract which gives the client certainty ahead of time on the exchange rate for which all currency conversions will be done by December 31 (forward exchange rate).
