By Dominic Sow · 7 March 2025
Deaglo, a leader in FX risk management and FinTech innovation, unveils the first-ever FX Assistant, an advanced AI-driven solution that revolutionizes FX risk management for banks and businesses. The FX Assistant is built on Deaglo’s cutting-edge analytics platform, leveraging real-time pricing data from KACE, Fenics, and top-tier market sources. Designed to elevate the FX sales process, hedging execution, risk management, and improve employee productivity, the FX Assistant provides instant trade recommendations, exposure analysis, and seamless execution support, facilitating faster and smarter FX decision-making.
“For the past four years, Deaglo has served as a crucial bridge between our clients and execution partners by assisting on over $10 billion in FX hedges,” said Ashley Groves, CEO of Deaglo. “Our vision has always been to supercharge FX management through technology, and with the rise of AI, we’ve been able to accelerate that goal faster than ever and solve more FX problems for anyone contemplating a global transaction. With the FX Assistant, financial leaders can now hit FX goals with 10 times faster insights.”
The FX Assistant democratizes access to advanced analytics for FX professionals. Using machine learning, constrained optimization, and AI, it simplifies complicated analytics for users with varying levels of FX knowledge, generating thousands of intuitive and actionable reports, such as forward efficiency and margin simulations, in over 60 currencies in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
“When it comes to FX risk management, no bank, spreadsheet, or individual is capable of processing more than two parameters,” said Paul Stafford, CTO of Deaglo. “That’s where the FX Assistant comes in. It is a bespoke solution that uses advanced mathematical models to optimize up to nine parameters for building hedging strategies, adjusting risk exposure, and generating real-time insights. Additionally, the FX Assistant uses pure mathematics to give CFOs and end-users an objective opinion that delivers the best outcome for clients.”
