Line 1: Line 1:
A 'buy-side' firm is a corporate or other customer of a 'sell-side' firm.
Simultaneously borrowing and depositing in two different currencies and dealing a forward foreign exchange contract between the same currency pair to cover the related foreign exchange exposure.


For example, a 'buy-side' firm might buy derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes.
Covered interest arbitrage activity normally results in the rapid alignment of the forward foreign exchange rate with the related interest rates, as predicted by Interest rate parity theory.
