Islamic Structured Forwards (Islamic Range Forward)

• Islamic Range Forward is a foreign exchange contract for the exchange of currencies at a rate which is determined by reference to the performance of the prevailing spot rate of the currency pair against a set of exchange rates (the “Range”) instead of a single fixed rate. The Range which is agreed with the Client and fixed upfront is made up of an upper limit (“Upper Strike Rate”) and lower limit (“Lower Strike Rate”). The applicable rate of exchange for a settlement date will be determined based on the spot rate at 2 p.m. Kuala Lumpur time on the Expiry Date (“Fixing Price”).
  
• If the Fixing Price is equal to or lower than the Lower Strike Rate (Fixing Price ≤ Lower Strike Rate), Client will exchange the Nominal Amount in one currency for another at the Lower Strike Rate with RHBIB on the Settlement Date.
  
• If the Fixing Price is equal to or higher than the Upper Strike Rate (Fixing Price ≥ Upper Strike Rate), Client will exchange the Nominal Amount in one currency for another at the Upper Strike Rate with RHBIB on the Settlement Date.
  
• If the Fixing Price is between the Lower Strike Rate and Upper Strike Rate (Lower Strike Rate > Fixing Price < Upper Strike Rate), Client has no obligation to exchange the currencies with RHBIB on the Settlement Date. However, in this last scenario, Client may choose to enter into a foreign exchange spot contract with RHBIB at the prevailing market rate subject to RHBIB’s standard terms.
  
• The Islamic Range Forward contract is constructed so that it provides protection against adverse exchange rate movements beyond the Upper Strike Rate / Lower Strike Rate while retaining some upside potential to capitalize on favourable currency fluctuations. It can be tailored as a zero-cost structure and if so, is generally used as an alternative to vanilla options which require a payment of premium.
  
• The Product:
  a) provides protection against adverse exchange rate movements beyond the Upper Strike Rate / Lower Strike Rate, while retaining some upside potential to capitalize on favorable currency fluctuations.
  b) may be used by Client to participate in the market rate when the Fixing Price settles in between the Upper Strike Rate and Lower Strike Rate;
  c) is a flexible structure which enables Client to match the payment terms of their underlying cash flow.
  
• The Islamic Range Forward can be structured into one or more tranches depending on the cash flows of the underlying obligations.
  
• This Product may be suitable for Clients who:

• are looking to hedge foreign currency exposures at a potentially better rate than the prevailing forward rate;
  
• understand the risks associated with this product and are comfortable to bear the risks;
