- With a more competitive price than traditional hedges.

Two hedging models with different possibilities
Hedges with no fulfilment obligation
With this type of hedging you pay an initial premium and are then free to take advantage of better market rates, because you have the right but no obligation. Here are some examples:
- CALL options.
- PUT options.
Hedges with fulfilment obligation
Combinations of different hedging options with a more competitive market price are subject to a fulfilment obligation.
- Forward plus
- Extendable forward
- EKOs
- AKOs
- Simple accumulator
- Leveraged accumulator
