FX IndexLink is geared toward portfolio managers who seek to minimize currency risk based on set parameters, rather than spot forex traders who react to intraday market fluctuations, according to Dow Jones.

For currency trades with FX IndexLink, BBH will “guarantee the benchmark rate or better,” according to the report, allowing fund managers to focus on equities.
