A checklist for currency concentration reviews

Steps to evaluate currency concentration without making performance promises.

Currency concentration reviews are about understanding exposure, not predicting outcomes. A structured checklist helps ensure you capture the basics:

  1. Document base currency for each account.
  2. Identify USD-sensitive revenue or expense streams.
  3. Note holdings with embedded currency risk.
  4. Compare exposure to spending needs and liabilities.

Use this checklist as a starting point for informed discussions with your advisory team.
