WOCU® Bespoke Currency References

LONDON, January 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

WOCU Limited, supplier of the WOCU®, an independent, composite global currency unit, announces that bespoke currency references are now available.

WOCU Bespoke Currency References (BCRs) are now available, off the shelf, for fund performance benchmarking, and product creation. WOCU BCRs allow a fund customer, for example, to adjust for currency fluctuations which may skew portfolio performance.

A WOCU BCR has the same fundamental trust advantages as the WOCU with independently produced fixing reference prices and historical data. In addition to baskets such as WOCU BRIC and WOCU OPEC, WOCU Limited can rapidly construct any bespoke basket to order, to deliver these same benefits.

The WOCU is an independent, apolitical, elegantly constructed composite currency unit that naturally adjusts to the rise and fall in the prominence of its constituents; the currencies of the World's Top Twenty economies as measured by their GDP. The WOCU embraces the success of booming economies and reduces exposure to those that are struggling. It is entirely transparent, trustworthy and is based on real currency values.

Mike Blakey, MD of WOCU Limited said: "A client can pick its BCR, choose its weighting parameters and we can deliver it, instantly, independently and verifiably, slashing development and compliance costs."
