Ian Lewington, Chief Financial Officer, Tourism Holdings Limited
Tourism Holdings Limited (“THL”) which is publicly listed on the NZX with operations in New Zealand and Australia has been advised by Asia Pacific Risk Management since 2001 on treasury related matters including compiling a treasury policy, assisting in setting up and reviewing new bank facility documents, reporting format on treasury operations to the THL board, interest rate risk management, etc. They have always provided excellent and timely advice on hedging issues and trends in the market which I have found very helpful in managing THL’s risk profile around treasury matters. There service is professional and personal and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations.

We have used the services of APRM since their inception and have found their advice to be an integral part of our ongoing decision making when managing our FX and Interest Rate exposures. Regular meetings back up their weekly and special event advice. Their advice is customised to your entities’ treasury policy, is easily understood and they are always close at hand for discussion on any particular issues or concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend the use of their services to any entity with exposures to interest rate and foreign currency movements.
