The WPU® Solution
The Wealth Preservation Unit® is an innovative currency basket mechanism that fundamentally reduces foreign exchange risk in cross-border development financing.
How It Works
The WPU® creates a stable unit of account by indexing to a diversified basket of major international currencies.
Currency Basket Indexation
The WPU® indexes bond obligations to a basket of major international currencies, smoothing out volatility from any single currency's fluctuations.
Balanced Risk Sharing
Both borrowers and lenders share in currency movements proportionally, eliminating the asymmetric risk that deters cross-border investment.
Volatility Reduction
By diversifying across multiple reserve currencies, the WPU® dramatically reduces the volatility that makes emerging market investment unattractive.
Transparent Pricing
The WPU Index Series provides a publicly available, independently calculated benchmark for pricing WPU®-indexed instruments.
WPU® Exchange Rate Index
Real-time WPU® exchange rate index versus major currencies. Base = 100 at series start.
