Conceived in 1996, formulated and calculated since 1/1 2000, the Wocu was officially launched on January 1st 2010.

The Wocu is based on a basket of currencies that are qualified by the success of their economies - and not on politics, history or geography - its major claim, that it exhibits lower volatility than its components, has already been proven.

This, and the formation of the independent WDX Institute, has accelerated the acceptance of the Wocu and has prompted leading professional financiers and economists to subscribe to programmes that keep them in tune with Wocu developments.

As Howard Flight, a pre-eminent author of the Forex book "All you need to know about exchange rates", said at the introduction event the Wocu is "an important moment in the history of currency".

We think so too; and the current volume of discussion about currency issues will lead you to agree with us.

Whatever your business, if you trade internationally, the Wocu's global reach and lack of volatility are sure to be of interest - keep in touch with this important new financial instrument to access new developments such as interest rates, forwards and futures by registering today.*
