premium translation
fidestra brings its expertise in the field of financial translation; the company is the result of 12 years of experience in translation, with over half of this in the economic and financial sector.
The diligence applied in carrying out the projects assigned to the company, in addition to the specialist training courses taken, have allowed me to develop knowledge and expertise of financial topics, winning the trust of prestigious institutional investors with considerable influence on the markets.
A sharp eye for detail and an analytical mind adeptly combined with digital tools: fidestra consistently guarantees you a high-quality financial translation that conveys all the subtleties of your original document’s message.
advanced post-editing
Machine translation may seem an attractive proposition from a financial point of view. Feeding content through an online engine and having it reviewed by a professional who is not necessarily a translator can be quick and inexpensive.
Although incomplete, the result may seem sufficient for an overall understanding of the text. However, the quality is not good enough to publish the document, and the risk of errors is far too high for those who want to seriously stand out from the pack.
What’s more, have you considered the fact that the confidentiality of content entered into online translation engines is questionable, to say the least? In fact, there’s no telling what might happen to content entered into these online engines. To counter this, but also to tackle the increasing volume of content for translation and to reduce costs, major groups with considerable financial power have invested to develop their own internal neural translation engines. Created by companies specialising in automated language processing and fed with high-quality internal content, there is no disputing that these engines perform well. In addition, they guarantee the confidentiality of the data.
fidestra is at the forefront of this development and has been working with this type of solution for three years; a similar project is planned for 2023.
consultancy for writing and adapting
As English is considered the lingua franca of global finance, it is not uncommon for anglicisms to populate the texts of even the largest financial institutions.
fidestra offers you a professional and sharp eye for writing and revising your texts so that they have the desired impact with potential investors.
sustainable and responsible finance
The issues underpinning sustainability, such as social and environmental responsibility, are now vital in all facets of society, and finance is no exception.
Nowadays, the world of investments can be boiled down to three letters: ESG, namely environmental, social and governance.
Coupled with the need for publication mentioned earlier, this triptych pushes financial market players in the broadest sense, whether proactively or under duress, to report on the sustainable or green profile of their funds, products, investment vehicles, etc., always with a view to attracting capital.
Not translating means abandoning your chances of reaching a wider audience and markets in need of sustainable products, taking into account ESG criteria.
In the world of economics and finance, there is a growing need to publish reports, brochures and factsheets as well as editorial content, videos, etc. pertaining to the responsible activities and investments of industry players.
The reason for this obligation is the increased regulatory pressure, implemented by the proliferation of texts, requirements and initiatives governing the matter in the EU, in Switzerland and on a global scale: respectively the SFDR and Taxonomy, FinSA, the Paris Agreement, the Global Compact, the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the OECD regulations.
While this obligation to publish additional information establishes greater transparency, there is an accompanying commercial imperative: to better inform private, professional and institutional investors in order to attract their capital. Now, the best way for a company to inform its prospects and target groups is without a doubt to know and speak their language, and therefore to have these publications translated.
