FX Risk Management and Corporate Valuation: A Key Driver for Private Equity Investors
We make a persuasive case for recognising the implications of FX risk on financial performance. A prudent FX hedging approach can be a strategic value driver, reducing cash flow volatility, improving planning, and optimizing working capital.
We outline the value of a netting program for many facets of treasury management. Step by step, we cover the challenges and benefits a multinational might see. We show examples of bilateral and multi-lateral netting, and how these approaches are used.
While a true natural hedge is a rarity, correlations within baskets of currencies on a multi-currency balance sheet can uncover opportunities often overlooked. We look at a real-world example of how recognizing these correlations can help reduce risk.
