Book excerpt: The first comprehensive compilation of hedging analysis--at a time when hedging is becoming a very important and active field. Offers material not easily available to the vast majority of hedgers. Foreign currencies have become volatile, and it is essential for all companies doing business in more than one currency to protect themselves. The authors cover the basics of exposure detection and management, including accounting considerations, at a level understandable to practitioners. They then develop the concept of technical hedging, both theoretically and practically. Of the three major types of hedge, two are shown to offer potential for profit in addition to their protection as hedges. Explained for the first time is the timing of foreign exchange hedges using technical modeling. Includes hedging case studies and a corporate hedging survey. Its refutation of the random walk and econometric models may irritate classical economists.

Book excerpt: � Fully updated version of text formerly used for training by BPP � Diagrammatic representation of deal structures, pricing, and modeling � Full glossary of terms � International perspective, examples in US$ � Clear logical explanation of processes, markets, and products This manual explains the techniques for identifying and covering exposure to adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. It provides practical examples of transaction, translation, and economic risk and shows how a hedging strategy can be arrived at. The hedging strategy will depend upon whether the attitude to risk is adverse, seeking, or neutral. This book examines these attitudes in turn and compares these hedging methods through worked examples. Also included is an analysis of accounting and tax implications. This expansive new range of risk management texts has undergone extensive re-writing to give each book in the series an international perspective. Each explains and analyses core aspects of risk assessment and management in a way invaluable to students and useful to practitioners. All of these titles adopt a practical and clear approach to their subject. All are fully updated versions of a series of books previously produced by training experts at BPP.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, foreign exchange now impacts the corporate world as never before. Hedging currency risk - usually through the interbank network - is now a routine treasury function. However, midsized companies (up to $100 million in annual sales) are often shut out of the interbank market because of cost and minimum size requirements. Currency Risk Management: A Handbook for Financial Managers, Brokers, and Their Consultants shows how to capture this business - from the basic concepts of foreign exchange to prospecting the corporate client. The author writes in an easy-to-read style and shows the finer points of foreign exchange and various exchange regimes recognized by the IMF. The reader will learn why exchange rates are a matter of government restrictions and controls as well as market price discovery.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the benefits from hedging the currency exposure of international investments in single- and multi-country equity and bond portfolios from the perspectives of German, Japanese, British and American investors. Over the period 1975 to 2009, hedging of currency risk substantially reduced the volatility of foreign investments at a quarterly investment horizon. Contrary to previous studies, the paper finds that at longer investment horizons of up to five years the case for hedging for risk reduction purposes remained strong.In addition to its impact on risk, hedging affected returns in economically meaningful magnitudes in some cases.

Book excerpt: The volatility of European currency rates after a period of relative stability has brought a new focus to foreign exchange rate exposure management issues. Corporations of all sizes source & sell in overseas markets & compete both at home & abroad with foreign companies. As a result, derivatives such as currency swaps, futures & options, which came into common use just over a decade ago, have become a permanent fixture. Corporate treasury departments concerned with foreign exchange are working less as independent units & are more involved with business unit managers. The researchers surveyed the foreign exchange practices of 22 corporations to illustrate the best practices for the benefit of companies of all sizes in a variety of industries & to highlight the most important issues for the corporate financial officer. Glossary & bibliography included. Excellent supplementary reading for courses in international business & accounting. Order from: Professional Book Distributors, P.O.
