Managing currency risk for a company typically falls to the controller. Including this often messy and complex responsibility into an already demanding schedule can be difficult. Knowing the right course of action for your company and developing a strategy will depend on several factors. However, even a do-nothing approach is itself a strategy that should be articulated. Public companies often make decisions to hedge their currency risk because of the impact currency movements can have on share price volatility. Non-public companies have a little different calculus about the value of hedging currency exposure, whether to better manage budgets or earnings forecasts. We will look at how to measure currency risk and various strategies available to manage that risk, including futures, forwards, swaps and options.
