CPE Webinar Invite: Balance Sheet Hedging Program Overview FX Initiative cordially invites you to attend our webinar on Balance Sheet Hedging on Thursday, March 11th 2021 at 11AM Pacific / 2PM Eastern. Join us and learn how to hedge FX receivables & payables and mitigate FX gains & losses. This Balance Sheet Hedging webinar will teach you how to hedge foreign exchange (FX) receivables and payables to mitigate FX gains and losses on the Income Statement. We will begin by defining the concept of a balance sheet hedge, and explore why is it often viewed as the foundation of many corporate FX risk management programs. We will break down the impact of how FX receivables and payables, which are known as underlying positions, produce FX gains and losses on the financial statements from mark-to-market accounting treatment. We will then explore how to offset those underlying FX gains and losses on the Income Statement by hedging with forward contracts to reduce periodic earnings volatility. Finally, we examine best practices for optimizing balance sheet hedges by considering details such as accounting booking rates, netting of exposures, and adjusting hedges as balances change from cash inflows and outflows. Learning Objectives Discover the concept of a foreign exchange (FX) balance sheet hedge program. Recognize how FX receivables and payables impact the financial statements. Explore how forward contracts can be used to mitigate FX gains and losses. Identify best practices for optimizing and adjusting balance sheet hedges. Who Should Attend?

FX Strategy Simulation: Forward Contract FX Strategy Simulation - Forward Contract: To put the concept of a forward contract into practice, this foreign exchange (FX) strategy simulation uses the FX Derivative Speculator to demonstrate the economics and accounting of a foreign currency forward contract using the default accounting treatment to help reinforce the following two points: The functional currency value of the forward at any point in time is equivalent to the difference between the forward rate on the contract and the then prevailing forward rate in the market. The interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair determines the forward point premium or discount applied to the spot rate to compute the "all in" forward rate.
