The Art & Science of FX Risk Management FX risk management can be viewed as both an art and science. This means that the results of currency risk management practices can be measured quantitively like a science, but determining what constitutes good or bad results requires qualitative analysis like an art. There is no single prescription for managing foreign exchange risk, and each organization must decide their risk management objectives, as well as the best approach towards achieving those objectives. An excellent example of this concept is a Foreign Exchange (FX) Risk Management Policy. A formal written FX Risk Management Policy lays out a plan with clear parameters and guidelines for managing foreign exchange risk across the enterprise. However, the specific strategies for hedging specific exposures often requires subjective day-to-day judgment that falls outside the scope of the master Policy. As a result, treasury staff of multinational corporations typically know what they are trying to achieve, but struggle with how to achieve it. FX Initiative's Currency Risk Management Training addresses both the quantitive science and qualitative art of FX risk management. From drafting a formal Policy using our FX Risk Policy Drafter to modeling real world scenarios using our FX Transaction Simulator, our training walks you through common approaches to goal setting and then shows you how to achieve those goals using derivative insturments. The ideas that are discussed will help you see how a world-class organization such as Apple is able to set high level objectives as evidenced in their 10-K, and then accomplish those objectives using the judgement of their highly trained personnel. If you are interested in learning the benefits of training your personnel on both the high level objective goal setting and day-to-day subjective decision making involved in foreign exchange risk management, sign up and take the FX Initiative today. You can use our FX Risk Policy Drafter to create a formal written policy, and then leverage our FX Transaction Simulator to customize specific variables that reflect your actual exposures to determine if you are able to achieve the FX hedging objectives you desire. Our video based curriculum puts academic theory into practice, and can help you and your team excel at both the art and science of managing foreign exchange risk.

“If You Don't Invest in Risk Management…” “If you don’t invest in risk-management, it doesn’t matter what business you’re in, it’s a risky business.” This quote from Gary Cohn, the current Director of the National Economic Council and the former Chief Operating Officer of Goldman Sachs, highlights the important role risk management plays in achieving business success. When it comes to international business, the reward of expanding into new markets and capturing greater profits tends to be the primary focus. However, managing risk, and in particular, foreign exchange risk, is an equally important endeavor when venturing abroad, because if not managed properly, rewards can be diminished. The following introduction video to the "FX Risk Management" course addresses the two main learning objectives that are covered throughout this highly informative hour long educational program, which include (1) to recognize the role personnel, operations, and resources play in the establishment of a foreign exchange risk management program and (2) to explore the nine essential components of a comprehensive formal foreign exchange risk management policy.
