• Done Your Derivative Due Diligence?

  Foreign exchange risk management involves mitigating currency risk to an acceptable level by understanding when and how to hedge using financial instruments or derivatives. In order to effectively use currency derivatives to achieve foreign exchange risk management objectives, firms must recognize their differences and similarities and how they work in practice.
