Hedging International Cash Flow


0

–          Management of a company’s foreign exchange exposure must comprehend the net exposure in each currency based upon a detailed comprehension of all monetary accounts.

–          Some counter-arguments to hedging exchange exposure are:

  1. Real assets in other countries will experience nominal increases in value as inflation increases and exchange rates move down in that currency.
  2. There are significant transaction costs to hedging.

–          Much of the complexity in deciding on and tracking the results of hedging is amenable to automation.

–          A newer security is the foreign exchange option. Allows the holder to sell (buy) foreign currency in the future, but also allows the holder to choose not to.

–          The cost of options are usually higher than a simple forward contract since the seller has weighed very carefully the odds of losing money upon the options exercise.

–          The purpose of the transaction plays a role; a forward contract to sell cash hedges exchange risk exactly, whereas an option actually creates a position that insures against a bad turn in exchange rates but retains the advantage of a beneficial movement.
