What is it about?
In an environment where price movement is becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain, it is vital that organisations are able to protect themselves against this uncertainty to remain viable and competitive in the market.
Using hedging techniques enables organisations to achieve price certainty and this not only produces peace of mind, but improves forecasting and budgeting.
The derivative market has been used very effectively to hedge underlying price risk, and this workshop will identify the different hedging instruments, explain their application given different market scenarios.
Hedging currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, and commodity price risk will be explained. Examples will be used to illustrate the implementation and resultant outcome of the hedging strategies.
