Content
Currency and interest rate fluctuations can cause considerable earnings volatility for companies. This has been proven to have a negative impact on the value of a company - in some cases even jeopardizing its continued existence.
In the course of the seminar, the process of market risk management is prepared in a structured manner. This involves identifying which positions are exposed to risk and analyzing how the risks affect the company. Different quantification methods are presented and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed in detail. Based on this information, it is possible to make well-founded decisions on the risk strategy and subsequently implement it. The potential impact of these risks requires a careful choice of strategy - also with regard to sustainable corporate management.
The seminars Interest rate risk management (1.5 days) and Currency Risk Management (1.5 days) can also be booked individually.
