Study: FX hedging strategies

Publications

Companies have different business models and therefore at least as diverse structures in their cash flows. The requirements and motives for foreign currency management are manifold. The "optimal" hedging strategy depends on the objectives and the targeted optimization factors.

As part of an area-wide survey, we found out how companies operate in the DACH region.

In addition to questions about goal setting, exposure determination and hedging decisions, we asked participants to suggest hedges for a standard portfolio. This much in advance: our SLG Risk Engine remains unbeaten. Almost 100 companies anonymously participated in the study and shared their assessments with us.
