Developing a foreign exchange risk management toolbox Director Dialogue with ASB

Overview

Often Foreign Exchange is thrust upon us as the business grows beyond our shores or seizing opportunities to develop new markets is the next logical step. Many business owners are self-taught in the ‘art’ of Foreign Exchange risk management and getting caught by avoidable pit-falls can be costly. Likewise, delegating these important responsibilities can be daunting.

This session will debunk a few myths, share some best practice tips and tricks and attempt to tease out what’s most important to your organisation and how we can put some discipline around this.

We’ll deconstruct some basic FX products to assist your understanding of the building blocks of derivatives. Come prepared to share your experiences and enjoy an interactive workshop style session.
