Currency Hedging
Hedging
Turn currency uncertainty into a managed business decision.
Foreign exchange markets move every day. For businesses operating internationally, those movements can affect revenues, costs, margins, cash flow and investment returns.
Currency Hedger helps businesses and investors understand their exposure and develop practical strategies to manage the impact of currency movements.
Hedging is about managing risk — not predicting the market.
Currency hedging is a financial risk-management strategy used to reduce the potential impact of adverse exchange-rate movements.
Rather than relying on where a currency might move tomorrow, a business can use appropriate FX instruments and strategies to create greater certainty around future currency requirements.
Understand the different ways hedging can help manage risk.
Hedging requirements vary depending on your business, investments, markets and underlying exposure. Explore our specialist guides to understand how different forms of hedging can be used to manage financial risk.

A currency exposure does not have to be large to affect commercial decisions. The longer an exposure remains unmanaged, the greater the uncertainty surrounding its eventual value.
Protect Profit Margins
Exchange-rate movements can change the underlying cost of international purchases and reduce expected margins.
Improve Cash-Flow Planning
Greater certainty around future currency requirements can make budgeting and financial planning easier.
Protect Overseas Revenue
International revenues can change in home-currency terms when exchange rates move.
Manage Supplier Costs
Businesses purchasing goods or services overseas may face increased costs when currencies move against them.

Entering new markets introduces new currency exposures. Hedging can form part of a broader international risk strategy.
