Download or read book Exchange Rate Exposure Hedging and the Use of Foreign Currency Derivatives written by George Allayannis and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the use of foreign currency derivatives by Samp;P 500 nonfinancial firms during 1992-1993 and the potential impact on exchange-rate risk. The extent to which firms use foreign currency derivatives is positively related to the ratios of foreign sales to total sales and total foreign trade to total production. Including these factors substantially reduces the explanatory power of variables previously found to be important in a firm's decision to hedge foreign currency exposure. Firms also use foreign debt as an alternative to or in conjunction with foreign currency derivatives, although to a smaller extent. Similarly, the level of foreign debt use is positively related to the ratio of foreign sales to total sales. Consistent with a risk-reduction motive to use foreign currency derivatives, we find that the use of foreign currency derivatives significantly reduces the exchange-rate risk that corporations face.
Download or read book Currency Risk Management written by Gary Shoup and published by Global Professional Publishi. This book was released on 1998-10-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, foreign exchange now impacts the corporate world as never before. Hedging currency risk - usually through the interbank network - is now a routine treasury function. However, midsized companies (up to $100 million in annual sales) are often shut out of the interbank market because of cost and minimum size requirements. Currency Risk Management: A Handbook for Financial Managers, Brokers, and Their Consultants shows how to capture this business - from the basic concepts of foreign exchange to prospecting the corporate client. The author writes in an easy-to-read style and shows the finer points of foreign exchange and various exchange regimes recognized by the IMF. The reader will learn why exchange rates are a matter of government restrictions and controls as well as market price discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 77.00, University of Westminster, course: Finance and Accounting, language: English, abstract: This article summarizes the motivations behind the reason why many corporates use (currency) options for risk management. Firstly, the paper would generalize the term of Financial Derivatives and how they benefit investors. Furthermore, it review a great deal of previous scholar works done on the field of risk management by corporates and on general options. In addition, the following case study of the company named ABC using a protective put strategy in order to hedge its investment in BCA is explored in both situation of increase and decrease in share price in order to understand how companies manage risks. Even though options can be an effective tool that helps companies be successful in grow their firm values options can also become worthless due to a minor modification of share price.
Download or read book The Impact of Corporate Derivative Usage on Foreign Exchange Risk Eposure written by Aline Muller and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper not only determines why individual firms use foreign currency derivative but investigates also what effects this derivatives usage has on the foreign exchange risk exposure of 471 European non-financial firms. We find strong evidence in favor of the existence of economies of scale in hedging and show that European firms engage in hedging programs in response to tax convexity. Results tend to support financial distress motives to hedge, but no evidence is found in favor of agency costs related motives. Whereas the degree of international involvement strongly determines the magnitude and significance of a firm's exchange rate exposure, it appears that large firms benefit from the diversification of their foreign operations and are to a greater extent capable of implementing operational hedging strategies. Our findings show furthermore that European firms use FCDs to hedge - and not to speculate -. The statistically weak effects these hedging strategies have on firms' currency exposures reveal, however, that European companies are hedging only a small proportion of the currency risk they are facing.
Download or read book Exchange Rate Risk Management written by George Allayannis and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a large sample of East Asian nonfinancial corporations, firms using foreign currency derivatives had distinctive characteristics, such as larger size and foreign debt exposures. Unlike in studies of U.S. firms, there was only weak evidence that liquidity-constrained firms with greater growth opportunities hedged more. Firms appeared to use foreign earnings as a substitute for hedging with derivatives, and to engage in "selective" hedging. There was no evidence that East Asian firms eliminated their foreign exchange exposure by using derivatives. And firms using derivatives before the crisis performed just as poorly as nonhedgers during the crisis.
