Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After risk management and interest risk management in particular was primarily relevant for banks in the past, it is a crucial competition factor for all enterprises today. With increasing volatile financial markets and global competition CFOs are focusing more and more on an efficient measurement and management of interest rate risk. In this context this book aims to point out the risks of an adverse change in interest rates for a corporate portfolio of interest-bearing positions and show possibilities to measure and manage these risks. First the scene for interest risk management in a corporate treasury of a service enterprise is set by providing essential knowledge about financial risk management and giving an insight into the characteristics of a service enterprise as well as the responsibilities of a corporate treasury and the factors that influence the treasury risk management approach. This is followed by a process-oriented instruction of how to quantify interest rate risk and how to manage it. Besides the risk measures duration and convexity, two different approaches to value at risk, the historical simulation and the variance-covariance-approach, will be examined. For the management of the interest rate risk an overview of possible hedging instruments to reduce interest risk exposure will be given and their different strategies examined. All approaches will be measured against their practical feasibility and for both, the quantification and the management of interest rate risk, implications for the implementation in a service enterprise will be provided.

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.

This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 2,0, University of Portsmouth, language: English, abstract: Risk management has been pivotal banking activity, particularly for the last 20 years. Volatile economic conditions and ever‐growing competitive forces have compressed profit margins and forced UK banks to look up to sophisticated and more comprehensive methods of identifying optimal risk‐return positions. Advanced technology and global business focus has presented opportunities to utilize comprehensive quantitative techniques to contain and manage risk exposure. Technology has played crucial role in establishing and dispersing electronic trading platforms giving access to equity and derivatives hence reshaping capital acquisition and risk management frameworks. The topic of risk management has been even more contextual in times of severe economic/financial crisis. Analysts have not only been critical of banks’ uncollateralized lending but also of their excessive trading with derivative instruments. Assuming that no arbitrage opportunities exist, the question remains as to whether banks attempt to hedge their risk exposure or purely speculate on the direction of price movements. In this context, central task of this dissertation is to examine the role derivative instruments play in the UK banking system through aggregately assessing risk position of largest UK banks relative to aggregate trading volumes. Empirical analysis is conducted utilizing a two‐stage SUR technique. Results from first stage of empirical analysis confirm that risk premium on banks’ equity securities is strongly related to market risk premium. More importantly, findings illustrate that exchange rate exposure of UK banks has more significant impact on stock returns compared to interest rate risk exposure. Second stage of the analysis fails to provide comprehensive conclusion due and produces controversial results. Nevertheless, exchange rate derivatives are found to have impact on exchange rate risk albeit only marginally
