Going from Good to Great in FX Risk Management
Co-Sponsored with FEI
March 20, 2012, 2PM EST
Chatham is pleased to co-sponsor with FEI a webinar on FX risk management. Many companies have spent the last decade building their FX hedging programs. Despite the investment of energy and time, there are still lingering feelings amongst senior management and boards that things could be done better. Why are there such feelings? Are they justified? How can treasurers take their risk management programs from good to great? How can they build confidence and trust with senior management? This webinar will cover how a handful of large corporations have developed new and sophisticated approaches to FX risk management. These approaches are giving companies unprecedented abilities to manage their risks comprehensively, holistically, and cost effectively. Adopting these approaches will require a deeper understanding of the intricate interplays and conflicts between different types of FX risks.
