Who is this seminar suitable for?

If your business has direct exposure to exchange rate changes and interest rate changes, this seminar will be applicable. Hedging and strategy should then be of interest for you. We will teach you how uncertainty related to changes in exchange rates and interest rates can be mitigated. The course is suitable for those who work in corporate management, finance, sales and purchasing sectors, and who want to learn more about risk management.

The FX and Interest Rate Risk Seminar is divided into three sections. Parts I and II provide a basic understanding of the foreign exchange and money markets and the instruments that are used. We thoroughly review how prices are set in the market, fundamental and advanced foreign exchange and money market instruments and how to use the instruments.

Part III provides a practical introduction to risk management and the development of a financial strategy. You will learn how interest rate and currency risk can be mapped. We then work on developing financial strategy to manage financial risk in the company.
