Why it is important

Is Currency Risk Management worthwhile?

One of the most common misconceptions about Currency Risk Management is the that it stands apart from your normal business activities.

Sartori & Co believe nothing could be further from the truth and here’s why. The true purpose of any kind of financial advice is to support you in achieving your overall goals. Just as Financial Planning advice helps you set, model and progress through your life goals, Currency Risk Management advice provides a similar framework, but within a business context.

Traditionally companies have used a set and forget approach where long-dated, fixed rate instruments are used to focus entirely only on protecting against losses and thereby providing no opportunity to benefit if the currency moves in a favourable direction.

But as the business landscape has become increasingly competitive, this approach can lead to loss of market share and a reduction in competitive positioning. At the extreme, these transactions have also resulted in significant losses. For those in highly competitive industries, the solution is a portfolio of currency transactions specifically selected to take advantage of a variety of currency movements and outcomes and designed with each business’ specific goals in mind. And as a result, mitigating your potential risks.

If one of your goals is to grow your business (and whose isn’t) then a Sartori & Co designed and implemented risk management strategy will be an integral element in your ongoing success.
