There are 4 factors that define your currency risk- your “exposure” to any fluctuation in the market. Understanding these elements is crucial to understanding your currency risk and thus creating an effective strategy.
Timing – When do you need to exchange one currency for another? If you have a limited timeframe for exchange currencies, it can limit your choices to avoid currency risk.
The amount – How much are you exchanging? The more you need to exchange, the greater the potential risk and the greater the need to be correctly protected (hedged).
Margin – What’s your profit margin? The smaller your margin, the higher the need to monitor and manage your currency risk to prevent losses.
Forecasting – How accurately can you forecast? The accuracy of your forecasting will influence your currency risk strategy.
