Identifying Interest Rate Exposures
Without a clear understanding of interest rate exposures your company can run a significant risk. The two main sources of interest rate risk arise from
- Borrowings
- Cash investments
You should consider your positions by examining a series of 'what-if?' scenarios to determine your sensitivity to possible rate movements. Would an increase in rates from 2% to 4% in the coming six months to a year be favourable or unfavourable to your company. Once the risks have been identified you need to consider the range of products available to develop a suitable hedging strategy.
