Abstract

This paper develops a new approach for evaluating FX management programs. It presents a value-maximizing strategy based on minimizing the probability of business disruption. It argues that such a policy is an appropriate objecting for a corporate FX hedging program and shows that minimization of the variance of the hedged cash flow is neither necessary no sufficient for an FX hedging program to be optimal.
