EXPOSURE NETTING
Method of hedging currency risk by offsetting exposure in a single currency with exposure in the same or another currency. It aims to reduce a firm’s vulnerability to exchange risk perils. This is especially applicable in the case of a huge company, whose various currency exposures would be administered as a single portfolio, since it won’t be possible and practical to hedge every currency exposure individually. Its exposure netting strategy depends on numerous factors such as the currencies and amounts involved in its payments and receipts, corporate policy on hedging currency risk, and connections between several currencies to which it has exposure, among others.
