How to communicate to a board regarding hedging risk with derivatives

What messaging should be communicated to a board regarding hedging risk with derivatives?

  • Hedging is for preventing an existing risk from impacting earnings

  • Hedging is not speculation

  • Hedging is an exercise to manage market volatility

  • Hedging offers protection against undesired market fluctuations

  • Hedging is an activity taken on by institutions that are risk adverse

  • Not hedging is speculating


Being sure that a board understands what hedging is, and is not, is the first step in preparing them to make an informed decision about hedging.
