New episode of PROFIT/BMO Business Coach podcast unveiled today.
TORONTO, May 13 /CNW/ - While the rise of the Loonie is well received by
some companies and totally despised by others, there's one thing they can all
agree on concerning international currency markets: volatility is the enemy of
everyone. There is a way you can minimize currency risk if you're an importer
or exporter, and that's hedging. Join PROFIT editor Ian Portsmouth and Ron
Rylott, Director of Business Development, Foreign Exchange Products, at BMO
Capital Markets as they explain the art of currency hedging and answer the
following questions:- What is hedging?
- If many consider hedging risky, why do it?
- When should a company hedge its currency?
- Is hedging a popular method of foreign exchange management?
- Among those who don't hedge, why would they chose not to?
- What are the most common hedging strategies, how do they work, and
when are they appropriate?
- Is there any way to make the right "gamble" more often than not?
- How much does hedging cost and where do I go to start hedging?Rated as one of the top podcasts available for download during the run of
