Currency exposure management and hedging today is largely supported by software systems aggregating exposure on the one hand - the treasury management systems - and the provisioning of competitive market rates by trading venues on the other hand.
But there is a missing link. The process step which links exposure aggregation to the execution of a hedge contract on a trading venue remains a discretionary activity. The treasurer's decision how much foreign exchange exposure to hedge and at which rate till date lacked computational support.
CFOs of Large Cap companies know: Hedging is not as simplistic as entering into a hedge contract which mirrors an exposure 1-to-1. A 100% hedge may develop against a corporate over time and significantly hurt a company's bottom line. Optimizing hedge contracts is a cognitive human task which, in order to be automated, requires modern algorithms and scientific computing - such as hedge21, the cognitive machine and virtual assistant that is able to make optimal hedging decisions.
