An annual report bringing together asset owners, treasurers and asset managers to discuss how recent macro-economic events have shaped the market environment for foreign exchange hedging and created opportunities for foreign exchange as a return seeking asset.
Japan’s recent decision to bolster quantitative easing measures has bolstered once again the challenges asset owners and their managers’ face in effectively hedging FX risk. However, with a level of ‘normality’ returning to market cycles, sophisticated institutional investors are slowly turning their attention to their hedging mandates and examining ways in which to generate returns at a time of low yield in fixed income assets. With confidence in market cycles becoming more prevalent, currency investment strategies are also generating attention for their diversification, new source of returns and high liquidity qualities.
