Interest rate changes will affect most firms because they will have interest bearing assets or liabilities. As a result, interest rate movements have an unfavourable impact and managing interest rate risk can be highly beneficial for the firm. But high-profile derivative blunders show that this is no easy task.
In Mastering Interest Rate Risk Strategy, Victor Macrae shows you how to avoid the mis-selling of derivatives and derivatives blunders and how to set up an optimal interest rate risk strategy.
Mastering Interest Rate Risk Strategy includes:
▪ Past derivatives blunders and how you can learn from them ▪ A proven analytical method for strategy formulation ▪ Hedging theory ▪ Bank financing for non-financial firms ▪ How movements in the financial markets may affect the firm ▪ Financial statement impact of interest rate risk ▪ The working and risks of using swaps, FRA’s, caps, floors, collars and swaptions
‘This is a wonderful and easy to read tour of interest rate risk and its management, and mismanagement. Anyone who wants to better understand why and how non-financial firms should be dealing with interest rate risk should read this book.’
Gordon M. Bodnar, Professor on International Finance, Johns Hopkins University
