"Without protections, volatile currency rate movements can turn a profitable deal into a dead loss" ... John Price
Large number of Indian companies lost money while dealing with exotic derivatives that have known in and knock out features. A few companies based in Tirupur, the textile capital of India, almost lost their hard earned net-worth over decades. The companies alleged misspelling and sought relief from the courts. Axis Bank vs. Rajashree Sugars is a case study that brings out how these transactions were structured.
Managing currency fluctuations is critical for organizations operating in a global economic environment. The role of a Treasurer is no longer one of the functions carried out by the accounting team of a firm, but a function that requires expertise and top management involvement and monitoring. Financial markets are continuously evolving, and new products, new mechanisms of operating introduced often. It is important that a finance manager keeps up to date with all the developments in the international financial markets and uses new and innovative products to effectively manage the firms' foreign exchange exposure.
