Abstract
Most investors will be familiar with the concept of currency exposure, with constantly changing exchange
rates affecting the cost of investing in international securities. These same issues also affect companies
that operate internationally. So what effect do currency fluctuations have on company profits, and what
are they doing to insulate themselves? In this paper we examine this question. Firms can choose to
manage their currency exposure through business practices. Having a truly international company can
help with this as, theoretically, losses made when one currency falls will be recovered when another rises.
Where contracts are concerned business can also set up clauses that reduce this exposure. In many cases
this comes in the form of an agreement to protect the client and the company should exchange movements
exceed the agreed-upon level. Some businesses also agree on setting all contracts in their core currency,
protecting them from any exposure as they always are paid the same relative amount.
