What is Hedging?
Hedging is the concept of protecting oneself against price movements that are outside of your control. Throughout the supply chain, companies utilize hedging strategies to mitigate these risks and become price agnostic.
Hedging is often viewed as a highly technical subject where middle and back-office staff lack a deep understanding. As a result, organizations are losing money, missing opportunities, and dealing with staff turnover.
Through an easy-to-follow comprehensive book, on-demand or interactive courses, the Perfectly Hedged program simplifies and explains hedging so your team can obtain, and retain, knowledge vital to the long-term success of trading firms and their staff.
From new starters to seasoned employees, Perfectly Hedged will provide them the confidence to apply this knowledge in their daily work and add immediate, tangible value to their organization.
