Example: Hedge Policy Framework

Two hypothetical policy scenarios showing how a treasury framework translates exposure into a hedging plan.

UK Exporter - $20M Annual USD Revenue

Exposure Profile:

• $20M annual USD receivables
• Average 90-day payment terms
• 15% gross margin (very sensitive)
• 10% GBP/USD move = 150bps margin impact

Policy Response:

• Hedge 100% of invoiced receivables
• Hedge 70% of signed orders (pre-invoice)
• Hedge 40% of committed pipeline (6-month forecast)
• Use forwards (certain) + collars (uncertain)

In this scenario, the layered policy protects the large majority of margin while leaving a small, deliberate residual exposure, rather than hedging everything or nothing.

UK Importer - €15M Annual EUR Purchases

Exposure Profile:

• €15M COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)
• 60-day supplier payment terms
• Budget set at 0.8500 EUR/GBP
• 5% adverse move = budget overrun

Policy Response:

• Rolling 12-month hedge programme
• Layer €1.25M monthly for 12 months forward
• 100% hedge on purchase orders (committed)
• Weekly reconciliation: hedge vs actual orders

In this scenario, the rolling programme replaces a single unpredictable spot rate with a smoothed, budgetable average, removing the guesswork from planning.
