Whilst many people speculate in the financial markets, we know it is important to have a Treasury Policy in place covering all aspects of financial risk. This should include clear guidance on whether you are willing to accept the risk or transfer the risk through hedging. This will also give clear guidance and responsibilities to all involved.
