Financial Market Risk Management

Protect and enhance your Company’s cash flow against Foreign Exchange, Commodity Price, and Interest Rate fluctuations.

Get in touch

All businesses can be affected by fluctuations in financial markets, and the best approach to reduce the impact is to identify risks early and take a proactive approach.

Gaining clarity on your risk exposure can help to:

  • optimise annual budget rates
  • understand the extent that various internal exposures offset one another
  • stress-test how a business policy performs in various macro-economic environments
  • assess how to manage long-dated exposures
  • drive change in your organisation to reduce impact of future risk.

Rochford’s decades of experience navigating financial markets are invaluable for achieving a robust risk management strategy for your business.

Why work with us?

We employ financial modeling techniques that present risk on unhedged exposures, while subsequently highlighting the impact (or potential lack thereof) of existing or prospective hedging policies.

Our tried-and-tested strategy includes:

Identification

Taking a deeper look at your budgets and ERP system to identify all material risks to your business, including market, economic, and operational exposure.

Measurement

Quantifying your risk exposure and potential impact to your commercial objectives, cash flow and earnings.

Management

Applying financial modeling techniques and optimising your in-house Treasury function as a whole, to protect and enhance cash flow in the future.

Monitor

Maintaining a proactive oversight of your company’s risk to ensure a rapid alert and response to future-developing risks.
