FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about Foreign Exchange Risk & Hedging

What is foreign exchange risk?

Foreign exchange (FX) risk happens when you do business in a foreign currency and the exchange rate changes before the transaction is complete. That could mean earning less (or paying more) than expected when converting back to Canadian dollars. FX risk management helps protect your business from these fluctuations.

How can I manage FX risk, and what are the benefits?

Managing FX risk starts with having the right hedging strategy in place. PulseFX works closely with your bank or institution to build a tailored approach that fits your exposure.

Key benefits include:
- Predictable cash flow in volatile markets
- Protected profit margins
- Safer international sales and cost forecasting
- Improved budget accuracy

What is FX hedging and why should I consider it?

FX hedging reduces your exposure to currency movements.
There are two main approaches:
‍
Natural Hedging: Structure your operations to offset currency inflows and outflows—like earning and spending in the same currency.
‍
Financial Hedging: Use tools like forward contracts or options to lock in rates. PulseFX advisors can help determine which approach fits your business goals and risk appetite.
