How to quantify the REAL cost of poor FX risk management.

Not policy.
Not theory.
Actual P&L impact.

Here’s a simple scenario:

- Annual FX exposure: $10M
- Adverse currency movement: 8%

Base impact:
= $800,000 loss

But that’s rarely where it ends.

Because in practice, the REAL losses come from ex*****on failures.

1.Timing inefficiency
(Late hedging. Reactive ex*****on. Delayed decisions.)

Just 2% slippage:
+ $200,000

2. Hedge ineffectiveness
(Misaligned tenor. Volume mismatch. Over/under-hedging.)

If 25% of exposure is poorly covered:
+ $200,000 leakage

3. Liquidity impact
(Unplanned funding. Working capital pressure. Higher cost of funds.)

+ $150,000

Total estimated impact:
≈ $1.35 MILLION

Here’s what many teams underestimate:

These losses are rarely visible in one place.

They’re fragmented across:
→ FX revaluation losses
→ Margin compression
→ Cashflow volatility
→ Increased financing costs

Which is why they often go unchallenged.

This is the real issue:

FX risk management is not just about exposure.

It’s about:
- Timing
- Structure
- Liquidity alignment
- Decision discipline

The gap between a reactive treasury function and a strategic one…

…is often measured in MILLIONS.

This is exactly what we’ll unpack during the FX Webinar session with Convera:

- When to hedge vs not hedge
- Structuring effective hedging strategies
- Avoiding the costly mistakes treasury teams repeat

Do you truly understand your FX cost…or only the reported one?
