Interest rate risk management

Managing this risk is important for every corporate exposed to interest rate fluctuations that can affect the financial result of a company’s business. Therefore, for most corporates today, interest rate risk management is an integrated part of their overall risk management strategy. 

One of the first steps in interest rate risk management is to analyse and quantify the exposure to interest rate risk. We can perform such analyses for your company based on several models, using client specific information (financing needs, existing loan portfolio, debt maturity calendar, etc.) combined with market data (interest rates, currency rates, level of volatility). Based on the outcome of this analysis, steps on how to best manage and reduce this risk are formulated.
