About Deal Contingent Hedging Pathway

Market risks in event-driven transactions pose a considerable risk to the parties involved as they can cause a significant expense if the transaction does not go through. Deal Contingent Hedging acts as a form of protection from such risks. In this pathway Selim will explore situations such as a cross-border M&A where a Deal Contingent FX contract (FXDC) can help protect against such movement of FX rates. He will also show how movements in interest rates can be hedged using an IRDC contract. In doing so, Selim will also cover the pricing and settlement of these products and why they are preferred to standard hedging instruments such as a forward or an option.
