Firms engage in cross-hedging because they cannot find a perfect match for the commodity or financial asset they are seeking to manage. The source of the imperfect match could be grading, timing, or quantity mismatches, or one of several other factors. The primary drawback of a cross-hedge is the fact that not all of the firm's risk will be eliminated since, by definition, a cross-hedge is an imperfect match.

 

Feedback: Refer to section 23.566. In a forward contract, the parties agree at the outset to a specified transaction at some point in the future at a predetermined price. In a swap, the parties agree to several future transactions at predetermined prices. Thus, each transaction specified by the swap contract is essentially a forward contract.

 Feedback: Refer to section 23.167. Financial engineering is the creation and use of derivative securities to hedge risk. It is becoming increasingly popular because of the increasing volatility and uncertainty surrounding prices, interest rates, and exchange rates.
