2. Hedge is the best way for an entity to protect itself against foreign currency exchange losses. There are two ways of Hedging - Forward contract and Options. Under forward contract, an entity can enter into an agreement with a financial institution for specified exchange rate of future date (i.e.) if there exists any future payable or receivable, the company agrees an exchange rate with the financial institution today itself for the said date. On the said date, irrespective of the exchange rate (spot rate), financial institution has to honor the payment or receipt for the forward contract rate. Under Options, there exists an additional facility for the company to choose either to exercise the option or not. So, if exchange rate is favorable, company can choose not to exercise the option and vice versa. Thus forward contract and options are two different types of hedge derivatives, through which company can protect itself from foreign currency exchange losses.
