Managed Risk for Energy-Intensive Industries

Mitigating risk, protecting goals

Many executives often find it challenging to assess how hedge practices might impact key financial goals—margins, customer pricing or investor return. By deploying market-based simulations over a range of hedge strategies and potential market outcomes, companies in energy-intensive industries can test portfolio tradeoffs and tailor their overall risk exposures to meet financial goals.

If you are evaluating the effectiveness of your commodity risk management program, there are a couple of key questions you’ll need to answer:

  • How well does your strategy protect you across a range of market prices? Consider if your program is “static” or “responds” to changing market conditions.
  • Are you able to assess the financial implications of your strategy as it relates to key financial objectives: revenues, cash flow, hedge losses, and credit stress?
  • Is your program directive or restrictive—consider whether your program directs action be taken under defined market conditions, or rather your program just restricts the permissible activities?
