What is commodity and FX risk management?

Commodity and FX risk management is the process of identifying, measuring and mitigating the impact of price and currency movements on a company's margins, budgets and earnings. It covers capturing exposure across forecasts and contracts, monitoring it against policy, testing scenarios, and using hedges such as forwards, futures, swaps and options to protect budget certainty.

How does Forge aHedge capture my exposure?

The platform captures physical and financial exposure in real time across forecasts, unpriced orders, fixed contracts and existing positions, giving procurement and treasury one source of truth. It's cloud-native and fully API-enabled, with integration to your ERP and dealing systems so exposure data can current without manual rekeying.

Can I compare hedging strategies before I commit?

Yes. You can compare multiple hedging strategies side by side — including the cost of doing nothing — and see the cashflow outcome of each across every price scenario. That lets you pinpoint the balance of protection, cost and budget certainty that fits your risk appetite, and every analysis is saved for future reference and audit.

What scenario and cashflow analysis does it provide?

Forge aHedge projects potential cashflows across flexible horizons and multiple scenarios, and measures the future performance of positions against your budget and target rates. It supports the full range of derivatives — forwards, futures, swaps and options — and makes all data available for warehousing, custom reporting and AI workflows.

Why use Forge aHedge instead of spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets have no enforced controls, no continuous monitoring and no reliable audit trail, which turns them into a source of risk rather than a control. Forge aHedge automatically monitors markets, policy settings and budgets, and alerts you to unwanted volatility and budget-rate threats before they hit your P&L. Forge aHedge accurately takes into account day counts, holiday calendars, averaging, strike levels, barriers, unit conversions which are prime sources of error and challenge in spreadsheet models for financial risk.

What are The Sentinel and Smithy?

The Sentinel is the platform's automated monitoring engine — it watches markets, policy settings and budgets and raises automated alerts when volatility or budget-rate breaches threaten earnings. Smithy is the built-in AI assistant you can ask for instant insight on hedge strategies, maturities, exposures and compliance for instance.
