Building a Tool to Show How Risks Are Interrelated: Ford Motor

Ford’s treasury de-compartmentalized its risks by developing a cash-flow-at-risk (CFaR) tool to show how exposures as different as commodity price fluctuation and foreign exchange volatility could be interrelated and that hedging them separately could undo natural hedges.
