Cash Flow Hedge

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Cash Flow Hedge

A cash flow hedge is a financial strategy used to mitigate the risk of variability in cash flows associated with a particular asset, liability, or forecasted transaction. By employing derivatives such as futures, options, or swaps, entities aim to stabilize cash flows and protect against adverse price movements. The effectiveness of a cash flow hedge is assessed periodically to ensure it aligns with the intended risk management objectives.
