Risk management - foreign exchange.

A dynamic forward contract is a foreign exchange forward contract that provides additional flexibility to the party hedging its foreign exchange risk.

This effectively provides an option - or options - in favour of the hedger.

  • An up front premium;
  • An adverse forward rate in the contract, compared with the current market forward rate; or
  • A combination of these.
