The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How should the company design a hedging program to protect its export margins from adverse exchange rate movements?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply theories of exchange rate determination to real-world scenarios
- Evaluate hedging instruments (forwards, options) and their costs/benefits
- Analyze transaction exposure and its impact on firm value
