CFO's Guide to Hedging

A CFO knows that mortgage lenders are exposed to interest rate risk.

A CFO knows that as rates rise, the gain on sale falls and the company has less revenue unless there is a hedging strategy in place to offset the value change risk.

A CFO knows that pipeline risk management is important to protect the Lender's exposure to interest rate movements.


A CFO must know the answers to the following questions...

  • Which hedging strategy is best?

  • What data is used to support the hedging position calculation?

Reality Check - If LOS status code data is wrong, the hedge position is wrong.

  • Which hedge report provides the truth about the effectiveness of the hedging activity?


The following PowerPoint was created to help CFOs understand the basics of hedging.
