Uso de derivados financieros para cubrir la exposición al riesgo cambiario de la empresa LAC SAS.

Resumen

For more than 10 years financial derivatives have been incorporated into the Colombian Stock Exchange with the objective that investors can carry out speculation or hedging operations, however, empirical evidence shows that the use of these products in companies in the agricultural sector it is not yet internalized by their owners, boards of directors or administration. therefore, a theoretical construction is carried out on the derivatives market in Colombia and on the different instruments that are used in this market to determine the possible financial strategies that a company such as Línea Agrícola Colombia SAS can contemplate to mitigate exchange risk through hedging with financial derivatives. After analyzing the financial statements of the company and reviewing the impact of the difference in the change that the company has had by not using adequate hedging instruments, we will validate the feasibility of using a future (financial derivative) to reduce this risk. Through this study, it is intended to correctly structure a hedging strategy for Línea Agrícola Colombia SAS that allows it to adequately manage foreign exchange risk in order to avoid having a negative impact on the financial statements.
