Global Macro & Currency: Managing FX Risk in Multi-Asset Portfolios

In the complex landscape of global multi-asset investing, currency exposure often represents the largest unmanaged risk factor, capable of eroding alpha and amplifying volatility. This book serves as the definitive guide for institutional investors, portfolio managers, and quantitative analysts seeking to master the mechanics of foreign exchange. It moves beyond basic diversification theories to present a rigorous framework for treating currency not merely as residual noise, but as a distinct asset class and a systematic driver of portfolio performance.

Readers will traverse the full lifecycle of FX risk management, from decomposing international return arithmetic to identifying the macro-economic regimes that dictate correlation. The text bridges high-level strategy and operational reality, offering deep dives into market microstructure, derivative pricing, and the nuances of cross-currency basis. Detailed chapters on instrument selection—ranging from deliverable forwards to emerging market NDFs—empower practitioners to construct dynamic hedging programs that optimize carry, minimize cost, and withstand liquidity stress.

Unlike purely academic texts, this volume emphasizes the practical engineering of hedging policies, addressing implementation challenges such as transaction cost analysis, collateral management, and regulatory governance. By integrating quantitative optimization with qualitative macro insights, the book provides a robust blueprint for designing stress-tested risk frameworks. It is an essential resource for professionals aiming to transform currency risk
