The more complex the global business environment becomes, the more challenging it is to effectively manage financial risks. Whether companies are facing down exposures brought on by sales to (or purchases from) foreign markets, whether they’re trying to mitigate the effects on their earnings of swings in commodity prices, or whether they’re battening down the hatches in preparation for anticipated interest rate volatility—whatever the financial risk, complexity in the modern business landscape increases the difficulty for the corporate treasury and risk management teams.

But companies that dedicate sufficient resources to financial risk management are seeing big returns. Among the success stories are the three winners of the 2015 Alexander Hamilton Awards in Financial Risk Management.
