We’re proud of the sustained outcomes we’ve helped organizations achieve. For example, we’ve helped organizations design hedging programs to lock in diesel purchase prices that aren’t contractually dependent on the commodity index, allowing them to stabilize margins.
Other examples include helping several corporate organizations set up long-term interest rate hedging strategies against their commercial paper securitization programs. These strategies helped organizations lock in low-cost funding while reducing volatility.
