Abstract
This paper makes contributions in two directions. First, the paper presents a model in which value-maximizing firms pursue active hedging policies. Second, the paper derives optimal hedging policies for risk-averse agents. Whereas the methodology used and the results provided are quite general, this paper deliberately focuses the analysis on hedging foreign exchange exposure through forward contracts on foreign currencies. This emphasis is explained by the fact that hedging foreign currency exposure through forward contracts has been a topic of considerable interest in recent years.
