| Abstract Text | This thesis analyzes the various hedging strategies against currency and inflation risk. The research on the theoretical concepts show that hedging can reduce the volatility of the cash flows and the earnings if applied correctly. Based on the theory, two flowcharts were developed to help decide which project level hedging strategies are most appropriate. To find suitable hedging strategies in practice, a long-term service contract at Stadler Rail AG was analyzed. The finding is that in practice as many risks as possible should already be covered in the contract, while in theory more internal and external strategies are analyzed at the corporate level. |
