On Thursday, October 17, the CFOs of the supported companies were invited to gather at the European Digital Group offices in Paris for a breakfast event on the topic of interest rate risk hedging. This was the second CFO Club of 2024 and the fourth edition since the creation of this now well-established event.
The discussion took place around a presentation by the founders of IRIS Advisory, a consultancy specializing in hedging operations (rates, currencies, commodities), along with a feedback session from Elise Martini, CFO of Groupe Premium, moderated by our Head of Financing & Capital Markets.
The discussions covered the significant evolution of the interest rate environment in recent years, the available hedging instruments (particularly caps and swaps), key considerations when choosing the right instrument, and how to seek guidance on these topics.
