The present study has empirically examined the level of foreign exchange exposure and its determinants of CNX 100 companies. For the purpose of study, the relationship between exchange rate changes and stock returns for a sample of 82 companies was determined for the period April 2011-March 2016. The study finds that 49% of the sample companies had significant positive foreign exchange rate exposure and the found that the companies could be exporters or net importers. To explore factors determining foreign exchange rate exposure, variables such as export ratio, import ratio, size of a company, hedging activities were regressed against the exchange exposure and the study found that none of the factors was influencing the exchange rate exposure. The study concludes that the reasons for insignificant influence of the variables could be the natural hedging practices of companies, offsetting of exports and imports and heterogeneous of the sample size. The study offers few directions for future research in this area.

Currency Derivatives

This study examines the foreign currency derivatives trading of KOSDAQ firms and analyses the relations of derivatives trading and foreign exchange rate exposure in the period 2005~2010. The amount of derivatives trading reaches 27.7% of total assets for the trading firms before global financial crisis period (2005~2007). While, the amount decreases to 17.6% of total assets during the crisis period (2008~2010). These amounts are much greater than those of KOSPI firms which are calculated using similar data specification and periods. The variables which are usually adopted as determinants of derivatives trading do not explain the usage of derivatives in the analysis of period 2005~2007. These results suggest that KOSDAQ firms use derivatives not only foreign exchange risk managements but also trading purposes during this period. Test results do not show sufficient evidence that KOSDAQ firms use derivatives trading in an effective manner to manage foreign exchange rate exposure. In sum, test results suggest that to achieve the goal of managing foreign exchange rate exposure firms should estimate their open position in foreign currency properly before conducting foreign currency derivatives trading.
