Fundamentals of Weather Derivatives - WD
CPE Credits Awarded:
Categories: Trading, Derivatives, Hedging and Risk Management
Weather is the single most important factor in influencing price volatility, volume fluctuations and revenues in the energy industry, as well as other industries globally. While exchange traded futures and options and many OTC products can be used to limit price risk, they do not provide a hedge against the volume risk associated with unpredictable weather patterns. This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of weather derivative products. After completing this course, delegates will be able to qualify and quantify weather risk in their businesses and determine the specific weather derivative tools necessary to protect revenues from Mother Nature.
