We are tasked to forecast the sources and uses of funds across a variety of entities and currencies, taking into account business input, the Company's risk appetite and projected market conditions in order to effectively manage key cash and liquidity positions. Implementation of our funding and hedging strategies necessitates flawlessly executing transactions with internal and external counterparties in accordance with liquidity and capital constraints, internal guidelines, legal limitations and regulatory directives.
