Abstract
Corporate Risk management has become very important for firms who are exposed to markets risks.
A firm that manages the market risks it is exposed to efficiently can ensure it remains solvent in
times of extreme market volatility. This paper looks at the hedging activities of South African Airways
over a 10 year period where the airline experienced significant losses due to volatility in the Rand
Exchange Rate and Crude Oil prices.
