Today, NeuGroup kicks off its 2021 semiannual virtual meetings in full force with the Foreign Exchange Group 1 meeting. Through the next few weeks, a number of peer group meetings will follow, setting our first-half meeting cycle in motion.
- Semiannual peer group meetings are the core offering of NeuGroup, and the primary venue through which members engage with one another. Peer groups have historically met twice a year in person in one-to-two-day sessions with the purpose of strengthening relationships through personal interaction, sponsor-led education sessions, and member-only sessions for sharing best practices.
March 10-11: Foreign Exchange Group 1 H1 2021 Meeting, sponsored by Standard Chartered: new norms in risk management, frameworks, data and application. - The semi-annual meeting for FX group 1 tackles managing FX in the “new norm;” the analytics involved in developing a new risk management framework; transitioning from one exposure ID tool to another; and the pros and cons of hedging China with CNH vs. CNY.
- NeuGroup for Mega-Cap Treasurers is a leading forum for peer knowledge exchange on topical treasury issues for today’s strategically-minded practitioner. Members will discuss timely topics including sustainability and will assess what has been learned over the last year and which changes will likely be permanent.
March 18-19: Foreign Exchange Group 2 H1 2021 Meeting, sponsored by HSBC: the “Asia Corridor,” EM currencies and FX program restructuring. - The semi-annual meeting for FX group 2 takes on the hedge changes required as a result of a business re-org in one case and a new forecasting regime in another; the “Asia corridor” (China and India); and challenges in emerging markets hedging and trade execution.
