Currency exposure refers to the vulnerability of an investment based on the exchange rate between two currencies. It can affect anyone who has investments priced in another country's currency. The value of currency can depreciate suddenly, and that can lead to the depreciation of investments.

Cross currency triangulation works by first converting the monetary amounts from one national currency unit (source currency) into an intermediate currency (anchor currency). The calculation then coverts the amount in the intermediate currency into the designated national currency unit (target currency).

Calculate an FX rate using this simple formula: Your starting figure (in your local currency) divided by the final number (in the new foreign currency) = the exchange rate.

Use the Currencies data type to calculate exchange rates Enter the currency pair in a cell using this format: From Currency / To Currency with the ISO currency codes. For example, enter "USD/EUR" to get the exchange rate from one United States Dollar to Euros. Select the cells and then select Insert > Table.

If you don't know the exchange rate, you can use this formula: starting amount (base currency) / ending amount (foreign currency) = exchange rate.

For instance, investors in automaker Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) have currency exposure because the company sells cars in countries outside of Japan. Toyota sells cars in the United States for U.S. dollars, in France for euros, and in Britain for pounds.

Currency exposure can be quantified as the total amount of capital involved in all transactions divided by the total amount of capital involved in currency exchange transactions.

(Strategy risk)/2 x number of trades in particular currency = risk of exposure. This allows us to calculate how much strategic risk we take for each currency. Daniel John Grady is a financial analyst and writer.
