Options
-
Forward contracts
Correct answer
- B
Equity shares
- C
Government bonds
- D
Mutual funds
Why this is the answer
Forward contracts allow investors or companies to lock in exchange rates for future transactions, effectively hedging currency risk. Equities, bonds, and mutual funds do not provide direct protection against currency fluctuations.
