Summary
Walt Disney is considering hedging future yen inflows from Disney Tokyo. It is evaluating techniques using FX Forwards, swaps, and Yen term borrowings. Goldman Sachs presents a rather unusual but potentially attractive solution: Disney could issue ECU Eurobonds and swap… into a Yen liability. The case explains how this alternative would work and suggests to the students ways to evaluate the hedging choices.
