Abstract
O trabalho apresentado foi realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Gestão e tem como
tema Gestão e Cobertura de Risco: O Caso da Stellantis Financial Services. O presente
trabalho tem como principal objetivo apresentar e aprofundar os diversos riscos
existentes no mercado, demonstrar a importância da gestão de risco, explorar
detalhadamente o conceito de cobertura de risco, identificar os principais instrumentos
financeiros de cobertura de risco e, ainda, perceber de que forma é delineada a
estratégia de gestão de risco da Stellantis Financial Services.
Para além da descrição das atividades desenvolvidas no estágio, e de um
enquadramento teórico sobre o tema da gestão de risco, no presente trabalho optou-se
por uma metodologia qualitativa. Nomeadamente, procedeu-se à realização de uma
entrevista ao responsável do Departamento de Contabilidade de Instrumentos
Financeiros da Stellantis Financial Services com o intuito primordial de perceber de que
forma é delineada a estratégia de gestão de risco, os tipos de riscos que a empresa
tenciona cobrir e, ainda, os principais instrumentos financeiros utilizados para efetuar
essa cobertura.
A cobertura de risco consiste num investimento que é efetuado com o intuito de reduzir
o risco de movimentos adversos do preço de um ativo, logo é uma estratégia que
procura limitar as exposições ao risco em ativos financeiros. Hedging apresenta como
intuito proteger os investimentos de oscilações súbitas e acentuadas nos mercados
financeiros. A cobertura de risco move-se na direção oposta ao investimento que está a
proteger pelo que permite limitar perdas. A cobertura de risco poderá aumentar o
investimento internacional. O reconhecimento e avaliação dos diversos riscos é
essencial para que as entidades possam delinear estratégias de gestão de risco de
modo a minimizar os riscos a que se encontram expostas. A gestão de risco contribui
para a prevenção do risco, resolução de problemas e auxilia os processos de tomada
de decisões. Assim sendo, a implementação da gestão de risco melhora
consideravelmente o desempenho das entidades.
The report presented was carried out as part of the Master’s Degree in Management and is entitled as Risk Management and Hedging: The Case of Stellantis Financial Services. This report has the main purpose of presenting and explore the several risks existent in the market, show the importance of risk management, explore in detail the concept of hedging, identify the main financial instruments of hedging and also understand how the Stellantis Financial Services risk management strategy is defined. In addition to a description of the activities developed in the internship and a theoretical framework on the topic of risk management, in this paper we have chosen for a qualitative methodology. In particular, an interview was conducted with the head of the Financial Markets Instruments Accounting Department at Stellantis Financial Services with the primary aim of understanding how the risk management strategy is defined, the types of risks that the company intends to cover and also the main financial instruments used to do so. Hedging is an investment that is made in order to reduce the risk of adverse price movements of an asset, so it’s a strategy that seeks to limit risk exposures in financial assets. Hedging aims to protect investments from sudden and sharp fluctuations in the financial markets. Hedging moves in the opposite direction to the investment it is protecting, which allows to limit losses. Moreover, hedging can also increase international investment. The recognition and evaluation of the various risks is essential so that entities can outline risk management strategies in order to minimize the risks to which they are exposed. Risk management contributes to risk prevention, problem solving and helps decision-making processes. Therefore, the implementation of risk management significantly improves the performance of entities.
