Cash holdings play a critical role for all corporations. They serve as a source of funding for investment projects that create value for shareholders and as a cushion against costly financial distress. On the other hand, excess cash holdings can induce wasteful spending and attract unwanted attention from labor unions and activist investors. In Applied Corporate Risk and Liquidity Management, Erik Lie brings risk management and liquidity management together to explore how corporations can ensure they have sufficient--but not excess--cash holdings, both now and in the future. He begins by covering the determinants of liquidity, the consequences of suboptimal liquidity, and how to manage liquidity. Lie then demonstrates two ways to control current and future cash holdings: the mitigation of risk factors on operating cash flow and cash holdings and the payouts made to investors. Through this integrated approach, he explores how risk management and payout policy can and should be used to maintain the proper cash level. Using cash simulations throughout, Lie shows how to determine whether firms should hedge, which hedging mechanism to use, and which payout mechanism or debt structure is suitable.

With practical tools rooted in liquidity management, this book presents a strong theoretical foundation for risk management and payout policy, discusses practical considerations, and demonstrates applied tools that help managers make good decisions.

Reviews for Applied Corporate Risk and Liquidity Management

Professor Lie has written an extremely accessible book that carefully lays out why it is important for companies to manage their cash balances and how they can do so using the tools of risk management and corporate financial policies. Both students and financial management professionals will find this to be a valuable reference. * David J. Denis, Roger Ahlbrandt Sr. Chair of Finance, University of Pittsburgh * Applied Corporate Risk and Liquidity Management is about managing cash or, more broadly, managing liquidity. Erik Lie provides original presentations and integration of ideas that have appeared in the recent literature about techniques for managing liquidity and risk. The book will be engaging to anyone at a corporate level who has responsibility for day-to-day management of cash holdings or cash and other liquid assets. * John McConnell, Burton D. Morgan Distinguished Chair of Private Enterprise, Krannert School of Management, Purdue University * Risk management is a challenging subject because it is broad, employing tools and insights from corporate finance, derivatives, insurance, and statistics. In this useful book, Erik Lie skillfully provides the necessary background to cover the important topics. * Robert McDonald, Gaylord Freeman Distinguished Chair in Banking, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University *
