Thee oreign cholar mainly made he reearch on he relaion o exchange rae change and inere rae lucuaion. A domeic cholar named Ling Tian (004) deined he exchange rae rik a a poibiliy ha he commercial bank uer a lo due o he change o exchange rae and i expeced proi i hard o be achieved [5]. The deiniion o exchange rae rik given by Ling Tian indicae he commercial bank may uer a lo due o holding an advere change o curren exchange rae when i hold an open poiion o a cerain ype o oreign exchange in he orm o po exchange, orward or boh, o hi deiniion abou he exchange rae rik given by he cholar i recognized by oher domeic cholar. The value meauremen and conrol o exchange rae rik i baed on he analyi on he caue o exchange rae rik. Shelagh Heeman (1996) poined ha he mimach o currency and erm i a baic eaure or banking buine. The bank will ace exchange rae rik i he change o exchange rae doen comply wih he expeced rend [6]. And he urher noed ha in a oreign exchange marke, he value o oreign currency will be varied wih he inere rae o oreign currency, inere rae o domeic currency and po inere rae. Huali Huang (00) aid he acor aecing he change o exchange rae mainly include inernaional balance, inere rae change, inlaion, exchange rae policy, marke expecaion and hock [7]. Mo o he domeic cholar agree wih he opinion o Huali Huang. The common mehod or quaniaive reearch on he managemen o exchange rae rik include analyi mehod or he open o exchange rae rik [8], VaR [9], CVaR [10] and exreme value heory [11]. There are ew reearch on he open o oreign exchange, bu he ne open o oreign exchange calculaed by hi mehod i cloer o he acual open o oreign exchange. A or he calculaion o VaR, many cholar have made reearche: Yanjun Yang (005) inroduced GARCH model ino VaR mehod o meaure he marke rik and meaured he copper and aluminum conrac in Shanghai uure exchange [1] ; Yi Zhang (007) made an empirical reearch on he Dela normal diribuion mehod and hiorical imulaion mehod in VaR model [13] ; Bo Zhong and Qingong Wang (007) olved he Baye eimaion o he parameer by a aiical calculaion mehod named MCMC algorihm and go he inancial rik value VaR, which migh help he inveor o adju he VaR model by he oberved daa and he experience inormaion hey ge o make he deciion more eicien [14]. Xiaoxing Liu and Guihua Qiu (010) ued he Copula, a uncion wih dependency rucure, and he exreme value heory (EVT) o conruc an La-Copula-EVT rik value model o adju he liquidiy o Chinee ock marke, and made an empirical analyi on he high-requency daa o CSI income erie, hen poined ha he ail o income erie in Chinee CSI ock marke had a high correlaion [15]. A or he economic yem o a huge oreign exchange rik, uing he inancial engineering o manage he oreign exchange rik i o judge he inancial iuaion, conirm he inancial goal we expec o achieve, and elec a proper inancial ool o realize he conirmed inancial goal. Baed on previou reearche, hi aricle decribe he advanage o uing he inancial engineering mehod o manage he exchange rae rik, dicue he mehod o apply he inancial ool in uure, orward, exchange and opion, and analyze he eiciency o opimal analyi o uurebaed and opion-baed ool in mechanim and heory, expecing o provide a heoreical bai or he managemen o Chinee exchange rae rik. Deiniion o inancial engineering and i advanage in he managemen o exchange rae rik The inancial engineering incorporae he baic principle o economic, cience o inance and cience o invemen, and alo inroduce he heory and mehod o muliple dicipline uch a operaional reearch, phyic and geneic, a hown in Figure 1, he chemaic diagram o inancial engineering iner-dicipline p.

Schemaic diagram o inancial engineering iner-dicipline There are wo concep or inancial engineering, repecively in broad and narrow ene, and he ormer mean o ue advanced mahemaical and communicaion ool o conduc dieren orm o combinaion and diviion baed on variou exiing baic inancial produc in order o deign a new inancial produc ha mee he demand o clien and ha a cerain P/L propery; The laer mean o ue all he engineering-oriened mehod o deal wih he echnical developmen o inancial problem. There are many opinion abou he deiniion o inancial engineering. An American inancier John innery hough he inancial engineering i a dicipline ha include he deign, developmen, implemenaion o innovaive inancial ool and inancial mehod, a well a olving he inancial problem and uing variou inancial ool o olve variou inancial and buine problem in an innovaive way [16]. Thi aricle irmly agree wih he deiniion given by John innery. The key o inancial engineering i o develop and deign a new inancial produc or buine, and i main purpoe i o improve he eiciency. When he inancial engineering ace oreign exchange rik, here are wo goal or he managemen, including replacing he rik wih cerainy, and replacing he unavorable rik wih avorable rik. To achieve he above goal, he orward oreign exchange rading and currency opion rading are he main ool or reoluion o he problem. Thi aricle divide he inancial ool ino wo ype, namely uure-baed ool and opionbaed ool. The uure-baed ool include radiional marke ool (complee orward, orward opion and exchange), comprehenive conrac o orward oreign exchange, oreign exchange uure, ec., and he baic principle o uing hee ool o manage he exchange rae rik i o conirm he level o a rik by a ixed price in order o realize he goal o rik marke, which may avoid he rik due o he advere change o exchange rae, bu meanwhile give up he proi due o he poiive change o exchange rae; he opion-baed ool reer o he oreign exchange opion and he produc derived rom baic opion. The baic principle o uing non-ymmerical ool o manage he exchange rae rik i o lexibly deermine wheher o implemen he opion according o he deailed condiion o he lucuaion o oreign exchange marke. There no poin in prevening he exchange rae rik aer he even, and i he elecion i improper, he non-hedging and orward mehod may alo produce he wor reul. So he opion deiniely will no bring he wor reul hough i canno induce he be reul or he cuomer. The radiional mehod o manage he exchange rae rik mainly include ae liabiliy managemen, inurance and porolio invemen [17]. The diadvanage o uing ae liabiliy managemen o manage he exchange rae rik include huge ae conumpion, high ranacion co, credibiliy rik and ime lag in adjumen; The diadvanage o uing inurance o manage he exchange rae rik include he moral rik and advere elecion conanly exiing in he eicien operaion o inurance marke. Furhermore, he inurable rik ha a rigor elecing condiion; The diadvanage o uing porolio invemen o manage he exchange rae rik include he deec in he model iel and he ac ha a ingle porolio invemen heory canno avoid he yemaic rik bu o eicienly reduce he non-yemaic rik. Ying Cao alo indicaed he inancial engineering include company inance, inancial ranacion, invemen and oher p.3

The inancial engineering heory i developed around he rik managemen, and i ha an obviou advanage compared o he radiional mehod o manage he exchange rae rik, including he accuracy, imeline, (rik avoidance by derivaive ool), co (lever propery o derivaive ranacion) and lexibiliy (poiion o derivaive ranacion). The main reaon or hoe advanage lie in he problem ha can be olved by he heoreical yem o inancial engineering heory. The arbirage heory ucceully ue he principle arbirage balance wihou rik o decribe he inner mechanim o balance he ecuriie price baed on he heory o price eimaion, porolio and ae pricing. And he opion pricing heory ucceully realize he pricing or derivaive produc, which deepen he analyi on he relaion beween he rik and proi. 3 Opimal analyi on he managemen o exchange rae rik baed on inancial engineering In he perpecive o rik minimizaion, he ranacion beween he cah and uure marke may be conidered a a porolio, and he be hedging raio can be conirmed under he condiion o rik minimizaion. Auming here a hedger elling i hedging a i hold a oreign exchange poiion, he yield R h in hi hedging period may be calculaed wih Formula (1).

Generally conidering he ranacion co, we may have a good eec o hedging imply by keeping he change requency o dela hedging in a cerain degree. 4 Mehod o manage he exchange rae rik baed on inancial engineering and he empirical analyi 4.1 Mehod o manage he exchange rae rik baed on inancial engineering The inancial engineering echnology i mainly applie in hedging, peculaion, arbirage and porolio [18], while he inancial engineering ool or he managemen o exchange rae rik are mainly ued in uure, orward, exchange and opion. Thi chaper ocue on he above 4 ool o analyze he mehod o manage he exchange rae rik baed on inancial engineering. The oreign exchange uure i a common ool or hedging, which can be divided ino baic raegy o direc hedging and cro hedging. The baic raegy o direc hedging can be divided ino long and hor hedging, and hey are operaion revere o each oher. The long hedging i applicable o a cae where you purchae a oreign exchange in he uure bu are araid o uering lo due o he rie o oreign exchange rae. However, when people need o ue he oreign exchange uure o manage he oreign exchange rik hey are aced wih, and here no proper or available uure conrac or hedging in he oreign exchange uure marke, he people hall avoid he oreign exchange rik by he more complex cro hedging. In he cro hedging o oreign exchange uure, he hedger will ue he domeic and oreign currency which are calculaed by a hird ype o currency and ued in he ranacion o uure conrac. People may purchae he domeic currency uure and ell he oreign currency uure, or purchae he oreign currency uure and ell he domeic currency uure, o realize he cro hedging o avoid he rik o depreciaion and appreciaion o oreign currency. A a hedging ool, he orward conrac i an eicien complemen or he oreign exchange uure. I' no andardized, and he cuomer may inally cuomize he orward conrac o mee heir pecial requiremen.
