Exit Survey
 
 
Hello:
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey by Andriana Goudis for the completion of the MBA programme at Cardiff Business School. This survey will gather information on interest rate risk management techniques conducted by certain firms. The survey aims to understand the different derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and the motives behind hedging risk. This survey should only take 15 minutes of your time. Results will be published upon request in mid-September 2014.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate.

Thank you very much for your time and support.
