Hestatt

I remember seeing it somewhere but I don’t know where and I don’t know what it means. Little help

Herstatt risk = Settlement risk +3 points

the same as settlement risk

Herstatt = Settlement Risk. Why can’t they just call it Settlement risk. I don’t give a rat’s a$$ who Herstatt is or why he deserves a risk factor named after him.

Right it makes no sense. Like do you deserve having a risk named after you if you screwed up that bad?
