Hedge Ratio
The hedge ratio measures the value of a hedge using futures, other derivatives or offset mechanisms as a proportion of an investor’s total position exposure. A naked risk position will have a hedge ratio of zero; hedge ratios closer to 100% effectively neutralise risk exposure to the position.
