How much of your FX exposure is protected?

A hedge ratio determines the percentage of the exposure covered by the assumed forward contract. The remaining exposure continues to be affected by the future market rate.

75% HEDGED
25% OPEN
UNDERSTANDING THE RESULT

Hedging is about managing uncertainty โ€” not predicting where the market will go.

A partial FX hedge divides your exposure between a protected portion and an amount that remains exposed to future exchange-rate movements.

The calculator applies the assumed forward rate to the hedged portion and the future scenario rate to the unhedged portion. This produces an illustrative blended exchange rate for the overall exposure.

The result is designed to help you understand how different hedge ratios can affect your currency exposure. It should not be interpreted as a forecast of future exchange rates or a recommendation to enter into a particular transaction.
