Use the result with context

Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

Divide the value of the hedge position by the value of the total exposure. A hedge valued at 30,000 against exposure of 100,000 gives a 30% value ratio.

Hedge ratio (%) = hedge value ÷ exposure value × 100

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Value of hedge position

Assumptions and limitations

  • Use values from a consistent period, scope and currency. The stated formula defines this simplified model; the explanation describes quantities it leaves out.

Common questions

Does a 100% ratio eliminate risk?

No. A value ratio does not measure every source of risk. Basis differences, changing prices, contract terms and correlations can leave residual exposure.
