Correlation : Cov / SDs*SDf Risk reduction = variance without hedge – variance with hedge / variance without hedge Risk reduction factor = 1 – SDportfolio^2/Sdplatinum^2 The risk reduction is x% meaning the hedge reduced the portfolio’s risk by approximately x%. Weight platinum = 200 000/ 200 000 + (0,51*200 000) Weight future = 0,51*200 000/ 200 000 + (0,51*200 000) variance = wp^2*SDp^2 + wf^2*SDf^2 + 2*wp*wf*p*SDp*SDf
