Long Hedge l l l Suppose that F 1 : Initial Futures Price F 2 : Final Futures Price S 2 : Final Asset Price You hedge the future purchase of an asset by entering into a long futures contract Cost of Asset=S 2 – (F 2 – F 1) = F 1 + Basis 3. 2

This is known as cross hedging. 3. 5
Optimal Hedge Ratio Proportion of the exposure that should optimally be hedged is where s. S is the standard deviation of DS, the change in the spot price during the hedging period, s.
