CFAI Volume 5, Page 300, Example 3 Q2 asks to analyse the return on your hedged portfolio. A2 says using Equation 10, the return on the hedged portfolio is equal to 0%. What numbers did they plug in to the Equation to get 0%??? Here is the Equation: R hedged = R + s (1-h)
I just did this. R hedged = R +s (1-h) = .01 + (-.05)* (1-.08) = .01-.01 = 0
How enlightening - why couldn’t they have printed that in the answers?! Thank you so much!
You are welcome

Thanks for pointing this out inbead.
