[Verse 1]
When your portfolio spans across the globe
Different currencies can make values roll
Euro here and yen over there
Exchange rates moving everywhere
One day you're up, next day you're down
Foreign exchange risk spins you around
[Chorus]
Hedge your bets, don't let it slide
Currency swings you can't hide
Minimum variance is the key
Strategic hedging sets you free
Cover your risk, protect your gains
Foreign exchange can break the chains
[Verse 2]
Strategic hedging is your master plan
Decide how much protection you can stand
Full hedge means you cover it all
Partial hedge breaks your potential fall
Zero hedge leaves you exposed
To every currency wind that blows
[Chorus]
Hedge your bets, don't let it slide
Currency swings you can't hide
Minimum variance is the key
Strategic hedging sets you free
Cover your risk, protect your gains
Foreign exchange can break the chains
[Bridge]
Minimum variance hedge ratio
Calculate the perfect flow
Correlation and standard deviation
Guide your hedging calculation
Reduce the ups and reduce the downs
Smooth returns all year around
[Verse 3]
Forward contracts lock your rate
Futures help you calculate
Options give you choice to make
Currency swaps for goodness sake
Tools to manage foreign risk
Keep your portfolio crisp
[Chorus]
Hedge your bets, don't let it slide
Currency swings you can't hide
Minimum variance is the key
Strategic hedging sets you free
Cover your risk, protect your gains
Foreign exchange can break the chains
[Outro]
International investing's great
Just remember to hedge your fate
Currency management done right
Keeps your portfolio burning bright
