  • Lower hedge ratios may be preferable over extended horizons, especially when factoring in hedging costs.  
  • Currency hedging significantly reduces risk for global bonds but is more complex for equities.  
  • Safe-haven currencies (USD, CHF, JPY) can offset equity market downturns, while emerging market currencies present higher costs and challenges.
