Explanation

If a firm makes significant use of currency hedging when allowed, it should separate portfolios that do not allow such hedging into a different composite and use a different benchmark for the highly hedged and unhedged composites. Similarly, portfolios with materially different risk exposures do not belong in the same composite.
