Hedging: How does it work?

Example:

You decide to protect your portfolio below 90% over 1 year.

The premium paid annually is fixed when you take out the protection, and after 1 year either:

Your portfolio
has lost
more than 10%

Your portfolio
has not lost
more than 10%

Any loss in excess of 10% is
credited back to your account in cash

Nothing happens
