Bespoke Investments products

Flexible Investment Hedge

Flexible Investment Hedge

The Flexible Investment Hedge is a dynamic structured equity hedging arrangement that provides investors with the ability to hedge their equities exposure.

Investors are able to tailor their own unique strategy, by gaining exposure to Hedge Reference Assets (HRA) of their choice, in accordance with their own hedging objectives and risk appetite.
Provides investors with the flexibility to adjust their hedging strategy from time to time during the term by selecting substitute HRA from a list of eligible HRA.
Investors will be able to enter and adjust their hedging strategy in a seamless manner, and benefit from having their exposure to the selected HRA via a single hedging arrangement.
The Investec FIH reduces many of the costs and constraints associated with traditional equity hedging arrangements.
