this portfolio does not use any currency derivatives. We can use them, but more for efficient portfolio management (i.e. for instance to immediately put large inflows to work buying an index future while we carefully build positions in names we want to increase our holdings) rather than for hedging purposes. One other potential use of derivatives for this portfolio would be to take a small position in the index future to manage excessive underweights/overweights vs the benchmark.
The reason I mention these actions using the conditional, is that this portfolio is very very very derivatives light. We almost never used them (and we will try and not use them at all in the future) but for the sake of transparency we need to inform you that we can use them.
