Share class hedging

Share class hedging is the use of currency forwards, at the level of one share class, to reduce the effect of exchange rate moves between the fund's base currency and the class currency. Gains, losses and costs of the hedge are attributed only to that class, and ESMA expects no leakage to other classes.
