Explain how the hedge, as described by the fund manager, will eventually expose the portfolio to currency risk.

Kamala Gupta, a currency management consultant, is hired to evaluate the performance of two portfolios. Portfolio A and Portfolio B are managed in the United States and performance is measured in terms of the US dollar (USD). Portfolio A consists of British pound (GBP)
denominated bonds and Portfolio B holds euro (EUR) denominated bonds.
Gupta calculates a 19.5% domestic-currency return for Portfolio A and 0% domesticcurrency return for Portfolio B.

The fund manager of Portfolio B believes that setting up a full currency hedge requires a simple matching of the current market value of the foreign-currency exposure in the portfolio with an equal and offsetting position in a forward contract.
