Strategic Benchmark Hedge Ratio

Refering to CFAI Text Vol 5, P.315~318 & 2011 CFAI Mock Exam Q18

Can anyone advise what is the definition of Strategic Benchmark Hedge Ratio ?

Strategic Benchmark Hedge Ratio defines the amount of hedging needed to cover the risk of adverse currency movements . It sis based on expected performance of foreign investments and expectations of currency movements.

ht+he=1+cov/var

ht = translation exposure (always hedge 100% for translation risk)
he = economic exposure

sum of the two is total hedge ratio.

Why it is called "Strategic Benchmark" Hedge Ratio ? I can not find it's definition in Glossary and
I think it is different from that of ht+he=1+cov/var.

So i computed my h = 1.1. what does it say? what do i do with it?

Also, I've seen questions saying "Joe wants to hedge translation risk but not economic"...actually think I saw one saying that the guy wanted to hedge economic but not translation.

So seems like I can look at them seperately...

Okay, but you were referring to the minimum variance hedge ratio, not the unitary hedge ratio.
