Minimum Hedging Sample Clauses
The Minimum Hedging clause sets a baseline requirement for the level of hedging activities that a party must maintain in relation to a specific transaction or portfolio. Typically, this clause obligates a party—often a borrower or counterparty—to enter into and sustain a minimum amount of hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps or currency forwards, to mitigate exposure to market risks. By mandating a minimum level of risk management, the clause ensures that both parties are protected from significant financial losses due to adverse market movements, thereby promoting financial stability and predictability in the contractual relationship.
