Matched Hedge

A hedge that uses a financial instrument based on the same asset as the asset to be hedged in the underlying portfolio. This type of hedge contrasts to a cross hedge which uses a different but correlated financial instrument to hedge an underlying asset, or a basket hedge which uses a group of financial instruments that collectively is correlated with the asset to be hedged.
