unhedged y upside (ver la respuesta mas abajo)


Explanation:
HEDGE= cubrir un riesgo, particularmente a través de una operación de futuro o de otra similar.//Ocultar la verdad, aunque sin incurrir en falsedades.
HEDGING=Cobertura. Practica comercial mediante la cual una empresa u otro operador económico se cubre de ciertos riesgos derivados de la fluctuación de los precios de mercado mediante la concertación de operaciones de futuro u otras comparables que minimicen tales riesgos./ ocultamiento de la verdad sin incurrir en falsedad.

UPSIDE: Parte superior, lo de arriba.

Por lo que creo que la traducción es:
'La Empresa (Compañía) permanece no cubierta en un 100 por ciento y deja el 100 por ciento del oro de la parte superior a sus accionistas.'

Suerte

Sylvia

no se ha cubierto ante fluctuaciones en los precios


Explanation:
""no se ha cubierto ante fluctuaciones en los precios, por lo que el 100% de las subas potenciales del oro es para sus accionistas"

Otra opción sería "la compañía no ha realizado actividades en los mercados de futuros, lo que deja el 100% de las subas potenciales del oro a sus accionistas"

Upside: potential gain

Aquí hay un artículo interesante sobre el tema, adjunto parte, pero recomiendo leerlo completo (por lo menos las partes de hedge true y hedge false):
"Hedging false" works as follows. The gold mine borrows gold from a bullion bank at the low gold-rate of interest. It sells the gold bullion in the cash market and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities yielding at the high paper-rate of interest. The difference between the two rates is then added to revenues, and the mine is reporting higher mining profits year in and year out. The pretence is maintained that the mine has increased revenues by selling its product forward "to take advantage of a high gold price." But what are the criteria by which it can be established that the price is high? Any price is a high price that can be pushed down by the threat of an artificial oversupply. The gold miner puts a marketing policy into effect that deliberately makes the price of gold fall and then poses as a hero who has invented hedging.

The whole procedure that passes under the name of "hedging" today is fraudulent. A forward sale is a transaction that will not be closed out for several years, when the borrowed gold is returned to the lender. But until closed out it will not be possible to determine the profitability of the deal. Not only does the gold mine indulging in "hedging false" declare profitability fraudulently, it is actually paying out phantom profits in the form of stock options to executives, thus robbing the shareholders. Ignored is the possibility that the borrowing arrangement may not be extended for a further period by lenders and the mine must buy gold in the open market at a loss to cover the liability. Also ignored is the scenario that the gold price may advance so fast, never to return to its level where forward selling occurred, that the gold mine is unable to cover its short positions profitably and must incur horrendous trading losses. Be that as it may, the premature reporting of questionable profits is a clear fraud to mislead shareholders. It should be stopped by the government's watchdog agencies. It isn't, and this makes "hedging false" a conspiracy involving the gold mine, the bullion bank, and the government. It is a scheme to manipulate assets and liabilities off balance sheet to the detriment of shareholders.
