I mean hedgeless is in the dictionary, and I find it difficult to use this in a sentence

who's "we"? you and your buddies?But, this dictionary shows that we have been misspelling and should be Hedgeable.
I would say "The portfolio is unhedged" or "The portfolio is not hedgeable" depending on what it is that you are trying to saySecond, could we say "The portfolio is hedgeless?" All other examples were for hedges, .... of a shrub and tree reference.
c and g (any others?) are special cases because of hard g and soft gI for one have always used the "hedgeable" spelling.
Indeed. The other spelling even looks wrong. It grates.
I wonder what the grammar rule is..Verbs ending in e should keep the e.
BTW are you a copy editor?

Based on the rules of logic, you can use any word as long as you define it and tell the audience what the word means. Definition is a rule intended to explain meaning,Two things I notice in the comments. One we do have a dictionary that defines this, though one for uncommon terms, This is acceptable, But, this dictionary shows that we have been misspelling and should be Hedgeable.

hedgeable means it can be hedgedNow that we know how to spell it, how would one define 'hedgeable'?
hedge has a soft g, it sounds like a jI am not a copy editor. Only a Finance/Risk professional that was ask this question by a colleague working on a strategy presentation for management.
I also have very poor grammar even though English is my first language. I did some additional research and found this site for adding -able to words:
http://grammarist.com/usage/able-ible/ or https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/spell ... le-or-ible
It seems the hard / soft rule for the ending consonant applies. So is hedge hard or soft?
