I wants to calculate Hedging Effectiveness (HE). The formula for HE is 

HE= (Variance of un-hedge portfolio- variance of hedge portfolio)/Variance of un-hedge portfolio.

I am confused what is the value of un-hedge portfolio variance. If I use the variance of series from MV GARCH model then HE is very small. 

My question is; to find the un-hedge variance I have to estimate the un-variate GARCH model or the squared of return of a series?

Please guide me
