Swap giveups hedge

Hi guys- quick question one equity swap giveups and I wonder if you can help.

How does an equity swap giveup work and how does the hedge work from the prime broker after its given up? I'm trying to think of this from a fund , prime broker and another broker executing the trade.

Hopefully someone helpful will be able to help!

I am not sure what "hedge" you're referring to here.

Agreed, a swap give-up trade does not have to be a hedge.

Agreed but as the prime broker receives the give up from the executing broker, they will surely look the hedge their exposure they have just taken on with an offsetting trade?
