What are hedging strategies and how do they work?

 

Hedging strategies are risk management strategies used to reduce loss in investments due to market volatility or adverse price movements. These strategies involve financial instruments such as futures, options, and derivatives to protect against market volatility by offsetting potential losses in one asset by taking an opposing position in other.

 

For instance, an investor holding stocks might use put options as a hedge to protect against a market downturn.

 

Hedging works as a form of insurance, providing safety by limiting the impact of unfavourable price changes, while allowing investors to retain exposure to potential gains. Effective hedging helps balance portfolios, stabilize returns, and manage uncertainties during market volatility.
