Alles
Head and shoulders
A bearish reversal pattern that forms when a stock’s price rises to a peak and then falls, followed by a second rise to a higher peak, and then falls again.
Head fake
A false signal that leads traders to believe that a particular trend is emerging in the market.
Hedge
Hedging is a risk management strategy that involves adjusting asset positions to minimise potential losses from price fluctuations, often using futures contracts, options, or other financial instruments.
Hedge fund
An advanced, private investment fund managed by professionals for wealthy investors, aiming to profit in any market condition, typically with a minimum one-year holding period.
Hedge ratio
A hedge ratio measures risk exposure in a position, with 0% indicating an unhedged position and a ratio between 1-100% representing a hedged one, calculated as:
Hedge Ratio = Value of the Hedge Position / Value of the Total Exposure
Hedging
Taking a position in a financial instrument to offset the risk of an adverse price move in an existing exposure. A hedge will limit potential losses at the expense of limiting potential gains. It is not speculation, it is insurance. The aim is to bring the range of possible outcomes to a minimum, not to maximise profit.
Common instruments are options (whereby an agreement caps any losses and keeps any gains but incurs higher premiums), forwards and futures (whereby an agreement guarantees a price, without any optionality attached), swaps, and inverse ETFs. Theoretical hedges are perfect hedges: in practice, the difference between the hedge and the underlying is known as basis risk, and this risk will be reduced, but not completely eliminated, in most cases.
The art of the discipline is choosing the right hedge, the right size and the right correlation.
Example: An airline with high jet fuel expenses for the next year signs on to crude oil futures to guarantee the price of the crude oil. When oil prices surge, the increase in fuel prices is balanced by the futures price increase. If oil goes down, the airline pays more than the spot price would have, but the price was the cost of certainty for a business that cannot afford a 40% overnight fuel cost increase.
