Μπορεί να είναι διάφορες οι στρατηγικές αντιστάθμισης κινδύνων, αλλά θα τις εξηγήσεις παρακάτω, άρα δεν χρειάζεται να μπουν στον τίτλο αφού δεν έχουμε ακριβή όρο. Βάλε το αγγλικό σε παρένθεση, όπως κάνουν όλα τα καλά γραφεία με αυτούς τους όρους.

Μια λεπτομερής εξήγηση εδώ: http://www.hedgefundresearch.com/index.php?fuse=hfrx-str&116...
Equity Hedge, also known as long/short equity, combines core long holdings of equities with short sales of stock or stock index options. Equity hedge portfolios may be anywhere from net long to net short depending on market conditions. Equity hedge managers generally increase net long exposure in bull markets and decrease net long exposure or even are net short in a bear market. Generally, the short exposure is intended to generate an ongoing positive return in addition to acting as a hedge against a general stock market decline. Stock index put options are also often used as a hedge against market risk. Profits are made when long positions appreciate and stocks sold short depreciate. Conversely, losses are incurred when long positions depreciate and/or the value of stocks sold short appreciates. Equity hedge managers' source of return is similar to that of traditional stock pickers on the upside, but they use short selling and hedging to attempt to outperform the market on the downside.
