Glossary
Hedge strategies:
(also referred to as alternative strategies) use both long and short positions in markets. Some of the most common strategies are long and short equity, global macro, relative value and credit. Hedge Strategies appeal to investors who are looking to diversify their investment, in an attempt to minimize market beta returns while seeking alpha and risk-adjusted returns.
Correlation:
is a statistical measure of the relationship between two sets of data. When asset prices move together, they are described as positively correlated; when they move opposite to each other, the correlation is described as negative or inverse. If price movements have no relationship to each other, they are described as uncorrelated.
Hedge:
is the reduction or elimination of investment risk through the purchase of a complementary financial instrument, such as an option or futures contract.
Diversification:
is a risk management strategy that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. A diversified portfolio contains a mix of distinct asset types and investment vehicles in an attempt at limiting exposure to any single asset or risk.
Long/Short:
takes both long and short positions buying securities seen as undervalued and selling short others seen as overvalued, in the hope of outperforming the market overall while hedging against possible declines.
Investment risks
Hedged Strategy investments can be complex and require a thorough understanding of the underlying instruments and strategies.
