Hedged Position Hedged PositionAn investment in which risk is reduced by making an offsetting investment. There are a large number of hedging strategies that one can use. For example, one may take a long position on a security and then sell short the same security or a similar security. This means that one will profit (or at least avoid a loss) no matter which direction the security's price takes. A hedged position may reduce risk, but it is important to note that it also reduces profit potential. |
