Hedging

Protect your stock portfolio or an individual position with put options or CFDs indices against falling markets.

Why use hedging techniques to cover your risks

You prevent the market from eroding the value of your portfolio. Rather than taking a hedging position for each individual exposure, you only need to carry out one transaction involving a certain asset. This transaction is designed to offset any fall in the value of your portfolio, and can be completed with a single click. In other words, hedging can be defined as opening a new position to maintain your portfolio’s value until the market recovers, that is  until the downturn is over.

Long equity portfolio

Portfolio of equities traded on a certain index or market, totaling an amount equivalent to the value of the assets in Swiss francs.

Short-term downtrend expected

Uncertainties over price trends are sparked by financial market conditions, the macroeconomic environment and/or geopolitical risks. The visual presentation or technical composition of the indicators will help you by pointing to the beginning of a market correction.

Trade: open your hedge

Pick the right instrument, set the relevant nominal value to be hedged and take the hedging position to be kept open until market conditions change.
