hedging strategy

A finance concept defining methods and measures used to price assets, evaluate investments, and manage risk. It specifies cash-flow timing, discounting, risk premia, and exposure metrics used in decision-making and reporting. It does not ensure profitability and depends on input quality, model assumptions, and market conditions for reliable use.

A derivatives and risk concept defining instruments and measures used to transfer, price, and control financial exposures. It governs sensitivity measures, hedging effectiveness, and loss estimation under adverse market or credit conditions. It does not remove risk and requires appropriate limits, collateral processes, and validation of models and assumptions.
