Micro-Hedge

    0.01 sec.
Micro-Hedge
The practice of hedging the risk on a particular security or asset. An investor micro-hedges when he/she seeks to reduce the risk associated with a single investment. A common way to micro-hedge is to take a roughly equal but opposite position on the same or similar security. For example, one may take a long position in oil while taking a short position in natural gas. It is important to note, however, that micro-hedging usually has little or no effect on a portfolio consisting of several securities.
