Financial Jargon
Submitted by yan on Fri, 01/30/2009 - 06:39Hedge funds are unregulated investment pools, usually funded by rich individuals and pension funds. To contain risk, they often “hedge”, ie, buy shares in Sainsbury's, but bet against a fall in Tesco shares.
A derivative is a bet “derived” from the performance of shares or some other asset. Futures and spread-betting, for instance. A company can buy a contract (a future) to purchase a commodity at a given price on a certain date.
