1. hedging

   Hedging is a financial strategy used to protect or offset potential losses or gains that may be incurred by an individual or a company. This is achieved by making an investment designed to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. Often, hedging involves the use of derivative contracts like options and futures. Essentially, hedging acts as a kind of insurance policy against market fluctuations or unforeseen events that could negatively affect the financial outcome.
