Institutional Hedging

Definition

Institutional hedging involves strategies employed by large financial entities to mitigate risk exposure. These strategies are used by institutions like hedge funds, pension funds, and corporations to protect their investment portfolios or operational revenues from adverse price movements in assets, including digital currencies. Techniques often involve derivatives such as futures, options, or perpetual swaps, alongside diversification across various asset classes. The objective is to stabilize returns and preserve capital during market volatility.
