Hedging is prime reason for the advent of derivatives. Markets in India have developed a lot day by day these instruments are becoming the integral part of Investments.

25. Findings About half of nonfinancial firms, brokers and investors are not investing in derivatives. Hedging provides a safe position on an underlying security. The loss gets shifted to a counter party. Brokers haven't adequate knowledge about options, so most of them are dealing in futures only. People are not aware of derivatives, even people who have invested in it, hasn’t adequate knowledge about it. If the trader is not sure about the direction of the movement of the profits of the current position, he can counter position in the future contract and reduces the level of risks. Results suggest that foreign currency hedging rather than eliminating exposures, generally only reduces the exposure, but typically by less than half of original outstanding exposure. Most of the firms are evaluating their portfolio on monthly basis. That is beneficial for the firm.
