DE-HEDGE

Closing all the positions that are originally in the place to act as the hedge in a portfolio. It involves going back into the marketplace and positions. It will previously be taken to the limit in the investors risk of price fluctuations. De-hedging is done when holders of an underlying asset have a bullish outlook on their investment. Therefore, the investor would prefer to remove their hedged position to gain exposure to the expected upward price fluctuations of their investment. For example, a hedged investor in gold who feels the price of their asset is about to go up would buy back any gold futures contracts they had sold in the futures market. By doing this, the investor will have positioned themselves to reap the rewards of an increase in the price of gold if their bullish prediction on gold is correct.
