Protegeu-se, esquivou-se

Num contexto de mercado financeiro, hedge [against something] tem a tradução literal de proteger-se. Me parece fazer sentido nesse contexto também.
Peer comment(s):

agree Jessica Boieras : In other words, How do you hedge? Hedging strategies are designed to reduce the impact of short-term corrections in asset prices. For example, if you wanted to hedge a long stock position, you could buy a put option or establish a collar on that stock.
