Plutôt que de vendre les actions dont les cours sont à la baisse, le gestionnaire peut, par exemple, avoir recours à la vente d'options ou de contrats à terme sur indice boursier. Si la baisse se poursuit, il peut racheter les options ou les contrats à terme à un prix inférieur, le profit servant à compenser les pertes sur le portefeuille d'actions. 1, record 1, French, - couverture%20d%27un%20portefeuille

The new methodology is creating powerful incentives for encouraging banks to improve their risk management-for the first time, successful efforts by banks to control market risk will be directly rewarded with a lower regulatory capital ratio. Under the earlier approach-still in use for credit risk-which required banks to maintain prudential ratios, the banks’ regulatory capital requirements were largely determined by the side of their asset and lialibity positions rather than by their risk exposures. There was only a limited possibility of reducing regulatory capital by reducing risk through diversification and hedging. 2, record 2, English, - regulatory%20capital

Pour se prémunir contre les risques financiers, les intervenants sur les marchés pétroliers (ou «traders» en pétrole) ont recours à des opérations sur les marchés à terme [...] Elles consistent à passer des ordres d'achats ou de ventes de quantités de pétrole «papier» dont très peu (environ 5 %) se solderont par une livraison effective de cargaison. Le principe est de compenser une opération réelle par une opération «baril-papier» inverse, aux mêmes conditions : un négociateur achète une cargaison de pétrole et, dans le même temps, vend l'équivalent de «barils-papier» sur le marché à terme. Ainsi, si le prix du brut a chuté et que le négociateur perd de l'argent à la revente du pétrole physique, il rachète le pétrole «papier» moins cher qu'il ne l'a vendu et réalise donc un bénéfice qui compense la perte subie sur le marché réel. 4, record 4, French, - baril%2Dtitre
