Delta Hedge

A risk offsetting position that matches the market response of the base or underlying position over a narrow range of price or rate changes. Because one side of the net position has option characteristics, the position must be modified to maintain delta neutrality if the price or rate moves beyond a narrow range. See also Delta (1), Delta/Gamma Hedge, Dynamic Hedging.
