What are peoples thoughts on hedging UK portfolio's?
I had little success using a CFD of an equal and opposite position, i.e short (200x leverage) 4 SPX contracts worth ~10000 gbp to hedge a long position of 10000 US equities. Always ended up getting margin called , which is fine but you have to buy another one everytime you get margin called and pull money out of the main portfolio to do so, which isn't very good for if you think it's gonna be a longer downtrend
UK Options aren't really a thing, unless anyone else has seen otherwise?
Safe havens are a joke right now, golds doing its own thing and cash isn't right.
Thoughts or experiences anyone?
