Hedging strategy against variable-rate mortgage? We all know that variable-rate home mortgage usually offers a lower rate than than the fixed-rate one (if compared at the same moment in time). Does it work for an average home buyer to do the following: borrow at a variable (lower) rate, and use a hedging strategy, such as buying a T-note futures or options (or any other market instrument of the interest-rate markets) ? Simply put, the idea is this: we use low mortgage rate, and if it goes up later, we will lose on the higher mortgage payment, but our investment in the interest-rate market will also go up, so we will gain a similar amount to offset the rise of mortgage payments. I know, large corporate land and real estate owners and maybe home builder companies do that, but does the same approach work to save money for individual home-buyer? If you have knowledge in this field, please let me know which instrument can I buy (or short) for such hedging? The interest-rate instrument (stock/futures/options) used here needs to meet 2 criteria: large leverage, small per-share price (because of the need to sell it little-by-little as I keep paying off and reducing the outstanding mortgage size). Thanks! Dear jw, thanks for your answer, it was very helpful. I'd like to reply to your idea of using a CD account or Money Market - the problem is that if I have a $300k mortgage, I will need another $300k (of cash) to put on the CD - most of the time, people do not have the money (or else they wouldn't need to borrow). That's why I mentioned *leverage* (such as exists in futures/options) - because only a small fraction of the capital is required to buy these. Would you be so kind to comment on this? Thanks

Generally speaking, are "strategies" and "exclusive intelligence" for 100+% high returns real? I'm a member of a respectable investment club that's been around for over 20 years and I've made some money with them by buying stable stock that, over time, has gone up in price. The membership costs me about $80/yr. and it's been worth it. Once in a while, some of their distinguished members send me offers on how to purchase stock with very high returns. My concern is that these subscriptions cost $1500, even though they have a 90-day free trial (I don't like it, they return my money). According to them, this "exclusive intelligence" will generate hedge fund returns. So generally speaking, are these "exclusive strategies" real? Or are they rip-offs? I can understand that there's no such thing as a free lunch, but I'm assuming that, since they're a reputable company, they are not planning to rip me off. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How do I get started trading equity options and futures? I have a quant background in hedging, so I'm not asking for guidance on how to learn modeling or developing strategies for trading options. I have work experience doing option valuation and developing dynamic replication strategies, but I have never done the trading. I want to start relatively small - I'm comfortable putting about $20K at risk. I would be looking to hedge options against options while trying to limit the amount of dynamic hedging. I expect that I'll need set up some margin in addition to any net option premium. Is $20K reasonable? Are there brokers specializing in options? Does anyone recommend CME, CBOE or other tools? (I know that some exchanges offer tools for subscription.) Thanks!

Hedging Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)? We bought a home last year and didn't think we'd stay in it for more than 5 years, so we financed with a 5/1 ARM at a low rate. We love the neighborhood and the house and now don't see ourselves moving for a very long time, if ever. I've heard of people moving to fixed rate products while rates are still relatively low, but I don't want to lose the very low rate we have locked in for the next four years. On the other hand, I'm concerned that rates could skyrocket and our mortgage payment would double. I'm looking for ideas for hedging against rising rates in the event we decide to stay in our house for the long term. One idea I've read about is to use equity in the house to take out a second fixed rate mortgage and used it to pay off the ARM if rates go against us. Another possibility is to invest in a mutual fund or derivative that would rise if interest rates rise. Please let me know if you have any ideas or strategies which may be helpful. Thanks

Do hedge funds beat the market or is it just marketing? Friends in investment banking tell me you cannot beat the risk adjusted market, along the random walk lines. Either: 1) Hedge funds create so many portfolios that a few of them work by chance and these are the ones they promote in the following years leaflets, i.e. pure marketing whereby they get rich on comissions 2) They actually have strategies that work but are so top secret that we may not hear about them for another 5 years, by which time it no longer works. Does anyone know the answer?
