Overview: This paper describes how futures and options on futures can provide attractive investment opportunities for hedge funds. These funds employ numerous strategies using the futures and options markets, including traditional hedging, overlay and income enhancement. In fact, hedge funds have become an influential force in the currency, and fixed income markets and are the fastest growing pool of foreign exchange product users. For example, to protect the value of a fixed income portfolio, a hedge fund may use futures and options on futures on U.S. Treasury bills and Eurodollars.
