Introduction

Hedge.lu is a resource website aimed at providing relevant finance cases to professionals, academics, and students. There is much to learn from past history, and knowing precise events is a great ally in any argument.

The name "Hedge.lu" comes from two independent reasons and motives: the first one is that this domain was unused, whereas it looks and sounds great. The other half of the explanation is that most of the finance cases which have had a large impact on how we run a firm today from a financial standpoint involved huge failures in hedging programs. That makes Hedge.lu the perfect place to talk about such things!
