English term

hedge desk

English to Portuguese Bus/Financial Human Resources empresa grande
é NOME DE CARGO



The term ‘Allocations’ is used here to indicate the combination of:

a) An external trade, typically used for hedging. ‘External’ meaning between the firm and a counterparty or exchange. E.g., an example would be a buy of 100 December future contracts for a certain commodity.



We’ll say the internal party (a.k.a., business unit) for this trade is ‘Hedge Desk’



b) and then a number of allocations to various internal trading desks (business units), such that the total volume of the external trade is fully allocated. i.e., the hedge desk is trading on behalf of the business units.



They submit their hedging requirements by commodity and by month and the hedge desk consolidated them and nets them. E.g., Business Unit #1 might want to buy 40 December future contracts and other business unit, #2, might want to sell 30 lots. So the hedge desk would buy on the exchange just the net of 10.

Discussion

Ana Vozone Feb 28, 2021:
Atenção pois o termo não designa um cargo/uma pessoa, mas tão simplesmente uma unidade, um serviço. O texto é bem explícito:

We’ll say the internal party (a.k.a., business unit) for this trade is ‘Hedge Desk’.

allocations to various internal trading desks (business units), such that the total volume of the external trade is fully allocated. i.e., the hedge desk is trading on behalf of the business units.

2 sugestões. Eu encontrei a segunda ("gestor de hedge desk") em um documento do Itaú em espanhol, mas acho que pode se aplicar perfeitamente ao contexto brasileiro.
