Hedging 101 for Credit Unions

In the business of buying and selling assets, hedging can be used as a vehicle to mitigate risk, oftentimes in the secondary mortgage market. But using hedging as a tactic to mitigate risk when selling a mortgage loan can seem a daunting process to undertake, especially as a credit union whose main book of business isn’t centered around selling loans in the secondary market.
