German term or phrase: Aktienabsicherung/Absicherung mit Aktient
Transaktionskostenvergleich der Futuresabsicherung und der Aktienabsicherung:

Für den Transaktionskostenvergleich haben wir mittlere Privatanlegerkonditionen zugrunde gelegt. Es sei erwähnt, dass die Kosten für institutionelle Anleger ca. die Hälfte betragen.
Es wurden Aktien im Gegenwert von EUR xyz verkauft und am xx.xx.xxx wurden Aktien im Gegenwert von EUR xyz zurückgekauft. Bei einem Provisionssatz von 0,25 % je Seite betragen die Transaktionskosten der Absicherung mit Aktien EUR xyz.
Insgesamt wurden 28 Future-Kontrakte ge- oder verkauft. Bei angenommenen Kosten von 10 EUR/Kontrakt belaufen sich die Kosten auf EUR 280.

Explanation:
The basic Aktienabsicherung (against the potential decline of an issue you own) would be the purchase of a 'protective put'.


In the futures market, you basically 'hedge' a position with a 'spread' (vertical spreads, calendar spreads, butterfly spreads and many more). Too involved to go into detail.


So, Aktienabsicherung = hedging with a protective put

Futuresabsicherung = hedging with a spread

agree  Ralf Lemster: "hedge using equities", but I have doubts if the German term is accurate

neutral  Ralf Lemster: Agreed about the protective put - but how do you create a vertical spread using futures...?
