The extent to which a hedge fund is vulnerable to changes in a given financial market. Exposure can be measured on a net or gross basis. Net exposure takes into account the benefits of offsetting long and short positions and is calculated by subtracting the percentage of the fund's equity capital invested in short sales from the percentage of its equity capital used for long positions. For example, if a fund is 125% long and 50% short, its net exposure would be 75%. Gross exposure is calculated by adding the percentage of the fund's equity invested in short sales to the percentage of its equity used for long positions. In both cases, the exposures often exceed 100% because they don't account for the use of leverage.

Exposure is not usually a statistical concept; it does not make any attempt to assess the probability of loss, it states only the amount at risk. For market-driven instruments (for example, stcks, foreign exchange, swaps, options, and derivatives), a proxy for exposure is estimated given the volatility of underlying market rates/prices.
