I don't hedge. I don't invest in the markets. I only trade them. So I have nothing to protect for a long term capital gain. I don't care about taxes, they are what they are. But if I was going to hedge, the future that comes closest to the sector your investments are in. Futures have about 10 to 1 leverage, they expire every quarter. So there are going to be taxes no matter what. But futures are taxed differently. While short-term capital gains from stocks or ETFs are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, futures are taxed using the 60/40 rule: 60% are taxed at the long-term capital gains tax rate of 15%, while only 40% of your short-term capital gains are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.
