Default Re: options (finance)

i run a derivatives desk at a hedge fund...if people care, i can answer specific questions...

How does your fund use options? Just to hedge off stock positions in the port or do they trade the options outright?

How much of the fund's total return is expected to be earned by the derivatives desk?

Do you take positions and just use the options for greater leverage? Or do you buy and sell volatility?
