number4, Futures, forward swaps and options.

The contracts on the underlying assets (equities, commodities, foreign currency, credit risk - asset type, growing very fast) - those contracts are forwards, futures, swaps, and options - the last kind is the most versatile one and it allows for the multiple actions in hedging the portfolio's risk. 

The derivatives types, which in my opinion are the best to hedge the risk away with, are options and swaps - they offer the variety of ways to make money off practically any asset, regardless of whether it's price is rising or falling. The key is just to manage the portfolio wisely - get in there the right combo of the assets and derivatives.
