What Is the Goal of a “Gamma-Neutral” Position?

The goal of a Gamma-neutral position is to stabilize the Delta of a portfolio. By having a total Gamma of zero, the portfolio's Delta will not change rapidly in response to small movements in the underlying asset's price.

This reduces the need for frequent re-hedging, lowering transaction costs and making the Delta-neutral position more robust over a wider range of price movements.
