Expert Insights on Hedging & Derivatives

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on an underlying value of an asset such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, and market indexes. A derivative is a contract between two or more parties and is primarily used to hedge risk. The market value of the derivative depends on the performance of the underlying asset. The most common types of derivatives are futures contracts, forward contracts, options, and swaps.
