Derivatives

Definition of Derivatives as it relates to Finance

Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset, index, or event. These contracts can be used for hedging risk, speculating on price movements, or generating income. The underlying asset can be a stock, bond, commodity, currency, interest rate, or other financial instrument. Derivatives can take many forms, including options, futures, swaps, and forwards. They can be traded over-the-counter (OTC) or on organized exchanges. Derivatives can provide flexibility and leverage to investors, but they also come with risks, such as counterparty risk and liquidity risk. Therefore, it is important for investors to understand the terms and conditions of derivative contracts before entering into them.
