Derivatives

Derivatives

  • Forward

  • Repo

  • Swap

  • Option

A derivative is a contract whose price and obligations are closely related to the value of the underlying asset. Derivatives are contracts and describe the obligations of the parties to comply with specific terms relating to the transfer of an underlying asset.

There are two main types of derivatives:

  • Current obligations (for example, futures);

  • Contingent obligations (such as options)

    The value of a derivative instrument indirectly depends on fluctuations in the price of the underlying asset. Derivatives are commonly used to hedge open positions, reduce the impact of price fluctuations, and for speculation.

Forward contracts

The over-the-counter version of a futures contract is called a forward contract. They are not traded on an exchange; rather, the terms are determined by the parties to the agreement.

Interest rate swaps are derivative contracts between two parties, often between a bank and a company. Both parties formulate terms that are not agreed upon in advance and may vary depending on the needs and risks of each party.

Repo contracts

Repo contracts (from the English repurchase agreement - repurchase agreement) is an agreement between two parties, according to which the seller agrees to sell a certain asset to the buyer, and the buyer agrees to resell the same asset back to the seller at a certain point in the future. Repurchase contracts are widely used in the financial sector, especially in the debt securities market, and are an important tool for managing liquidity and risk.

Swap contracts

Swap contracts are financial instruments that allow market participants to exchange payment streams associated with various financial instruments for a certain period of time.

The most common types of swap contracts are interest rate swaps and currency swaps.

An option

An option is a contract that gives the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset (for example, currency, stocks, futures) at a predetermined price and at a predetermined time.
