Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Derivative : A derivative is a contract whose value depends on an underlying asset, transferring risk between parties rather than creating value itself.
  • Forward contract : A forward contract is an OTC agreement to buy or sell an asset at a specified forward price on a future date with both parties obligated to perform.
  • Futures contract : A futures contract is an exchange-traded standardized forward that is settled daily via a clearing house using mark-to-market.
  • Options contract : An options contract gives the holder a right but not an obligation to buy or sell at strike price K, with an upfront premium and an asymmetric payoff.
  • Call option : A call option is the right to buy the underlying at strike price K, making it profitable when the underlying finishes above K plus the premium.
