Are derivatives suitable for everyday investors?
What are derivatives?
A derivative is a financial instrument whose price is derived from an underlying asset.
If we use options as an example, the value of stock options is based on the value of the underlying shares. Likewise, if you traded an option on a stock index, the value of that option would be based on the value of the index. As derivatives are typically contracts, you do not take ownership of the underlying asset until the expiry date of the contract, if at all.
Common derivatives include futures, options, swaps and CFDs.
Although derivatives are often used to hedge risk, they can also be used for speculative purposes.
