Forwards. Transactions in forwards involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle your position in cash without delivery of the underlying asset. The seller of a forward contract must deliver the agreed price which can be considerably below the then market price in the case of rising prices. The purchaser of a forward contract on the other hand must accept delivery at the agreed price in the case of falling prices. In both cases, the risk lies in the difference between the agreed price and the market price. This risk is not determinable in advance and can exceed any collateral provided.

Forwards. A forward contract is an agreement made today between a buyer and seller to exchange the commodity or instrument for cash at a predetermined future date at a price agreed upon today. The agreed upon price is called the ‘forward price’. With a forward market the transfer of ownership occurs on the spot, but delivery of the commodity or instrument does not occur until some future date. In a forward contract, two parties agree to do a trade at some future date, at a stated price and quantity. No money changes hands at the time the deal is signed. For example, a wheat farmer may wish to contract to sell their harvest at a future date to eliminate the risk of a change in prices by that date. Such transaction would take place through a forward market. Forward contracts are not traded on an exchange, they are said to trade over the counter (OTC). The quantities of the underlying asset and terms of contract are fully negotiable. The secondary market does not exist for the forward contracts and faces the problems of liquidity and negotiability.

Forwards. While futures and forward contracts are both a contract to deliver a commodity on a future date, key differences include: Futures are always traded on an exchange, whereas forwards always trade over-the-counter, or can simply be a signed contract between two parties. Futures are highly standardized, whereas each forward is unique The price at which the contract is finally settled is different: Futures are settled at the settlement price fixed on the last trading date of the contract (i.e. at the end) Forwards are settled by the delivery of the commodity at the specified contract price. The credit risk of futures is much lower than that of forwards: Traders are not subject to credit risk because the clearinghouse always takes the other side of the trade. The day's profit or loss on a futures position is marked-to-market in the trader's account. If the mark to market results in a balance that is less than the margin requirement, then the trader is issued a margin call. The risk of a forward contract is that the supplier will be unable to deliver the grade and quantity of the commodity, or the buyer may be unable to pay for it on the delivery day. In case of physical delivery, the forward contract specifies to whom to make the delivery. The counterparty on a futures contract is chosen randomly by the exchange. In a forward there are no cash flows until delivery, whereas in futures there are margin requirements and a daily mark to market of the traders' accounts. Who trades futures? Futures traders are traditionally placed in one of two groups: hedgers, who have an interest in the underlying commodity and are seeking to hedge out the risk of price changes; and speculators, who seek to make a profit by predicting market moves and buying a commodity "on paper" for which they have no practical use. Hedgers typically include producers and consumers of a commodity. For example, in traditional commodities markets farmers often sell futures contracts for the crops and livestock they produce to guarantee a certain price, making it easier for them to plan. Similarly, livestock producers often purchase futures to cover their feed costs, so that they can plan on a fixed cost for feed. In modern (financial) markets, "producers" of interest rate swaps or equity derivative products will use financial futures or equity index futures to reduce or remove the risk on the swap. The social utility of futures markets is considered to be mainly in the transfer of risk, and increase...

Forwards. The value of a forward contract at the time it is first entered into is zero. At a later stage it may prove to have a positive or negative value. Suppose that f is the value today of a long forward contract that has a delivery price of K and hat F0 is the current forward price for the contract. A general result, applicable to a forward contract on either an investment or consumption asset, is: f = (F0 − K) e−r·T

  • Futures Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the Investment Adviser’s position with cash from a Portfolio or elsewhere. Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The “gearing” or “leverage” often obtainable in futures trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of the Investment Adviser’s investment, and this can work against the Investment Adviser as well as for the Investment Adviser. Futures transactions have a contingent liability, and the Investment Adviser should be aware of the implications of this, in particular the margining requirements, which are described in paragraph 7.2 below.
