A derivative is a contract between two or more parties whose value is based on an agreed-upon underlying financial asset (like a security) or set of assets (like an index). Common underlying instruments include bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, market indexes, and stocks. Derivative definition: Financial derivatives are contracts that ‘derive’ their value from the market performance of an underlying asset. Instead of the actual asset being exchanged, agreements are made that involve the exchange of cash or other assets for the underlying asset within a certain specified timeframe.
