Derivative Agreement • August 31st, 2020

In finance, a derivative is a financial instrument derived from some other asset; rather than trade or exchange of the asset itself, market participants enter into an agreement to exchange money, assets or some other value at some future date based on the underlying asset. A simple example is a futures contract: an agreement to exchange the underlying asset (or equivalent cash flows) at a future date. The exact terms of the derivative (the payments between the counterparties) depend on, but may or may not exactly correspond to, the behaviour or performance of the underlying asset.
