    • Learn basics of option contracts: Microsec

      The previous two sessions on “Knowledge Center: Learning Derivatives” explained the concepts of Future & Option contracts. This session elaborates further on Option contracts. An option contract is a contract which gives one party the right to buy or sell the underlying asset on a future date at a pre-determined price (called the strike price).

    • What is Speculation/Hedging/Arbitrage?

      In “Knowledge Center: Learning Derivatives - Session I”, we gave a brief introduction of derivative contracts. What are forward and future contracts? What is the difference between the two? How they can be used for hedging and speculative purposes? What are Call and Put Options and how they permit non-linear payoffs… and so on.
