PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH IN USE FOR FINANCE

35. DERIVATIVES

A

Options

Derivatives are financial products whose value depends on – or is
derived from – another financial product, such as a stock, a stock market
index, or interest rate payments. They can be used to manage the risks
associated with securities, to protect against fluctuations in value, or to
speculate. The main kinds of derivatives are options and swaps.

B

In-the-money
and out-of-the-money

Selling or
writing options contracts involves the obligation either to deliver or to
buy assets, if the buyer exercises the option – chooses to make the trade. For
this the seller (writer) receives a fee called premium from the buyer. But writers
of options do not expect them to be exercised.

C

Warrants and
swaps

Some
companies issue warrants which, like options, give the right, but not the
obligation, to buy stocks in the future at a particular price, probably
higher than the current market price. They are usually issued along with
bonds, but they can generally be detached from the bonds and traded
separately.
