US Capital Private Bank – Investment Knowledge Base


📘 What Are Options & Derivatives?

Options and derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived from underlying assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, or market indexes. These instruments enable investors to hedge risk, speculate on price movements, or enhance portfolio returns through strategic positions.


⚙️ Types of Derivatives Commonly Traded

  • Options: Contracts granting the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a specified price before or on a set date.

  • Futures: Agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a future date.

  • Swaps: Contracts exchanging cash flows or financial instruments between parties, such as interest rate or currency swaps.

  • Forwards: Customized contracts similar to futures but traded over-the-counter (OTC).


🎯 Why Trade Options & Derivatives?

  • Risk Management: Hedge against price fluctuations and portfolio risks.

  • Leverage: Control larger positions with a smaller capital outlay.

  • Income Generation: Use strategies like covered calls to earn premiums.

  • Speculation: Take positions on expected price movements for potential gains.


⚠️ Risks Involved

  • Complexity: Derivatives can be complex and require a sophisticated understanding.

  • Leverage Risk: Amplifies both gains and losses, potentially resulting in significant losses.

  • Market Risk: Subject to volatility and unexpected market moves.

  • Liquidity Risk: Some derivatives may be difficult to exit or value accurately.
