Reading 68: Derivative Markets and Instruments

LOS a: Define a derivative and differentiate between exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives.

 

 

Which of the following is most accurate regarding derivatives?

A)
Derivative values are based on the value of another security, index, or rate.
B)
Exchange-traded derivatives are created and traded by dealers in a market with no central location.
C)
Derivatives have no default risk.


 

Derivatives “derive” their value from the value or return of another asset or security. Exchange-traded derivatives are standardized and backed by a clearinghouse. An over-the-counter derivative, such as a forward contract or a swap, exposes the derivative holder to the risk that the counterparty may default.

Over-the- counter derivatives:

A)
are customized contracts.
B)
have good liquidity in the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
C)
are backed by the OTC Clearinghouse.


OTC derivative contracts (securities) are customized and have poor liquidity. The contract is with a specific counterparty and there is default risk since there is no clearinghouse to guarantee performance.
