FAQ
Equity Contract means a contract which is valued on the basis of the value of underlying equities or equity indices and includes related derivative contracts.
The forwards vs. futures distinction lies in their trading methods, as forwards are traded over the counter while futures are traded on an exchange. Futures contracts are traded on exchanges and are standardized and regulated.
Forward Contracts can broadly be classified as 'Fixed Date Forward Contracts' and 'Option Forward Contracts'. In Fixed Date Forward Contracts, the buying/selling of foreign exchange takes place at a specified future date i.e. a fixed maturity date.
An example of a forward contract would be a trader who enters into a contract to buy 10 million U.S. dollars in exchange for euros, at a rate of 1.2030, with settlement to occur in three months.
Let's consider an example to understand how a Forward Rate Agreement works. Suppose Party A enters into a 6-month FRA with Party B. The notional amount is $1 million, and the reference interest rate is 5%. The forward rate agreed upon is 6%.
