Suppose that a client has entered into an equity forward contract with a bank. The client (long side) agrees to buy 400 shares of a publicly listed company for US$ 100 per share from the bank (short side) on a specified expiration date one year in the future.
To be enforceable, the contract must be entered into voluntarily, have clearly agreed upon terms and conditions and demonstrate the exchange of “consideration”. Clearly agreed upon terms refers to the idea that everyone understands the nature of the deal being made.
Forward contracts trade in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, meaning they do not trade on an exchange. 1 When a forward contract expires, the transaction is settled in one of two ways.
Today, forward contracts can be for any commodity, in any amount, and delivered at any time. Due to the customization of these products they are traded over-the-counter (OTC) or off-exchange. These types of contracts are not centrally cleared and therefore have a higher rate of default risk.
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.
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.
