What is a Futures Contract?

A Future is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular commodity or financial instrument at a pre-determined price on a specific date in the future.

Futures contracts can derive from a variety of assets, from traditional commodities like corn and wheat, to different asset classes like government bonds, interest rates, energy and stock indices

Transparent Pricing

Futures are highly liquid exchange traded financial instruments, meaning individuals can trade on tight spreads. The transaction costs are comparatively low and their pricing is transparent due to the level of specificity found in Futures Contracts, as well as the regulations imposed by the various exchanges.
