Derivative

A derivative is a financial instrument that has no intrinsic value but it rather derives its value from some other financial instrument, asset, index, exchange rate etc. CFDs, options, swaps, forwards and futures are a few examples of derivative contracts. The value of the derivatives market has been increasing exponentially, with the particulars of the contracts becoming ever more complex.
