What is a Derivative?

Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their value from the performance of an underlying asset, or group of assets, or benchmark set between two or more parties that can trade on an exchange or over the counter (OTC). The underlying entity used can be assets like stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, interest rates, and market indices. The value of the underlying asset keeps changing according to market fluctuations or market conditions.
