Форварный контракт: что это такое, примеры, виды, преимущества и недостатки

Цена и дата расчета форварда устанавливаются в момент заключения контракта. Дата расчетов по каждому форварду остается неизменной, то есть все форвардные контракты на конкретный базовый актив рассчитываются в день истечения срока действия контракта. Остальные параметры актива (количество, качество, упаковка, маркировка и т. п.) оговорены заранее в спецификации биржевого контракта и являются стандартными для данной торговой площадки.

Исполнение фьючерсного контракта[править править код]

Дериватив используют, чтобы свести к минимуму влияние волатильности рынка, которая может существенно повлиять на цену базового актива. Снижение волатильности становится возможным, поскольку условия контракта остаются неизменными вплоть до истечения срока действия инвестиции в серебро соглашения, что избавляет актив от опасности ценовых колебаний. Во внебиржевой торговле часто используется такой инструмент, как форвард (Forward contract). Он представляет собой договор, который между собой заключают 2 стороны (продавец и покупатель).

Наименование фьючерсного контракта

Однако фьючерсные договоры заключают, когда посредником между сторонами выступает биржа. Обычный размер гарантийного обеспечения колеблется в диапазоне от 2% до 10% от номинальной суммы пакета фьючерсов (бывает и выше), что позволяет вести торговлю с плечом. Общее обеспечение под пакет фьючерсов одного вида равно гарантийному обеспечению одного фьючерса, умноженному на их количество. Покупатель (владелец) опциона может использовать свое право покупать или продавать базовый актив, а может этого и не делать. Напротив, продавец опциона (лицо, выпустившее инструмент) несет жесткие обязательства по продаже или покупке базового актива, согласно требованиям собственника контракта. В качестве базового актива фьючерса может быть использован практически любой вид разных товаров или финансовых инструментов.

Персональные инструменты

Как правило, спекулянты не заинтересованы в поставке активов и вместо этого выбирают наличный расчет. Развернутое название – форвардный контракт (английское forward contract). Итак, хотя форварды и фьючерсы позволяют инвесторам торговать фьючерсными активами, различия в их спецификации предоставляют различные преимущества и риски. Форварды предлагают гибкость в настройке сделки, что такое страны-члены семерки но ограничивают инвестора в отношении исполнения и установки цены. С другой стороны, фьючерсы обеспечивают прозрачность, ликвидность и возможность использования кредитного плеча, однако их стандартизированный характер не соответствует потребностям всех трейдеров. При выборе между форвардами и фьючерсами, инвесторы должны учитывать свои цели, потребности и уровень опыта.

ТОП 10 паттернов Технического анализа [форекс, криптовалют, фондового рынка]

«В ряде случаев для совершения сделки с фьючерсом потребуется сумма больше, чем размер гарантийного обеспечения. В случае, если при открытии позиции на вашем счете не хватит рублей под обеспечение, брокер спишет недостающую сумму в долг по маржинальному кредитованию» («Тинькофф»). Стандартизованная форма форварда, адаптированная под биржевую торговлю. Полное наименование – фьючерсный контракт (английское futures contract). Традиционные форварды имеют поставочный и, как правило, небиржевой тип. Обычно, цена сделки фиксируется заранее, на дату ее заключения и именуется форвардной ценой.

Предположим, вы купили 100 фьючерсов на тростниковый сахар по цене 20 долларов за контракт. Поставщик нанял дополнительных сотрудников и закупил новое оборудование, что позволило увеличить объемы производства тростникового сахара. Теперь 100 контрактов стоят 10 долларов за единицу, а вы потеряли 1000 долларов. Фьючерсный контракт представляет собой общедоступное соглашение. Чаще всего такой торговый инструмент задействован в нескольких секторах экономики.

В настоящий момент он покупает фрукты, скажем, манго по 5 долларов за фунт у одного и того же поставщика «Райский остров». Текущая рыночная цена его вполне устраивает, позволяя поддерживать выгодную маржу при продаже фруктовых десертов. Срок погашения форвардов истекает при поставке базового актива (например, товаров — кукурузы или нефти). Когда рынок «штормит», биржа может повысить размер гарантийного обеспечения. Если на счете недостаточно денег, брокер может принудительно закрыть какую-нибудь позицию в портфеле, чтобы восполнить денежный баланс, — это называется «маржин-колл».

  2. Опцион — это договор, согласно которому покупатель опциона получает право купить или продать какой-то актив в определенный срок по заранее оговоренной цене.

  4. Помимо них, для российских трейдеров доступны и некоторые зарубежные брокеры, такие как Captrader, Exante, TDameritrade, Saxo, IB.

При сделке с фьючерсами, участник рынка вносит на обеспечение 2-3% суммы, а не полную стоимость актива. Отличием форвардных контрактов от обычных кассовых может выступать природа наличия или отсутствия предмета продажи на момент заключения контракта. Например, продавец обязуется в первую очередь сам перед собой произвести или закупить этот товар к дате договоренности. Он может еще не находиться в его собственности на момент подписания контракта. Также отсутствует необходимость предварительного просмотра образцов партии товара, так как их может еще не быть.

Залоговые платежи обязательны даже для процентных фьючерсов. Поскольку фьючерсы переоцениваются по рынку каждый день, легко оценить ежедневную прибыль или убыток по базовому активу. Таким образом покупатель берет на себя обязательство купить базовый актив на согласованных условиях, а продавец обязуется поставить его в срок. Фьючерсом называется производная ценная бумага, обращающаяся на бирже, на срочном рынке. Это договор между продавцом и покупателем о поставке базового актива в будущем по цене, которая определяется в момент заключения сделки.

На Московской Бирже – Национальным Клиринговым Центром, НКО НКЦ (АО). Гарантийное обеспечение фьючерса (ГО) – минимальная сумма, которую должен внести на биржевой счет участник срочных торгов для открытия длинных или коротких позиций по фьючерсам. Различают три главных производных финансовых инструмента – форвард, фьючерс и опцион. Биржа оставляет за собой право увеличивать ставки гарантийного обеспечения.

Например, участники договариваются, что продавец получает право реализовать свои акции через полгода по установленной цене. Продавец тем самым фиксирует для себя текущую стоимость актива на срок контракта. В будущем, если котировки акций упадут, он сможет продать акции по старой цене, будто падения не было. Если же котировки вырастут — выгоднее не исполнять опцион, а продать акции напрямую на бирже. В этом случае продавец потеряет только премию опциона, которую он заплатил при заключении контракта.

Только в реальности фьючерсные контракты заключаются на бирже, а продают так не шелк, а акции, валюты и сырье. Форвардные контракты выбирается вследствие необходимости экономии и достижения некоторого уровня анонимности. Оно представляет с собой частное соглашение между сторонами о стоимости, размере и том, какой базовый актив будет продаваться или покупаться. Также стоит отметить, что процесс обмена производится в конце срока. В поисках ликвидного инструмента выделяется именно фьючерсный контракт, который выполняется на биржах. Также такой вариант обладает высокой степенью защиты от рисков, но при этом за такое удовольствие стоит переплатить высокую цену на комиссионные и иные сборы.

Оба инструмента являются сделками в будущем, предусматривающими покупку или продажу активов по заранее оговоренной цене и на заранее определенную дату. Они позволяют застраховаться от потерь, уменьшить риски и создать стабильность в бизнесе. Условия по форвардной сделке могут быть отражены в одном соглашении — без каких-либо спецификаций. Фьючерс — это договор, который заключается между двумя инвесторами, о покупке или продаже ценных бумаг через определенный период.

Теперь о том, почему же все основное время цена на базовый актив и цена на фьючерс разные. Разница в том, что цена на базовый актив — это цена сейчас, а цена на фьючерс — это прогнозная цена на базовый актив потом, к дате исполнения фьючерса. И здесь уже, в зависимости от ожиданий либо других факторов, эта цена будет либо больше, либо меньше цены базового актива. Форвард – исторически первый производный финансовый инструмент. Еще в далеком прошлом они давали возможность заключить договоры на будущий урожай.

Благодаря им можно заранее планировать бюджет и объем производства, снизить влияние колебаний рынка на свой бизнес и сделать доход стабильным и предсказуемым. Участники срочной секции фондовой биржи (срочной биржи) вносят необходимые суммы гарантийного обеспечения и открывают позиции по выбранным фьючерсам. Вариационная маржа – сумма, на которую увеличивается/уменьшается остаток по счету (прибыль/убыток) участника фьючерсных торгов по открытым позициям https://fxglossary.org/ из-за текущего изменения стоимости фьючерсов. Фьючерсными контрактами можно торговать, применяя кредитное плечо и не обращаясь за займом в виде ценных бумаг к брокеру. Это одно из важных, но не единственное различие между фьючерсом и акцией, вытекающее из “контрактной” природы данного инструмента. Рассмотрим пример фьючерса на покупку 100 (ста) акций компании А.Допустим, 1 мая инвестор приобретает на бирже пакет из десяти таких фьючерсов.

Horizontal Analysis is performed by placing multiple years’ worth of data lined up next to each other and then graphing the data points to determine if there is a trend, and where it is going. All of the amounts on the balance sheets and the income statements for analysis will be expressed as a percentage of the base year amounts. The amounts from the most recent years will be divided by the base year amounts.

With different bits of calculated information now embedded into the financial statements, it’s time to analyze the results. The identification of trends and patterns is driven by asking specific, guided questions. For example, upper https://www.online-accounting.net/what-is-the-matching-principle-in-accounting/ management may ask “how well did each geographical region manage COGS over the past four quarters?”. This type of question guides itself to selecting certain horizontal analysis methods and specific trends or patterns to seek out.

For example, let’s take the case of the income statement – if the gross profit in year 1 was US$40,000 and in year 2 the gross profit was US$44,000, the difference between the two is $4,000. Depending on which accounting period an analyst starts from and how many accounting periods are chosen, the current period can be made to appear unusually good or bad.
