Equity Derivatives

Equity derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the price movements of stocks or equity indices. They allow investors to hedge risk, speculate on price changes, or enhance returns without owning the actual stocks. Common types include options and futures, which provide strategic ways to manage exposure or profit from market fluctuations. These instruments are used by institutions and experienced investors to optimize portfolio performance or manage risk, offering flexible tools linked directly to the performance of equity markets.
