Executive Summary
Market deregulation, growth in global trade, and continuing technological developments have
revolutionized the financial marketplace during the past two decades. A by-product of this revolution
is increased market volatility, which has led to a corresponding increase in demand for risk
management products. This demand is reflected in the growth of equity derivatives from the
standardized futures and options products of the 1970s to the wide spectrum of over-the-counter
(OTC) products offered and sold in the 1990s.
Equity derivatives come in many shapes and forms, including futures, forwards, swaps,
options, structured debt obligations and deposits, and various combinations thereof. Some are traded
on organized exchanges, whereas others are privately negotiated transactions. Derivatives have
become an integral part of the equity markets because they can serve several economic functions.
Derivatives can be used to reduce business risks, expand product offerings to customers, trade for
profit, manage capital and funding costs, and alter the risk-reward profile of a particular item or an
entire balance sheet. These events serve as a reminder of the importance of understanding the various
risk factors associated with business activities and establishing appropriate risk management systems
to identify, measure, monitor, and control exposure.
