2 guides in Finabase Learn
- Derivatives explained: forwards, futures, options and swaps What a derivative is, how the four basic contracts differ, notional value, hedging versus speculation, counterparty risk and clearing, with worked dollar examples.
- Settlement The final step of a trade, when the buyer’s cash and the seller’s securities actually change hands; most US stock trades settle one business day later (T+1).
Educational content, not investment advice. Finabase Learn explains how markets and tools work. It does not recommend any security or strategy, and examples are for illustration only. Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Rules and figures are for the United States unless stated and can change — check the cited source before you act.
