Course Overview
Learn everything about Level 1 CFA® exam derivatives: options, swaps, forwards and futures. Videos and questions.
A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the value of some underlying asset. There are a number of different assets that may serve as underlying assets for derivatives, for example stocks, stock indices, bonds, interest rates, exchange rates, commodities, other derivative instruments, and so on. Very often the change in the price of the underlying asset, say a share, affects the value of the derivative.

Teacher is knowledgeable and easy to follow. The use of graphics would be helpful and would make it a tad more interesting.
