In Basics of Hedging Using Futures and Options, students will examine the use of exchange-traded derivative contracts to offset risk in the underlying cash market. Topics discussed will include the history and role of the exchange, the difference between the cash market and the futures market, futures contract specifications and settlement procedures, trade clearing and the margining process, as well as an introduction to price risk management. The course content will offer students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and understanding of how these contracts are used by a major contingent of the marketplace to mitigate risk exposure. The course will be taught by two instructors who have both an instructional background teaching these topics to industry groups as well as several years of practical experience managing price risk on behalf of clients. Students will be able to directly interact with the instructors and benefit from their combined theoretical/academic as well as practical hedging experience.
