Futures

 

A financial instrument used as price insurance for another investment.

Mutual fund companies will often use futures to protect their stock holdings in the event of a decline. This price insurance will only work if insured before the market declines.

Some speculators use futures not for insurance, but as a way of trading. Futures are highly leveraged and can create spectacular gains or utterly devastating losses.
