What are Derivatives? And why should you invest in Derivatives?


Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on underlying assets such as stocks, indices, or gold. They are widely used for both hedging risks and seeking profit opportunities.

  • Hedging: If you hold many Thai stocks and worry the market might fall, you can open a Short Futures position to offset potential losses.
  • Speculation: You can profit in both rising and falling markets. For example, if you expect gold prices to drop, you can open a Short Futures position to benefit from the decline.

Derivatives require a lower initial investment than buying the underlying asset directly because they use a margin system with leverage. This increases profit potential but also carries higher risk.

Types of derivatives traded on TFEX

  • Futures: Contracts to buy or sell an underlying asset at a set price and date in the future. Examples include SET50 Index Futures, Single Stock Futures (SSF), and Block Trade, which involves large-volume SSF transactions for greater efficiency.
  • Options: Contracts that give the right but not the obligation to buy or sell an asset. Buyers pay a Premium for this right. If the market moves against them, they only lose the Premium. Beginners often start with Long Options as they offer unlimited profit, limited loss, and come with support tools like Option Wizard.
