Abstract

Today, core of the individual and institutional decisions are mainly finance and economics related thereby in today's world the most important success and performance indicators are financial results. Concepts which are called as change or innovation found themselves throughs derivative products in financial markets. Basically, the instruments that are known as forwards, futures, options and swaps have left their mark in last 20 years. However, after the 2008 financial crisis, these products have been labeled as toxic, complex or speculative and held solely responsible for the crisis. Whereas, first appearance of the derivative products was directed toward hedging and risk management. Therefore, objective of this study is to academically explain basic operating principles of financial derivative markets from conceptual and functioning point of view, to understand their places in world financial markets and to analyze their pricing examples. In this way, we aim to help students, academicians, and researchers make better assessment of derivative products.
