What are Futures Contracts?

A future is an exchange-traded instrument - a contractual agreement to buy or sell a specific instrument at a pre-determined price for delivery or cash settlement in the future. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying product and may call for physical delivery, or may be settled in cash.

Our Expertise

Futures contracts are one of the most fast-paced and sophisticated exchange-traded instruments available today, and are not necessarily appropriate for all investors. Managing this type of investment requires the work of dedicated and experienced professionals. At ScotiaMcLeod, we have several dedicated investment advisors and teams who successfully serve individual and commercial clients in this unique area of the financial services industry.

Leveraging a team of experts from across the Scotiabank Group, our futures specialists and their teams work with individual advisors, commercial and corporate banking, and others to identify whether or not a futures risk management or speculative strategy is appropriate for a client. Where they are deemed an appropriate strategy, our specialists help to integrate a customized futures contract strategy and ensure their overall plan stays on track.

Within our expertise we have several product groups, including:

  • Energy
  • Metals - Base & Precious
  • Currencies
  • Interest Rates
