*WHAT DOES A DERIVATIVES BROKER DO?

 *A derivatives broker is an investment professional who advises individuals and corporations about how to buy, trade, and     sell derivatives. Most of the time, brokers work in brokerage firms where they are a part of a derivative investment team. The     day-to-day life of a derivatives broker can vary, depending on the client. Brokers negotiate deals between entities for derivative     swaps, research international investment opportunities, counsel individual investors, and analyze corporate asset portfolios to     calculate how much a company should risk in the derivatives market. His or her main job is to present options to a client, help     the client make a decision on how to proceed, and execute the final choice.

 *Often referred to as “alternative investments,” derivatives require a different approach than would traditional stocks and    bonds. In most cases, stocks and bonds represent tangible shares of a corporation, and they signify real ownership, even if just of   a very small piece. Derivatives, on the other hand, represent the possibility of future growth. Also known as “futures” or “options,”   derivatives are financial agreements that gain or lose value based on the possibility of growth, sales, or some other profit-  garnering event later on in time.
