Futures

Finally. Full service retail futures brokerage.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at some future point in time at a predetermined price. Contracts are traded on recognized exchanges and thus are standardized with respect to delivery time and place, and the quantity and quality of the underlying asset.

For corporations, when used correctly and sensibly, futures contracts can be very effective and absolutely necessary risk management tools. Corporations use futures contracts as part of their risk management strategy to manage fluctuations in cash flows, accounting earnings, and to minimize financial distress.  Futures contracts can serve to reduce a firm’s exposure to commodity price risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and stock market volatility.

For individual investors, futures contracts can be very powerful speculation tools. They afford investors ease of entry and exit into markets to trade assets that could not realistically be traded anywhere else.  Futures contracts facilitate the use of leverage and challenge investors to pit their ability to analyze markets against the ability of everyone else.

If you are a corporation that is required to manage the risks associated with your business or a private investor interested in buying and selling futures contracts to gain pure exposure to commodity, interest rate, currency or financial index movements, the Burak Hannon Brojde Group can design solutions exclusively for you.
