Resumen

Este artículo académico examina los instrumentos fderivados, su papel en los mercados financieros y los riesgos asociados. Los derivados, como las opciones, los contratos a plazo y los futuros, han ganado cada vez más popularidad debido a su potencial de cobertura, eficiencia del mercado y oportunidades de inversión. El artículo analiza las razones detrás del crecimiento del uso de derivados, incluidas las economías de escala y la interdependencia entre los mercados de futuros, spot y opciones. Además, enfatiza la importancia de los derivados en las decisiones de inversión, la reducción de riesgos y la especulación para empresas e inversores. Se define el concepto de derivados, destacando su dependencia del valor de los activos subyacentes. El artículo explora además diferentes tipos de riesgos, incluidos los riesgos sistemáticos y no sistemáticos, y enfatiza la necesidad de estrategias de gestión de riesgos en el comercio de derivados. También profundiza en los contratos de futuros, explicando su desarrollo histórico y los elementos estandarizados que abarcan. Se examinan los roles de los diferentes participantes del mercado, como los hedgers, los especuladores y los arbitrajistas, junto con la función crucial de las cámaras de compensación para facilitar las transacciones de derivados. El artículo concluye discutiendo los métodos de cálculo de precios para contratos de futuros, considerando factores como los costos de almacenamiento, las tasas de interés y los rendimientos de conveniencia. La metodología de investigación implica un análisis teórico de los instrumentos derivados, sus mercados y riesgos, complementado con ejemplos prácticos. En general, este artículo proporciona información valiosa sobre el marco teórico que rodea a los derivados, mejorando nuestra comprensión de su importancia en los sistemas financieros modernos.
