In addition to trading opportunities, investors may hedge their risk at the cash equity market through stock index
and single stock contracts. The Derivatives Market also offers efficient hedging tools for companies to manage
their currency risk. Besides, precious metals and energy futures meet different trading or hedging needs of inves-
tors.
All these different products may be reached by a single account at an intermediary institution. USDTRY currency
contracts are both settled in cash and physically delivered. Government bond futures and single stock contracts are
physically settled at maturity, while the other contracts are settled in cash. The contracts have standard
end-of-month expiry dates, however, the investors themselves may create flexible contracts by choosing maturity
date for futures and options and choosing strike price for options.
The positions are held and marked to market daily by Takasbank at the account level.
