A financial market acts as the intermediary between the investors willing to invest their money and the companies needing the money to expand their business. The size of the financial markets varies across economies, wherein it is relatively smaller in developing nations but large and organized in the world’s developed economies, like NASDAQ. Nevertheless, irrespective of their size, their contribution to the economy remains the same globally. The essential function of a financial market is to connect investors and borrowers. Thus, it links the two, and the market earns some commission for providing the bridge. They ensure transactions are smooth.The trust of the investors drives the financial markets. Hence, the regulation of financial markets ensures that the investors are always protected. The financial markets are governed by rules & regulations that differ for each market.The financial intermediaries are banks, NBFCs, stock exchanges, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokers to these companies, etc. These facilitate the trade between the parties.The financial markets are readily available for both parties. However, the timing of each financial market differs as per the type of market.The financial market includes securities that are marketable as well as which are non-marketable. Investors trade non-marketable securities, such as fixed deposits in banks, post office investments, or private loans, over the counter (OTC) rather than on an exchange. On the other hand, marketable securities such as stocks and bonds are traded over an exchange.Investors may have short-term, medium-term, or long-term perceptions. Therefore, if a financial market can meet the needs of every type of investor, it is considered effective.Also, the financial market should be effective enough to reward the investor based on the risk the investor assumes.The online Financial Markets and Products tutorials would help you:Understand what Derivatives are and how this market works.In depth learn the types of Derivative instrumentsComprehensive understanding of the Options contract and the strategies involved.To design alternative derivatives-Options strategies that would be appropriate for different situations and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each.Mechanics of futures marketsHedging strategies using futuresInterest ratesDetermination of forward and future pricesInterest rate futuresSwapsProperties of stock optionsTrading strategies involving optionsBank| Insurance| Fund Management| Derivatives| Futures| Markets| Forex| Options| Interest Rates| Bonds| Mortgage etc
