Being OTC securities, forwards are non-standardized and can easily be customized through negotiation by the parties involved. There is no initial cash outlay for engaging in the contract and the customer is obligated to settle with the original counterparty. There is no clearinghouse for the transaction and secondary markets for forwards are thin(if they exist at all). 6, record 2, English, - over%2Dthe%2Dcounter%20forward%20contract

Les contrats à terme simples ne sont pas normalisés et peuvent facilement être adaptés durant les négociations entre les deux parties. Aucun versement initial n'est requis pour conclure le contrat mais le client est tenu de traiter avec la contrepartie originale. Aucun organisme central ne s'occupe de la transaction et les marchés secondaires pour ce type de contrat à terme sont relativement rares (quand ils existent). 4, record 2, French, - contrat%20%C3%A0%20terme%20de%20gr%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20gr%C3%A9

This is attractive but not unique. Other assets boast low correlations with securities. One reason why returns on derivatives funds are eccentric is that they include futures and options on commodities; physical goods like oil or copper tend to do better than paper assets when inflation rises unexpectedly. 1, record 3, English, - derivatives%20fund

Les autorités britanniques se sont donc montrées d'une prudence de Sioux en accordant l'autorisation de lancer des fonds en produits dérivés. Car contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser, il n'existait jusqu'ici aucun fonds de ce type en Grande-Bretagne même : c'est sous le statut [off-shore] qu'opéraient leurs promoteurs anglais. 1, record 3, French, - fonds%20en%20produits%20d%C3%A9riv%C3%A9s
