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).

DEF

Contrat à terme négocié de gré à gré entre deux parties, les conditions pouvant être conçues sur mesure pour répondre aux besoins particuliers des contractants.

CONT

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).
