As yet, single stock futures are still in their infancy, but they now represent the most exciting new product launch within the equity derivatives arena. They have a multiplicity of advantages for many traders and investors, being cheap, easy to understand, and a highly efficient use of capital to enhance investor opportunities.
Single Stock Futures is a practical, easy-to-read and comprehensive guide that will help traders and investors understand and utilise this innovative and exciting product.
“SSFs have been portrayed…as a new stage in the evolution of financial derivatives – which is certainly the case. But they could be more than that: they could radically alter the dynamics of equity investing…The possibilities are huge, but as yet only dimly perceived.”
From Single Stock Futures – The Ultimate Derivative , written by David Lascelles for the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation.
