Features and benefits

Derivatives trading solutions including warrants, options and futures offer the potential to profit from your view of future price fluctuations (both rises and falls) without holding actual shares or assets.

What are derivatives?

Derivatives are a particular type of trading product which allow you to trade on your view of future price fluctuations without holding actual shares or assets.

Derivatives offer the potential to earn higher returns (at greater risk) or protect the value of your existing shareholdings depending on how they are used.

Derivatives offer increased leverage or exposure to a share or asset, which means they provide the opportunity for higher returns (at greater risk) from a lower initial outlay than you would otherwise achieve by holding the underlying share or asset.

Because derivatives enable you to benefit from both rises and falls in market prices, they can be used by investors as a risk management tool to protect the value of their shareholdings from adverse market movements.

We can connect you with a comprehensive range of derivatives products.

We are committed to providing appropriate investment opportunities and financial solutions for each clients individual needs. In doing so, we source a wide range of solutions both from within Macquarie and from other leading providers in Australia and around the world.
