Derivative exposure refers to the risk associated with financial derivatives, which are instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset, index, or benchmark. This exposure arises from fluctuations in the prices of the underlying assets, potentially leading to gains or losses for the holder of the derivative. It can be used for hedging purposes to mitigate risk or for speculation to profit from price movements. Managing derivative exposure is crucial for investors and institutions to maintain financial stability.
