How can derivatives be used to reduce risk?

The establishment of the derivative was caused by government intervention into capital markets in the form of exccess laws, regulations, and subsidies; when this occured, it made the marketplace more unstable by adding the variable of government policy and action. When government is able to usurp control over equities, portfolio's, and other tangible assets, traders developed abstract alternative investements as a hedge against this risk by allowing bets on the movement and health of said assets.The derivative allows the user to hedge or mitigate risk in an underlying asset, wether it be equities, foreign exchange, interest, commodity, or credit.

What is an embedded derivative?

A component of a hybrid security that is embedded in a non-derivative instrument. An embedded derivative can modify the cash flows of the host contract because the derivative can be related to an exchange rate, commodity price or some other variable which frequently changes. For example, a Canadian company might enter into a sales contract with a Chinese company, creating a host contract. If the contract is denominated in a foreign currency, such as the U.S. dollar, an embedded foreign currency derivative is created. According to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the embedded derivative has to be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately unless the economic and risk characteristics of both the embedded derivative and host contract are closely related.
