A forward-based contract in which two parties agree to exchange streams of payments for a specified period of time is known as a "swap." Swaps are derivative instruments that typically involve the exchange of cash flows, which can be based on interest rates, currencies, or commodities. These agreements allow parties to hedge risk or speculate on changes in market conditions over the contract's duration.

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.
