Have you ever read a glossary of terms on futures and options and said to yourself, "Yep, that's makes perfect sense. I understand that 100%". No, neither have we.

We see the use of complex and abstract financial jargon as one of the principle obstacles in developing an understanding of what the various financial instruments are, how to use them, what they can do, and what they can't do. And most importantly, what use they might be to your business. Not another company's business, but your business.

Rather than just post an alphabetical list and let you plough through it, Steel Derivative's takes a step by step approach. We introduce new terms gradually and, most importantly, in context. We do that so you can immediately appreciate exactly what the term is referring to in practice, rather than the explanation being some abstract concept.

The Steel Derivatives glossary of financial terms has been compiled with the steel user in mind. It addresses everything you need to know about futures, options and swaps. Furthermore, the Derivative's glossary of financial terms provides every explanation in what we call Steel Speak - straight talking, down to earth, everyday English. So you no longer have to grapple with jargon explained by jargon.
