Name Three Common Types of Financial Derivatives besides Futures.

Three common types of financial derivatives besides futures are options, forwards, and swaps. Options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset.

Forwards are similar to futures but are customized, private agreements. Swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows over a period, often based on interest rates or currencies.
