Long & Short Hedges
• A long futures hedge(多头期货套期保 值) is appropriate when you know you will purchase an asset in the future & want to lock in the price • A short futures hedge(空头期货套期保 值) is appropriate when you know you will sell an asset in the future & want to lock in the price

Accounting & Tax
• If a contract is used for – Hedging: it is logical to recognize profits (losses) at the same time as on the item being hedged – Speculation: it is logical to recognize profits (losses) on a mark to market basis • Roughly speaking, this is what the treatment of futures in the U.S.and many other countries attempts to achieve

Delivery
• If a contract is not closed out before maturity, it usually settled by delivering the assets underlying the contract. When there are alternatives about what is delivered, where it is delivered, and when it is delivered, the party with the short position chooses. • A few contracts (for example, those on stock indices and Eurodollars) are settled in cash.
