Eugene (Evgueni) Maftsir is a New Jersey executive who leads Elbron Holdings and provides client-focused solutions in areas such as trade financing, bridge loans, and commodities trading. Among the instruments Eugene Maftsir ( Евгений Мафцир ) has extensive knowledge of is the derivative.

A type of financial contract, the derivative takes its value from a commodity such as oil or gold, or another underlying asset. The contract binds the buyer to purchasing that asset at a specific price on a set date. Derivatives take many forms and can also be based on stocks, bonds, currencies, and even interest rates, such as the 10-year Treasury note yield.

It is not necessary that the seller is owner of the underlying asset. Rather, the contract can be fulfilled through providing the buyer with the means to acquire the asset at a prevailing price. An additional derivative contract can also be provided that offsets the original derivative's value. This means that the derivative can be traded much more fluidly than the actual asset.

One beneficial aspect of derivatives is that they decrease corporate risk. This is because they represent a futures contract for delivery of the underlying asset at an agreed-upon price. This predictability means that less cash-on-hand is needed, and more cash-flow reinvestment can take place.

One example is a company entering into a futures contract that ensures delivery of raw materials at an already established price. Fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates thus present a much smaller risk.

Historians disagree when it comes to tracing the precise origins of chess. Archeologists have found ancient game pieces that predate 6th century CE in areas that span modern day India, Pakistan, Russia, China, and Central Asia. However, experts now consider all of these pieces to be part of earlier games that are only distantly related to the chess of today.

The most popular theory of chess' evolution is centered on 6th century India and involves a warlike board came called chaturanga. By the year 600, this game, named after a battle formation in the Indian epic Mahabharata, was ubiquitous throughout northwestern India. Experts view chaturanga as the most direct precursor to chess for two key reasons. First, it features different pieces with different rules of movement. Second, players win the game by capturing a single piece.

A type of financial security, a derivative refers to a contract between two parties whose value is based on an underlying asset. These assets, which are known as benchmarks, experience price fluctuations that affect the value of the derivative. Common underlying assets include stocks, interest rates, commodities, and stock indexes.

Common forms of derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps, and options. In an options contract, two parties agree to buy or sell an asset at a future date for a set price. However, options contracts do not require the buyer to follow through with the agreement. Rather, options contracts simply provide an opportunity to buy or sell an asset, and may expire without being exercised. This structure differs from futures contracts, which require the buyer and seller to proceed with the agreed upon transaction.
