Hedger

Speculator

Accepts risk

Transfers risk

Example: a coffee producer sets a price today for his

Buys the futures contract for a set price

crop which will be harvested in 6 months

Hedges his crop for future delivery at today's price by

selling a futures contract

If the market price increases before delivery he profits

Eliminates risk

But

No extra profit if price rises

If the market price decreases before delivery he takes

a loss on his investment
