O que são e como negociá-los
Synthetic asset is a type of derivative asset. To help you understand what it is, we will examine what a derivative is and how synthetic assets differ from other types of derivative assets. What Is Derivative？ A derivative is a contract between two parties that states the conditions in which money will be exchanged between the parties. These conditions could include: (a). The type of asset that the contract is based on. (b). The factors that define how the asset influences payment. For instance, if the underlying asset of the contract is shares of a company, the other factors on the contract could include the effect of index price fluctuations (where a party gets paid if the price of the share reduces), the notional value (which is the actual quantity of assets the contract signifies; for instance, 50% share of the company), and the obligations of each party. Derivatives allow investors to participate in a market without owning the underlying assets. This gives them flexibility when making investments. Since you dont have to buy an actual house to invest in real estate or go through a vigorous process to own shares or bonds, you can switch between investments with ease or make investments in asset classes
