Forward Contract

Derivative contract whose buyer and seller agree to exchange the underlying asset for an agreed price (forward price or rate) at a specific time in the future.

Unlike futures contracts, forwards are not standardized and trade over the counter (OTC) rather than at regulated exchanges.

Forwards are most common on currencies and interest rates, but can be agreed on all kinds of underlying assets.
