Characteristics of Currency Forward

Used as a foreign currency hedge when an investor has an obligation to either make or take a foreign currency payment at some point in the future.

Foreign currency futures contracts have standard contract sizes, time periods, settlement procedures and are traded on regulated exchanges throughout the world.

Foreign currency forwards contracts may have different contract sizes, time periods and settlement procedures than futures contracts, considered as over-the-counter (OTC).
