1.4. Structure of the Futures Market

Usually, the price of futures contracts for any particular asset becomes progressively more expensive as the expiration months extend into the future. The increasing price reflects the additional carrying charges of the asset. Carrying charges are simply the cost of holding an asset. For an agricultural commodity, the cost of carry will include storage and insurance costs. In the capital markets, the cost of carry might refer to the interest charged on funds that are borrowed to purchase the contract. Carrying charges are generally incorporated into the price of a commodity futures contract.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

Passed 66 on the first try with flying colors. Solomon materials and advice was spot on. Follow it!

Craig Brand, Capital Financial Services, Nevis, MN

I passed the 79 and 63 - both on the first attempt - thanks to Solomon Exam Prep. The quiz/simulator questions were very similar to the actual exam. Additionally, I was impressed by how quickly I received responses when I used the "Ask the Professor" feature.

I wanted to add my testimonial to the long list of successful test-takers. Passed my Series 65 today on the first try! The materials were well written and made the concepts easier to understand (especially to someone with no background in finance like myself). I was a big fan of the audio format as I have a long drive back and forth to work (other test prep providers did not have this option). The test simulators were also a huge help. Thanks to the folks at Solomon Prep!
