Any fnancal conrac s denfed wh s oenal laly ayoff H eercsed a he end of a conrac erod [ ]. In fac H s a F -measurale random varale. Any such nonnegave random varale H s called a conngen clam. In fnancal economcs a conngen clam s called a dervave secury of he uroean ye. Remark: A larger class of dervave secures he Amercan ye s no consdered here. he man rolem s o fnd he curren rce of a gven conngen clam durng a conrac erod [ ] n order o manage he rsk n he framework of he conrac. 3
