Forward Contract

Definition:

A contract to purchase/sell a specific quantity of a certain asset on a specified future date at a certain price. Forward Contracts are similar to Futures Contracts except that the terms of a Forward Contract are not standardized, allowing for greater flexibility but also making them less liquid on the Secondary Market.
