Questions
- What is an OTC derivative?
- A derivative contract agreed directly between two parties instead of on an exchange, such as an interest rate swap, an FX forward or a credit default swap. OTC Learn teaches them one product at a time.
- Who is it for?
- Anyone who needs to understand these instruments properly: analysts, operations and risk staff, students, and people moving into derivatives roles.
- Is it free?
- 36 products are free forever. The rest sit behind an optional subscription; everything that shipped before the subscription stays free.
- Does it give trading or investment advice?
- No. It is educational content only, not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
- Which phones does it run on?
- Android, from Google Play. There is no iPhone version yet.
- Who makes it?
- Groundlearn, a small independent studio. Contact: contactgroundlearn@gmail.com.
