Risk can be defined as deviations of the actual results from expected. Risk can be classified two ways – 1) risk of small losses with frequent occurrences, and 2) risk of large losses with infrequent occurrences. The impact or magnitude of risk is normally estimated from following two factors The probability of an adverse event happening, and  In case the event occurs the magnitude of the loss it can cause. 

The ways to manage risk include attempt to control potential damage, diffuse, diversify and transfer risk to those willing to accept it. One can manage the risk by transferring it to another party who is willing to assume risk. Insurance company does not do anything to contain the risk per se but assumes risk on your behalf. Management of risk through derivatives is commonly referred as hedging which enables offsetting of risk emanating from a situation. RAJIV SRIVASTAVA

Hedgers: are those who use derivatives for hedging i.e. reduce or eliminate risk. Speculators: are those take positions in derivatives to increase returns by assuming increased risk. They provide much needed liquidity to markets. Arbitrageurs: are those who exploit mispricing in two different markets; They assume riskless and profitable positions unlike speculators. All 3 participants are essential for efficient functioning.

Enable price discovery because two independent markets are available for the same asset. It increases participation making markets deep. If derivatives are exchange traded then transparent prices are available worldwide.

Facilitate transfer of risk from those trying to avoid to those prepared to assume risk.

Provide leverage to attract speculators to participate and increase market depth enabling fair price.

Increased volatility: Though used for efficient price discovery, derivatives when used as a speculative product can make increase volatility in prices. Increased bankruptcies: Derivatives being leveraged products have caused disproportionate positions leading to several disasters and bankruptcies. Increased burden of regulations: Most derivatives hide more than what they reveal, liabilities being contingent in nature. For financial discipline and better disclosures new rules have to be devised. Double-edged sword: If used judiciously it provides risk mitigation but if used injudiciously it magnifies risk.
