| Synthetic | An asset designed to duplicate the characteristics of a security created from the combination of other assets. For example, the simultaneous purchase of a call option and sale of a put option having the same expiration and strike price create a synthetic long stock position. A long position in a Single Stock Futures creates a synthetic long position in the underlying stock. |
