Long Forward Contract

A long position in a forward contract whereby an investor agrees to buy the underlying asset on a specified future date for a preset price. The payoff from a long forward contract on one unit of the underlying is the spot price of the asset at maturity of the contract minus the delivery price, or in equation form:

Payoff = ST – K

The holder of this contract is obligated to purchase the underlying asset, worth the spot price ST, for the delivery price K. If the spot price exceeds the delivery price, the contract’s payoff will be positive (gain), and vice versa.
