Equity Forward Seller

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Equity Forward Seller. The party that sells or writes this forward instrument, that is the party which grants the rights defined by this instrument and in return receives a payment for it.

The forward is always written by the party that is committing to sell the underlying, and is always bought by the party that is committing to take delivery of the underlying on the settlement date. The forward contract is the same as a conventional secondary market sale transaction but with the difference that the settlement date is in the future.
