Abstract: The use of cash settlement as a method of settling futures contracts is a relatively new concept [Rowsell and Purcell (1990)]. Historically, futures contracts were for commodities, and actual delivery was the most logical means of linking the futures contract with its underlying commodity. With the development of financial futures, however, alternative means of settlement began to emerge.
