Derivatives are contracts or financial instruments that derive their value from an underlying asset. The asset could be equities, commodities, currency, etc.
So when and who should invest in equities vs derivatives? Equities are primarily instruments for investment, while derivatives are used for speculation or hedging purposes.
The value of an equity is affected by a host of considerations, such as performance of the company, market conditions, investor mood, volume of buying/ selling, etc. The value of a derivative lies in the value of the underlying asset.
So if you want to make a relatively safe, long term investment, you could consider equities. But if you are comfortable handling comparatively more risk to get higher returns, you could consider F&O.
