Compared with other financial institutions, futures companies have obvious differences: ① Futures companies are intermediaries that provide risk management services by relying on markets derived from commodity, capital and money markets; (2) Futures companies have unique risk characteristics, and the margin risk of customers often becomes an important source of risk for futures companies. The futures market implements the margin system, and customers' assets face greater risks, while futures companies ensure customers' performance through debt-free settlement on the same day. Once the customer is unable to perform due to insufficient margin, the futures company must use its own funds to make up for the deficiency, and the risk of the customer becomes the risk of the futures company. (3) Futures companies attach great importance to the interests of customers and are faced with a dual agency relationship, that is, the principal-agent problem between shareholders and managers and the principal-agent problem between customers and companies.
