Synthetics

I know that a synthetic is used to stimulate the return of an initial investment, but how is the return created? Is it just by using a combination of financial instruments? I do not quite understand how synthetics work. Please help. Thanks.

Hey HarryClarke, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

If we're lucky, the following users may have something to say: xuyinofnyc @asd96" @fb1991"

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
