yes dear this contract is for (2*6) type. the manager needs fund at 2 m for next 4 months. think what he will do so he can get what he desire. he should sell at futre to get fund. what he will sell....i.e sele futre. another way. if a person has now stock what he will do save himself from faling expacted interest rates in future. he should hedge interest rate by entering into future contract. i think now might be u can understand.

Assume Mr. A is fund manager and he has sell future.and he needs funds at 2 M for 4 Months. Interpretation: It means the funds manager needs fund at 6 m(from now) to settle the transaction it means what his oresent status... He is a borrower at today and he has to pay the borrowed amount at 6 m hence he is worried about the increase in rates of interest hence he has enter into a sell future contract that will give him a right to received at future from which he will pay the loan in Spot market by doing this he will be hedged from any losses which may occur in future.
