Investopedia explains 'Assignable Contract'
For example, if an investor holds a futures contract and the holder finds that the security has appreciated by 1% at or before the contract is closed, then the contract holder may decide to assign the contract to a third party for the appreciated amount, thus making a profit on the contract before it even closes.
Not all futures contacts have this provision. In fact, most exchange traded contracts are not assignable.
