ABSTRACT
The emergence of the market for derivatives products, most notably forwards, futures , can
be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to guard themselves against
uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices. Derivatives are risk management
instruments, which derive their value from an underlying asset.
The following are three broad categories of participants in the derivatives market Hedgers,
Speculators and Arbitragers. Prices in an organized derivatives market reflect the perception
of market participants about the future and lead the price of underlying to the perceived
future level. In recent times the Derivative markets have gained importance in terms of their
vital role in the economy. The increasing investments in stocks ( domestic as well as
overseas ) have attracted my interest in this area. Numerous studies on the effects of futureand options listing on the underlying cash market volatility have been done in the developed
markets. The derivative market is newly started in India and it is not known by
every investor, so SEBI has to take steps to create awareness among the investors
about the derivative segment. In cash market the profit/loss of the investor depends on the
market price of the underlying asset. The investor may incur huge profit or he may incur
huge loss. But in derivatives segment the investor enjoys huge profits with limited downside.
Derivatives are mostly used for hedging purpose. In order to increase the derivatives market
in India, SEBI should revise some of their regulations like contract size, participation
of FII in the derivatives market. In a nutshell the study throws a light on the derivatives
market.

Introduction
A Derivative is a financial instrument that derives its value from an underlying asset. Derivative
is an financial contract whose price/value is dependent upon price of one or more basic underlying
asset, these contracts are legally binding agreements made on trading screens of stock exchanges
to buy or sell an asset in the future. The most commonly used derivatives contracts are forwards,
futures and options, which we shall discuss in detail later.
The main objective of the study is to analyze the derivatives market in India and to analyze the
operations of futures and options. Analysis is to evaluate the profit/loss position futures and
options. Derivates market is an innovation to cash market. Approximately its daily turnover
reaches to the equal stage of cash market
In cash market the profit/loss of the investor depend the market price of the underlying asset.
Derivatives are mostly used for hedging purpose. In bullish market the call option writer incurs
more losses so the investor is suggested to go for a call option to hold, where as the put option
holder suffers in a bullish market, so he is suggested to write a put option. In bearish market thecall option holder will incur more losses so the investor is suggested to go for a call option to write,
where as the put option writer will get more losses, so he is suggested to hold a put option.

Derivatives
The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards, futures and options,
can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to guard themselves against
uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices. By their very nature, the financial markets
are marked by a very high degree of volatility. Through the use of derivative products, it is possible
to partially or fully transfer price risks by locking – in asset prices. As instruments of risk
management, these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying asset prices.
However, by locking-in asset prices, derivative products minimize the impact of fluctuations in
asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of risk-averse investors.
Derivatives are risk management instruments, which derive their value from an underlying asset.
The underlying asset can be bullion, index, share, bonds, currency, interest etc. Banks, securities
firms, companies and investors to hedge risks, to gain access to cheaper money and to make profit,
use derivatives. Derivatives are likely to grow even at a faster rate in future.
DEFINITION:
Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset in a
contractual manner. The underlying asset can be equity, forex, commodity or any other asset.
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 (SC(R) A) defines “derivative” to include –
1. A security derived from a debt instrument, share, loan whether secured or unsecured, risk
instrument or contract for differences or any other form of security.
2. A contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of prices, of underlying securities.

PARTICIPANTS
The following three broad categories of participants in the derivatives market.
HEDGERS:
Hedgers face risk associated with the price of an asset. They use futures or options markets to
reduce or eliminate this risk.
SPECULATORS:
Speculators wish to bet on future movements in the price of an asset. Futures and options contracts
can give them an extra leverage; that is, they can increase both the potential gains and potential
losses in a speculative venture.
ARBITRAGEURS:
Arbitrageurs are in business to take advantage of a discrepancy between prices in two different
markets. If, for example, they see the futures price of an asset getting out of line with the cash price, they will take offsetting positions in the two markets to lock in a profit.

FUNCTIONS OF DERIVATIVES MARKET:
The following are the various functions that are performed by the derivatives markets. They are:
Prices in an organized derivatives market reflect the perception of market participants about
the future and lead the prices of underlying to the perceived future level.
Derivatives market helps to transfer risks from those who have them but may not like them to
those who have an appetite for them.
Derivative trading acts as a catalyst for new entrepreneurial activity.
Derivatives markets help increase savings and investment in the long run.
TYPES OF DERIVATIVES:
The following are the various types of derivatives. They are:
FORWARDS:
A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where settlement takes place
on a specific date in the future at today’s pre-agreed price
FUTURES:
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in
the future at a certain price.
OPTIONS:
Options are of two types - calls and puts. Calls give the buyer the right but not the obligation to
buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price on or before a given future date. Puts
give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given quantity of the underlying asset at a
given price on or before a given date.

WARRANTS:
Options generally have lives of up to one year; the majority of options traded on options
exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer-dated options are called warrants
and are generally traded over-the-counter.
LEAPS:
The acronym LEAPS means Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities. These are options having
a maturity of up to three years
BASKETS:
Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets. The underlying asset is usually amoving average of a basket of assets. Equity index options are a form of basket options.
SWAPS:
Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future according
to a prearranged formula. They can be regarded as portfolios of forward contracts. The two
commonly used swaps are
Interest rate swaps:
These entail swapping only the interest related cash flows between the
Parties in the same currency.
Currency swaps:
These entail swapping both principal and interest between the parties, with the cash flows in one
direction being in a different currency than those in the opposite Direction.
Swaptions:
Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative at the expiry of the options.
Thus a Swaptions is an option on a forward swap.

RATIONALE BEHIND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DERIVATIVES:
Holding portfolio of securities is associated with the risk of the possibility that the investor may
realize his returns, which would be much lesser than what he expected to get. There are various
factors, which affect the returns:
1. Price or dividend (interest).
2. Some are internal to the firm like –
Industrial policy
Management capabilities
Consumer’s preference
Labor strike, etc.
These forces are to a large extent controllable and are termed as non Systematic risks. An investor
can easily manage such non-systematic by having a well – diversified portfolio spread across the
companies, industries and groups so that a loss in one may easily be compensated with a gain in
other.
There are yet other types of influences which are external to the firm, cannot be controlled and
affect large number of securities. They are termed as systematic risk. They are:
1. Economic
2. Political
3. Sociological changes are sources of systematic risk.
For instance, inflation, interest rate, etc. their effect is to cause prices of nearly all individual stocks
to move together in the same manner. We therefore quite often find stock prices falling from time
to time in spite of company’s earnings rising and vice versa.
Rationale behind the development of derivatives market is to manage this systematic risk, liquidity
and liquidity in the sense of being able to buy and sell relatively large amounts quickly without
substantial price concessions.

In debt market, a large position of the total risk of securities is systematic. Debt instruments are
also finite life securities with limited marketability due to their small size relative to many common
stocks. Those factors favor for the Purpose of both portfolio hedging and speculation, the
introduction of a derivative security that is on some broader market rather than an individual
security.
India has vibrant securities market with strong retail participation that has rolled over the years. It
was until recently basically cash market with a facility to carry forward positions in actively traded
‘A’ group scrips from one settlement to another by paying the required margins and borrowing
some money and securities in a separate carry forward session held for this purpose. However, a
need was felt to introduce financial products like in other financial markets world over which are
characterized with high degree of derivative products in India.
Derivative products allow the user to transfer this price risk by looking in the asset price there by
minimizing the impact of fluctuations in the asset price on his balance sheet and have assured cash
flows.
Derivatives are risk management instruments, which derive their value from an underlying asset.
The underlying asset can be bullion, index, shares, bonds, currency etc.

DEFINITION
A Futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in
the future at a certain price. To facilitate liquidity in the futures contract, the exchange specifies
certain standard features of the contract. The standardized items on a futures contract are:
Quantity of the underlying
Quality of the underlying
The date and the month of delivery
The units of price quotations and minimum price change
Locations of settlement
Types of futures:
On the basis of the underlying asset they derive, the futures are divided into two types:
Stock futures:
The stock futures are the futures that have the underlying asset as the individual securities. The
settlement of the stock futures is of cash settlement and the settlement price of the future is the
closing price of the underlying security.
Index futures:
Index futures are the futures, which have the underlying asset as an Index. The Index futures are
also cash settled. The settlement price of the Index futures shall be the closing value of the
underlying index on the expiry date of the contract.
PARTIES IN THE FUTURES CONTRACT:
There are two parties in a future contract, the Buyer and the Seller. The buyer of the futurescontract is one who is LONG on the futures contract and the seller of the futures contract is one
who is SHORT on the futures contract.The pay off for the buyer and the seller of the futures
contract are as follows

MARGINS:
Margins are the deposits, which reduce counter party risk, arise in a futures contract. These
margins are collected in order to eliminate the counter party risk. There are three types of margins:
INITIAL MARGIN:
Whenever a futures contract is signed, both buyer and seller are required to post initial margin.
Both buyer and seller are required to make security deposits that are intended to guarantee that
they will infact be able to fulfill their obligation. These deposits are Initial margins and they are
often referred as performance margins. The amount of margin is roughly 5% to 15% of total
purchase price of futures contract.
MARKING TO MARKET MARGIN:
The process of adjusting the equity in an investor’s account in order to reflect the change in the
settlement price of futures contract is known as MTM Margin.
MAINTENANCE MARGIN:
The investor must keep the futures account equity equal to or greater than certain percentage of
the amount deposited as Initial Margin. If the equity goes less than that percentage of Initial
margin, then the investor receives a call for an additional deposit of cash known as Maintenance
Margin to bring the equity up to the Initial margin.

ROLE OF MARGINS:
The role of margins in the futures contract is explained in the following example.
S sold a Satyam June futures contract to B at Rs.300; the following table shows the effect of
margins on the contract. The contract size of Satyam is 1200. The initial margin amount is say
Rs.20000, the maintenance margin is 65% of Initial margin.

Pricing the Futures:
The fair value of the futures contract is derived from a model known as the Cost of Carry model.
This model gives the fair value of the futures contract.
Cost of Carry Model:
F=S (1+r-q) t
Where
F – Futures Price
S – Spot price of the Underlying
r – Cost of Financing
q – Expected Dividend Yield
T – Holding Period.
Futures terminology:
Spot price:The price at which an asset trades in the spot market.
Futures price: The price at which the futures contract trades in the futures market.
Contract cycle:
The period over which a contract trades. The index futures contracts on the NSE have one-month,
two-months and three-month expiry cycles which expire on the last Thursday of the month. Thus
a January expiration contract expires on the last Thursday of January and a February expiration
contract ceases trading on the last Thursday of February. On the Friday following the last
Thursday, a new contract having a three-month expiry is introduced for trading.
Expiry date:
It is the date specified in the futures contract. This is the last day on which the contract will be
traded, at the end of which it will cease to exist.

26/97
26
Contract size:
The amount of asset that has to be delivered under one contract. For instance, the contract size on
NSE’s futures market is 200 Nifties.
Basis:
In the context of financial futures, basis can be defined as the futures price minus the spot price.
There will be a different basis for each delivery month for each contract. In a normal market, basis
will be positive. This reflects that futures prices normally exceed spot prices.
Cost of carry:
The relationship between futures prices and spot prices can be summarized in terms of what is
known as the cost of carry. This measures the storage cost plus the interest that is paid to finance
the asset less the income earned on the asset.
Open Interest:
Total outstanding long or short positions in the market at any specific time. As total long positions
for market would be equal to short positions, for calculation of open interest, only one side of the
contract is counted.

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE
The only stock exchanges operating in the 19th century were those of Bombay set up in 1875 and
Ahmedabad set up in 1894. These were organized as voluntary non profit-making association of
brokers to regulate and protect their interests. Before the control on securities trading became
central subject under the constitution in 1950, it was a state subject and the Bombay securities
contracts (control) Act of 1925 used to regulate trading in securities. Under this act, the Bombay
stock exchange was recognized in 1927 and Ahmedabad in 1937.
During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized in Bombay, Ahmedabad and
other centers, but they were not recognized. Soon after it became a central subject, central
legislation was proposed and a committee headed by A.D. Gorwala went into the bill for securities
regulation. On the basis of the committee’s recommendations and public discussion, the securities
contracts (regulation) Act became law in 1956.
DEFINITION OF STOCK EXCHANGE
“Stock exchange means any body or individuals whether incorporated or not, constituted for the
purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in
securities”.
It is an association of member brokers for the purpose of self-regulation and protecting the interests
of its members.
It can operate only if it is recognized by the Government under the securities contracts (regulation)
Act, 1956. The recognition is granted under section 3 of the Act by the central government,
Ministry of Finance.

BY LAWS
Besides the above act, the securities contracts (regulation) rules were also made in 1975 to
regulative certain matters of trading on the stock exchanges. There are also bylaws of the
exchanges, which are concerned with the following subjects.
Opening / closing of the stock exchanges, timing of trading, regulation of blank transfers,
regulation of Badla or carryover business, control of the settlement and other activities of the stock
exchange, fixating of margin, fixation of market prices or making up prices, regulation of taravani
business (jobbing), etc., regulation of brokers trading, brokerage chargers, trading rules on the
exchange, arbitrage and settlement of disputes, settlement and clearing of the trading etc.
REGULATION OF STOCK EXCHANGES
The securities contracts (regulation) act is the basis for operations of the stock exchanges in India.
No exchange can operate legally without the government permission or recognition. Stock
exchanges are given monopoly in certain areas under section 19 of the above Act to ensure that
the control and regulation are facilitated. Recognition can be granted to a stock exchange provided
certain conditions are satisfied and the necessary information is supplied to the government.
Recognition can also be withdrawn, if necessary. Where there are no stock exchanges, the
government licenses some of the brokers to perform the functions of a stock exchange in its
absence.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI).
SEBI was set up as an autonomous regulatory authority by the government of India in 1988 “to
protect the interests of investors in securities and to promote the development of, and to regulate
the securities market and for matter connected therewith or incidental thereto”. It is empowered
by two acts namely the SEBI Act, 1992 and the securities contract (regulation) Act, 1956 to
perform the function of protecting investor’s rights and regulating the capital markets.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE
This stock exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as “BSE” was established in 1875 as “The Nativeshare and stock brokers association”, as a voluntary non-profit making association. It has an
evolved over the years into its present status as the premiere stock exchange in the country. It may
be noted that the stock exchanges the oldest one in Asia, even older than the Tokyo stock exchange,
which was founded in 1878.
The exchange, while providing an efficient and transparent market for trading in securities,
upholds the interests of the investors and ensures redressed of their grievances, whether against
the companies or its own member brokers. It also strives to educate and enlighten the investors by
making available necessary informative inputs and conducting investor education programs.
A governing board comprising of 9 elected directors, 2 SEBI nominees, 7 public representatives
and an executive director is the apex body, which decides is the apex body, which decides the
policies and regulates the affairs of the exchange.
The Exchange director as the chief executive offices is responsible for the daily today
administration of the exchange.
BSE INDICES:
In order to enable the market participants, analysts etc., to track the various ups and downs in the
Indian stock market, the Exchange has introduced in 1986 an equity stock index called BSE-
SENSEX that subsequently became the barometer of the moments of the share prices in the Indian
stock market. It is a “Market capitalization weighted” index of 30 component stocks representing
a sample of large, well-established and leading companies. The base year of sensex 1978-79. The
Sensex is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as
electronic media.
8/18/2019 Study on Derivatives in Futures
42/97

Sensex is calculated using a market capitalization weighted method. As per this methodology the
level of the index reflects the total market value of all 30-component stocks from different
industries related to particular base period. The total market value of a company is determined by
multiplying the price of its stock by the nu7mber of shared outstanding. Statisticians call index of
a set of combined variables (such as price and number of shares) a composite Index. An indexed
number is used to represent the results of this calcution in order to make the value easier to go
work with and track over a time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on Indexed values than
on based on actual valued world over majority of the well-known Indices are constructed using
“Market capitalization weighted method”.
In practice, the daily calculation of SENSEX is done by dividing the aggregate market value of
the 30 companies in the index by a number called the Index Divisor. The divisor is the only link
to the original base period value of the SENSEX. The Devisor keeps the Index comparable over a
period value of time and if the references point for the entire Index maintenance adjustments.
SENSEX
Is widely used to describe the mood in the Indian stock markets. Base year average is changed as
per the formula new base year average = old base year average*(new market value / old market
value).
NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE
The NSE was incorporated in Nov, 1992 with an equity capital of Rs.25 crs. The international
securities consultancy (ISC) of Hong Kong has helped in setting up NSE. ISC has prepared the
detailed business plans and initialization of hardware and software systems. The promotions for
NSE were financial institutions, insurances, companies, banks and SEBI capital market ltd,
Infrastructure leasing and financial services ltd and stock holding corporations ltd.
It has been set up to strengthen the move towards professionalisation of the capital market as well
as provide nation wide securities trading facilities to investors.

NSE is not an exchange in the traditional sense where brokers own and manage the exchange. A
two tier administrative set up involving a company board and a governing aboard of the exchange
is envisaged.
NSE is a national market for shares PSU bonds, debentures and government securities since
infrastructure and trading facilities are provided.
NSE-NIFTY:
The NSE on Apr22, 1996 launched a new equity Index. The NSE-50. The new Index which
replaces the existing NSE-100 Index is expected to serve as an appropriate Index for the new
segment of future and option.

represent 20 board industry groups with an aggregate market capitalization of around Rs 1, 70,000
crs. All companies included in the Index have a market capitalization in excess of Rs. 500 crs each
and should have trade for 85% of trading days at an impact cost of less than 1.5%.
The base period for the index is the close of price on Nov 3 1995, which makes one year of
completion of operation of NSE’s capital market segment. The base value of the index has been
set at 1000.
NSE-MIDCAP INDEX:
The NSE madcap index or the junior nifty comprises 50 stocks that represent 21 board industry
groups and will provide proper representation of the midcap segment of the Indian capital market.
All stocks in the Index should have market capitalization of more than Rs.200 crs and should have
traded 85% of the trading days at an impact cost of less than 2.5%.

firm to invest US$1mn.

are also using their services as they feel that they are trustworthy and would not let their money
get wasted. The other reason why people go to banks only to avail these services is because they
feel that they can do away with all their transactions from one place, they do not have to approach
different people or different organizations for their transactions.
The only time when traders change their broking firms is when they are not satisfied with their
services, like when they want their brokers to provide correct information and advice to them at
correct point of time and they are not fulfilling their expectations. With just Rs.500 or even less
than that they can avail the facility of having an account with any of the broking firms and can
trade with that account.
