CHAPTER-1

INRODUCTION

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE

The only stock exchange operating in the 19th century were those of Bombay set

up in 1875 and Ahmadabad set up in 1894 these were organized as voluntary non-profit

making organization of brokers to regulate and protect interest. Before the control

insecurities trading became a central subject under the constitution in 1950, it was a state

subject and the Bombay securities contract (CONTROL) Act of 1952 used to regulate

trade in securities. Under this act, the Bombay stock exchange in 1927 and Ahmadabad

in 1937.

During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized in Bombay,

Ahmadabad 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. Goral

went in to the bill for securities regulation. On the basis of committee’s

recommendations and public discussions the securities contracts (regulations) 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 of it is

recognized by the govt. Under the securities contract (regulation) Act, 1956. The

recognition is granted under section 3 of the Act by the central government, ministry if

finance.

1


BYELAWS

Besides the above act, the securities contract (regulations) rules were also

made in 1975 to regulate certain matters of trading on the stock Exchange. These are also

byelaws of the exchanges, which are concerned with the following subjects. Opening /

closing of the stock exchange, timing of trading, regulation of bank transfer, regulation of

Badla or carryover business, control of settlement, and other activities of stock exchange,

fixations of margin, fixations of market price or marking price, regulation of tarlatan

business (jobbing), regulation of brokers trading, brokerage charges, trading rules on the

exchange, arbitration and settlement of disputes, settlement and clearing of the trading

etc.

Regulations of Stock Exchange

The securities contract (regulations) is the basis for operations of the stock

exchange in India. No exchange can operate legally without the government permission

or recognition. Stock exchanges are give 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 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 can license some to 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 perform the interests of investors in securities and to promote the

development and to regulate the securities market and for matters connected there with

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 market.

BASIC OF DERIVATIVES

The term “Derivatives” independent value, i.e. its value is entirely “derived”

from the underlying asset. The underlying asset can be securities, commodities bullion,

currency, live stock or anything else. In other words, derivative means a forward, future,

option or any other hybrid contract of per determined fixed duration, linked for the

purpose of contract fulfillment to the value of a specified real or financial asset or to an

index of securities.

The Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956 Define Derivatives as Under

“Derivative” Includes

• a securities derivatives from a debt instrument, share, lone writher secured or

• unsecured, risk instrument or contract for different or any other security

• a contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of price of underlying

• Securities

The above definition conveys: Those derivatives are financial products and derive its

value from the underlying assets.

Derivatives is derived from another financial instrument/contract called the

Underlying. In the case of Nifty futures, Nifty index is the underlying.

Significance of DerivativesDerivatives are Used

1. By Hedgers for protecting (risk-covering) against adverse movement. Hedging is

a mechanism to reduce price risk inherent in open positions. Derivatives are

widely used for hedging. A Hedge can help lock in existing profits. Its purpose is

to reduce the volatility of a portfolio by reducing the risk.

2. Speculators to make quick fortune by anticipating/forecasting future market

movement. Hedgers with to eliminate or reduce the price risk to which they are

already exposed. Speculators, on the other hand are those classes of investors

who willingly take price risks to profit from price change in the underlying.

While the need to provide hedging avenues by means of derivative instruments is

laudable, it call for the existence of speculative traders to play the role of

counter-party to the hedgers. It is for this reason that the role of speculators gains

prominence in a derivatives market.

3. Arbitrageurs to earn risk-free profits by exploiting market importance. 3


Arbitrageurs profits from price differential existing in two markets by

simultaneously operating in the two different markets.

Type of Derivatives

Derivatives products initially emerged devices against fluctuations in commodity

price, and commodity-linked derivatives remained the sole form of such predicts for

almost three hundred years. Financial derivatives came into spotlight in the post-1970

period due to growing instability in the financial markets. However, since their

emergence, these products have become very popular and by 1990s, they accounted for

about two –thirds of total transactions in derivative products. In recent years, the market

for financial derivatives has grown tremendously in term of variety of instruments

available their complexity and also turnover. In the class of equity derivatives the world

over, future and options on stock indices have gained more popularity than on individual

stocks, especially among institutional investors, who are major uses of index-linked

derivatives. Even small investors find these useful due to high correlation of the popular

index with various portfolios and ease of use. The lower costs associated with index

derivatives vis-à-vis derivative products based on individual securities is another reason

for their growing use. The most commonly used derivatives contracts are forward,

futures and options with we shall discuss in detail later. Here we take a brief look at

various derivatives contracts that have come to be used.

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. Futures contracts are special type of

forward contract in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-trade contracts.

Options: options are of two types- calls and put calls give the buyer right but not the

obligation to buy a give quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price on or before a

given future date. Puts gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given 4


quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or before given date.

Warrants: Options generally have lives of up to one year, the majority of option traded

on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of one month. Longer-dated options

are called warrants and are generally traded over-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 a moving 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 flow between

the parties in the same currency.

Currency Swaps: These entail swapping both principal and interest between the parties,

with the case flows in one direction being in a different currency than those in the

opposition direction.

Swaptions: Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will became operative at the

expiry of the options. Thus a Swaptions is an option on a forward swap. Rather than have

called and puts, the swaption market has receiver swaption and payer swaptions. A

receiver swaptions in an option to receiver fixed and pay floating. A player swaption is

an option to pay fixed and receive floating.

Classification of Derivatives

The Derivatives Can be Classified as

5


• Forwards (Currencies, Stocks, Swaps etc)

Forward contract is different from a spot truncation, where payment of price and

delivery of commodity concurrently take place immediately the transaction is settled. In a

forward contract the sale/purchase truncation of an asset is settled including the price

payable, not for delivery/settlement at spot, but at a specified future date. India has a

strong dollar-rupee forward market with contract being traded for one, two, and six-

month expiration. Daily trading volume on this forward Market is around $500 million a

day. Indian users of hedging services are also allowed to buy derivatives involving other

currencies on foreign markets.

• Futures(Currencies, Stocks, Indexes, Commodities etc)

A futures contract has been defined as “a standardized, exchange-traded

Agreement specifying a quantity and price of a particular type of commodity

(Soybeans, gold, oil, etc) to be purchased or sold at a pre-determined date in the

Future. On contract date, delivery and physical possession take place unless the

Contract has been closed out futures fate also available ob various financial

Products and indexes today. A futures contract is thus a forward, contract, which

trades on national stock exchange. This provides them transparency, liquidity,

anonymity of trades, and also eliminates the counter party risks due to the

guarantee provided by national securities clearing corporation limited.

• Options (Currencies, Stocks, Indexes etc)

Options are the standardized financial that allows the buyer (holder) if the

Options, i.e. the right at the cost of options premium, not the obligation, to

but (call options) or sell (put options) a specified asset at a set price on or before

a Specified date through exchange under stringent financial security against

default.

FORDWARD CONTRACTS

A forward contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset on a specified date for a

6


specified price. One of the parties to the contract assumes a long position and agrees to

buy the underlying asset on a certain specified future date for a certain specified price.

The other party assumes a short position and agrees to sell the asset on the same date for

the same price. Other contract details like delivery date, the parties to the contracts

negotiate price and quality bilaterally. The forward contracts are normally traded outside

the exchanges.

The Silent Futures of Forward Contract are

The bilateral contracts and hence exposed to counter-party risk.

Each contract is custom designed, and hence is unique in terms of contract size,

Expiration date and the asset type and quality.

The contract price is generally not available in public domain.

On the expiration date, the contract has to be settled by delivery of the asset.

If the party wishes to reverse the contract, it has to compulsorily go the same

counter Party, which often results in high prices being changed.

However forward contracts in certain markets have become very standardization, as

in the case of foreign exchange, thereby reducing transaction cost and increasing

transactions volume. This process of standardization reaches its limit in the organized

futures market .Forward contracts is very useful in hedging and speculation. The classic

hedging application word is that of an exporter who expects to receive payment in dollars

three Months later he is exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. By using the

currency forward markets to sell dollars forward, he can lock on to a rate today and

reduce his uncertainty. Similarly an importer who is required to make a payment in

dollars forward if a speculator has information or analysis, which forecasts an upturn in a

price, than he can go long on the forward market instead of the cash market. The

speculator would go long on the forward, wait for the price to rise, and then take a

reversing transaction to book profits. Speculators may well be required to deposit a

margin upfront. However, this is generally a relatively small proportion of the value of

the assets underlying the forward contract. The use of forward markets here supplies

leverage to the speculator.

LIMITATIONS

Forward Markets World-Wide are Afflicted by Several Problems

7


Lack of centralization of trading, Liquidity, and Counter party risk in the first two

of these, the basic problem is that of too much flexibility and generality. The forward

market is like a real estate market in that any two consenting adults can form contracts

against each other. This often makes them design terms of the deal, which are very

convenient in that specific situation, but makes the contracts non-tradable. Counter party

risk arises from the possibility of default by any one party to the transaction. When one

of the two sides to the transaction declares bankruptcy, the other suffers. Even when

forward markets trade standardized contracts, and hence avoid the problem of liquidity,

still the counter party risk remains a very serious issue.

FUTURES

Futures markets were designed to solve the problems that exist in forward

markets. 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. But unlike forward contracts, the futures

contracts are standardized and exchange traded. To facilitate liquidity in the future

contracts, the exchange specifies certain standard quantity and quality of the underlying

instrument that can be delivered, (or which can be used for reference purposes in

settlement) and a standard timing of such settlement. A futures contract may be offset

prior to maturity by entering into an equal and opposite transaction. More than 99% of

futures transactions are offset this way.

The Standardized Items in a Futures Contract are

Quantity of the underlying

Quality of the underlying

The date and month of delivery

The units of price quotations and minimum price changes

Location of settlement.

DISTINCTION BETWEEN FUTURES AND FROWARDS

8


Forward contracts are often confused with futures contracts. The confusion is

primarily Became both serve essentially the same economics of allocations risk in the

presence of Future price uncertainly. However futures are a significant improvement over

the forward Contracts as they eliminate counter party risk and offer more liquidity.

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-month and three-month expiry cycle, which expire on the

last Thursday of the month. Thus January expiration contract expires 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 case to exist.

Contract size: The amount of the asset that has to be delivered less than one contract. For

instance, the contract size on NSE’s futures market is 200 Niftiest.

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.

Initial margin: the amount that must be deposited in the margin account at the

time a future contract is first entered into is known as initial margin.

Marking-to-market: in the futures market, at the end of each trading day, the

margin.

account is adjusted to reflect the investor’s gain or loss depending upon the

futures Closing price. This is called marking-to-market.

Maintenance margin: this is somewhat lower than the initial margin. This is set to 9


ensure. That the balance in the margin account never becomes negative.

If the balance in the margin account falls below the maintenance margin, the

investor receives a Margin call and is expected to top up the margin account to

the initial margin level before trading commences on the next day.

OPTIONS

We look at the next derivative product to be traded on the NSE, namely option.

Options are fundamentally different from forward and futures contracts. An option gives

the holder of the option the right to do something. The holder does not have to exercise

this right .in contrast, in a forward or futures contract, the two parties have committed

themselves to doing something. whereas it costs nothing (except margin requirements)to

enter into a futures contract, the purchase of an option requires an up-front payments.

OPTIONS TERMINAOLOGY

Index option: There option has the index as the underlying. Some options are

European while others are American. Like index, futures, contract, index options

Contracts are also cash settled.

Stock options: stock options are options on individual stocks. option currently

trade On over 500 stocks in the United States. A contract gives the holder the

right to buy or sell shares at the specified prices.

Buyer of options: the buyer of an options is the one who by paying the options

Premium buys the right but not the obligation to exercise his option on the

Seller / writer.

Writer of an option: the writer of a call/put options is the one who receives the

option premium and is thereby obliged to sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercises

on him.

There are Two Basic Types of Options, Call Options and Put Options

Call option: a call option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy

an Asset by a certain date for a certain price.

10


Put option: a put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell an asset by a certain date for a certain price.

Option price: option prices are the price, which the option buyer pays to option

seller. It is also referred to as option premium.

Expiration date: the date specified in the options contract is known as the

expiration Date, the exercise date, the strike date or the maturity.

Strike price: the price specified in the options contract is known as the strike

price or the exercise price.

American options: American options are options that can be exercised at any

time up to the expiration date. Most exchange-traded options are American.

European options: European options are options that can be exercised only on

the Expiration date itself. European options are easier to analyze than American

options, and Properties of American options are frequently deduced from those

of its European Counterpart.

In-the-money option: an in-the money (ITM) option that would lead to a

Positive cash flow to the holder if it were exercised immediately. A call option

on the Index is said to be in money when the current index is stands at a level

higher than the strike price, (i.e. spot price strike price). If the index is much

higher than the strike price, The call is said to be deep ITM. In the case of a put

is ITM if the index is below the strike price.

At-the-money option: an at-the money (ATM) option is an option that would

lead to Zero cash flow if it were exercised immediately. An option on the index

is at-the –money when the current index equals the strike price (i.e. spot price =

strike price.

Out-of the money option: an out-of –money (OTM) option is an option that

would lead to a negative cash flow it was exercised immediately. A call option

on the index is out-of-the-money when the current index stands at a level, which

is less than the strike Price (i.e. spot price strike price). If the index is much

lower than the strike price, the call is said to be deep OTM .in the case of a put,

the put is OTM if the index is above the Strike price.

Trading Strategies using Futures and Option

There are a lot of practical uses of derivatives. As we have seen, derivatives can be

11


used for profits and hedging. We can use derivatives as a leverage tool too.

Use of Derivatives as leverage

You can use the derivatives market to raise fund using your stocks. Conversely,

you can also lend funds against stocks.

Different Between Badla and Derivatives

The derivatives product that comes closest to Badla is futures. Futures is not

badla, through a lot of people confuse it with badla. The fundamental difference is badla

consisted of contango and backwardation (undha badla and vyaj badla) in the same

market. Futures is a different market segment altogether. Hence derivatives is not the

same as badla, through it is similar.

Raising Funds from the Derivatives Market

This is fairly simple. Say, you have Infosys, which is trading at R s 3000. You

have shares lying with you and are in urgent need of liquidity. Instead of pledging your

shares and borrowing from banks at a margin, you can sell the stock at R s 3000. Suppose

you need this liquidity only for a month and also do not want to party with Infosys. You

can buy a 1 month future at R s 3050

After a month you get back you Infosys at the cost of additional rs 50. This R s 50

is the financing cost for the liquidity. The other beauty about this is you have already

locked in your purchase cost at R s 3050. This fixes your liquidity cost also and protected

against further price losses.

Lending Funds to The Market

The lending into the market is exactly the reverse of borrowing. You have money

to lend.

You can a stock and sell its future. Say, you buy Infosys at R s 3000 and sell a 1

month future at R s 3100. In effect what you have done is lent R s 3000 to the market for

a month and earned R s 100 on it.

Using Speculation to Make Profits

When you speculate, you normally take a view on the market, either bullish or

12


bearish. When you take a bullish view on the market, you can always sell futures and buy

in the spot market. If you take a bearish view on the market, you can buy futures and sell

in the sport market. Similarly, in the option market, if you are bullish, you should buy

call options. If you are bearish, you should buy put option conversely, if you are bullish,

you should write put options. This is so because, in a bull market, there are lower

changes of the put option being exercised and you can profit from the premium if you are

bearish, you should write call option. This is so because, in a bear market, there are lower

chances of the call option being exercised and you can profit from the premium.

Using Arbitrage to Make Money in Derivatives Market

Arbitrage is making money on price differential in different markets. For

example, future is nothing but the future value of the spot price. This futures value is

obtained by factoring the interest rate. But if there are differences in the money market

and the interest rates change than the future price should correct itself to factor the

change in interest. But if there is no factoring of this change than it present an

opportunity to make money-an arbitrage opportunity.

Let us take an example.

Example

A stock is quoting for Rs. 1000. The 1-month future of this stock is at rs 1005. the risk

free Interest rate is 12%. What should be the trading strategy?

Solution

The strategy for trading should be: Sell Spot and Buy Futures

Sell the stock for Rs 1000. Buy the future at Rs 1005.

Invest the Rs 1000 at 12%. The interest earned on this stock will be

1000(1+.02) (1/12) = 1009

So net gain the above strategy is Rs 1009-rs 1005= Rs 4

Thus one can make a risk less profit of Rs 4 because of arbitrage. But an important point

is that this opportunity was available due to miss-pricing and the market not correcting

itself. Normally, the time taken for the market to adjust to corrections is very less. So the

time available for arbitrage is also less. As every one to cash in on the arbitrage, the

market corrects itself.

USING FUTURE TO HEDGE POSITION

One can hedge ones by taking an opposite position in the futures market. For

example, if you are sport price, the risk you carry is that of price in the future. You can

13


lock this by selling in the futures price. Even if the stock continues falling, your position

is hedge as you have firmed the price at witch you are selling. Similarly, you want to buy

a stock at a later date but face the risk of prices rising. You can hedge against this rise by

buying futures. You can use a combination of futures too to hedge yourself. There is

always a correlation between the index and individual stocks, this correlation may be

negative or positive, but there is a correlation. This is given by the beta of the stock. In

simple terms, terms, what beta indicates is the change in the price of a stock to the

change in index.

For examples

If beta of a stock is 0.8, it means that if the index goes up by the stock goes up by

8. t will also fall a similar level when the index falls.

A negative beta means that the price of the stock falls when the index rises. So, if you

have a position in a stock, you can hedge the same by buying the index at times the

value of the stock.

Example: The beta of HPCL is 0.8. The Nifty is at 1000. If I have Rs 10000 worth of

HPCL, I can hedge my position by selling 800 of Nifty. That is I well sell 8 Nifities.

Scenario 1: If index rises by 10%, the value of the index becomes 8800 I e a loss of R s

800. The value of my stock however goes up by 8% I e it becomes R s 10800 I e a gain

of R s 800.Thus my net position is zero and I am perfectly hedged.

Scenario 2:If index falls by 10%, the value of the index becomes Rs 7200 a gain of Rs

800. But the value of the stock also falls by 8%. The value of this stock becomes Rs 9200

a loss of Rs 800Thus my net position is zero and I am perfectly hedged. But against, beta

is a predicated value based on regression models. Regression is nothing but also analysis

of past data. So there is a chance that the above position may not be fully hedged if the

beta does not behave as per the predicated value.

Using Options in Trading Strategy: Options are a great tool to use for trading. If you

feel the market will go up. You should are a call option at a level lower than what you

expect the market to go up. If you think that the market will fall, you should buy a put

option at a level higher than the level to which you expect the market fall. When we say

14


market, we mean the index. The same strategy can be used for individual stocks also. A

combination of futures and options can be used too, to make profits.

Strategy for an option writher to cover himself

An option writer can use a combination strategy of futures and options to protect

his position. The risk for an option writer arises only when the option is exercised this

will be very clear with an example.

Supposing I sell a call option on Satyam at a strike price of Rs 300 for a premium

of rs20. The risk arises only when the option is exercised. The option will be exercised

when the price exceeds rs 300. I start making a loss only after the price exceeds Rs 320

(Strick price plus premium).

More impotently, I have to deliver the stock to the opposite party. So to enable

me to deliver the stock to the other party and also make entire profit on premium, I buy a

future of Satyam at Rs 300. This is just one leg of the risk. The earlier risk was of the

called being exercised the risk now is that of the call not being exercised. In case the call

is not exercised, what do I do?

I will have to take delivery as I have brought a future. So minimize the risk, I buy

a put option on Satyam at Rs 300. But I also need to pay a premium for buying the

option. I pay Premium of Rs 10. Now I am fully covered and my net cash flow would be.

Premium earned from selling call option Rs 20.Premium paid to buy put option (Rs 10)

Net cash flow Rs 10.

But the above pay off will be possible only when the premium I am paying for

the put Option is lower than the premium that I get for writing the call. Similarly, we can

arrive at a covered position for waiting a put option two. Another interesting observation

is that the above strategy in itself presents an opportunity to make money. This is so

because of the premium differential in the put and the call option. So if one tracks the

derivatives make on a continuous basis, one can chance upon almost risk less money

making opportunities.

Other Strategies Using Derivatives

The other strategies are also various permutations of multiple puts, call and

futures. They are also called by exotic names, but if one were to observe them closely,

15


they are relatively simple instruments. Some of these instruments are

Butterfly Spread: It is the strategy of simultaneous buying of put and call

Calendar Spread: An option strategy in which a short-term option is sold and a longer-

term option is bought both having the same striking price. Either puts or calls may be

used.

Double Option: An option that gives the buyers the right to buy and/or sell a futures

contract, at a premium, at the strike price.

Straddle: The simultaneous purchase and sale of option of the same speculation to

different periods.

Tandem Options: A sequence of options of the same type, with variable strike price and

period.

Bermuda Option: Like the location of the Bermudas, this option is located somewhere

between a European style option with can be exercised only at maturity and an American

style option which can be exercised any time the option holder chooses. This option can

be exercise only on predetermined dates.

RISK MANAGEMENT IN DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are high-risk instrument and hence the exchanges have put up a lot of

measures to control this risk. The most critical aspect of risk management is the daily

monitoring of price and position and the margining of those positions.

NSE uses the SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk). SPAN is a system that

has origins at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, one of the oldest derivative exchanges

in the world.

The objective of SPAN is to monitor the positions and determine the maximum

loss that a stock can incur in a single day. This loss is covered by the exchange by

imposing mark to market margins.16


SPAN evaluates risk scenarios, which are nothing but market conditions. The

specific set of market conditions evaluated, are called the risk scenarios, and these are

defined in terms of

a) How much the price of the underlying instrument is expected to change over one

trading day, and

b) How much the volatility of that underlying price is expected to change over one

trading day?

Based on the SPAN measurement, margins are imposed and risk covered. Apart

from this, the exchange will have a minimum base capital of Rs. 50 lacks and brokers

need to pay additional base capital if they need margins above the permissible limits.

SETELLEMENT OF FUTURES

Mark to Market Settlement

There is daily settlement for Mark to Market. The profits/losses are computed as

the difference between the trade price or the precious day’s settlement price as the case

may be and the current day’s settlement price. The parties who have suffered a loss are

required to pay the mark-to-market loss amount to exchange which is in turning passed

on to the party who has made a profit. This is known as daily mark-to market settlement.

Theoretical daily settlement price for unexpired futures contracts, which are not traded

during the last half on a day, is currently the price computed as per the formula detailed

below.

F = S * e rt

WhereF = theoretical futures price

S = value of the underlying index/stock

r = rate of interest (MIBOR- Mumbai Inter Bank Offer Rate)

t = time to expiration

Rate of interest may be the relevant MIBOR rate or such other rate as may be

specified. After daily settlement, all the open positions are reset to the daily settlement

price. The pay-in and payout of the mark-to-market settlement is on T+1 days (T = Trade

day). The mark to market losses or profits are directly debited or credited to the broker

account from where the broker passes to client account.

17


Final Settlement

On the expiry of the futures contracts, exchange market all positions to the final

settlement price and the resulting profit/loss is settlement I cash. The final settlement of

the future contract is similar to the daily settlement process except for the method of

capon of final settlement price. The final settlement profit/loss is completed as the

difference between trade price or the previous day’s settlement price, as the case may be

and the final settlement price of the relevant futures contract.

Final settlement loss/profit amount is debited/credited to the relevant broker’s

clearing bank account on T + 1 day (T = expiry day). This is then passed on the client

from the broker. Open positions in futures contracts cease to exist after their expiration

day.

SETTLEMENT OF OPTIONS

Daily Premium Settlement

Premium settlement is cash settled and settlement style is premium style. The

premium payable position and premium receivable position are netted across all option

contract for each broker at the client level to determine the net premium payable or

receivable amount, at the end of each day.

The brokers who have a premium payable position are required to pay the

premium amount to exchange which is in turn passed on to the members who have a

premium receivable position. This is known as daily premium settlement. The brokers in

turn would take from their clients.

The pay-in and pay-out of the premium settlement is on T + 1) days (T = Trade

day). The premium payable amount and premium receivable amount are directly debited

or credited to the broker, from where it is passed on to the client.

Interim Exchange Settlement for Options on Individual Securities

Interim exchange settlement for Option contract on individual securities is

affected for valid exercised option at in-money strike price, at the close of the trading

hours, on the day of exercise. Valid exercise option contracts are assigned to short

position in option contracts with the same series, on a random basis. This interim 18


exercise settlement value is the difference between the strike price and the settlement

price of the relevant option contract. Exercise settlement value is debited/credited to the

relevant option broker account on T + 3 days (T = exercise date). From there it is passed

on to clits.

Final Exercise Settlement

Final Exercise settlement is effected for option positions at in-the-money strike

price existing at the close of trading hours, on the expiration day of an option contract.

Long position at in-the money strike price are automatically assigned to short positions in

option contracts with the same series, on a random basis. For index option individual

securities, exercise style is American style. Final Exercise is Automatic on expiry of the

option contracts.

Exercise settlement is cash settled by debiting/crediting of the clearing account

or the relevant broker with the respective Clearing Bank, from where it is passed

debited/credited to the relevant broker clearing bank account on T + 1 day (T = expiry

day), from where it is passed Final settlement loss/profit amount for option contracts on

Individual Securities is debited/credited to the relevant broker clearing bank account on T

+ 3 days (T = expiry day), from where it is passed Open positions, in option contracts,

cease to exist after their expiration day.

Options valuation using Black Scholes model

The black and Scholes Option Pricing model didn’t appear overnight, in fact,

Fisher Black started out working to create a valuation model for stock warrants. This

work involved calculating a derivative to measure how the discount rate of a warrant

varies with time and stock price. The result of this calculation held a striking resemblance

to a well-known heat transfer equation. Soon after this discovery, Myron Scholes joined

Black and the result of their work is a startlingly accurate option pricing model. Black

and Scholes can’t take all credit for their infect the model is actually an improved version

of a precious model developed by A. James Boness in his Ph.D. dissertation at the

University of Chicago. Black and scholes improvement on the Bones model come in the

from of a proof that the risk- free interest raise is the correct discount factor, and with the

absence of assumptions regarding investor’s risk preferences.

The model C = SN (d1) – Ke {-rt} N (d2)

19


C= Theoretical call premiumS= current stock pricet= time until option expirationK= option striking price r= risk-free interest rateN = Cumulative standard normal distribution D1 = in(S / K) + (r + s²/2)t

In order to understand the model itself, we divide into two parts. The first part,

SN (d1), derives the expected benefit from acquiring a stock outright. This is found by

multiplying stock price [S] by the change in the call premium with respect to a change in

the underlying stock price [N (d1)]. The second part of the model, Ke(-rt)N(d2), gives the

present value of paying the exercise price on the expiration day. The fair market value of

the call option is then calculated by taking the difference between these two parts.

Assumptions of the Black and Scholes Model

1) The stock pays no dividends during the option’s life: Most companies pay

dividends to their share holders, so this might see a serious limitation to the

model considering the observation that higher dividend yields elicit lower call

premiums. A common way of adjusting the model for this situation is subtract the

discounted value of a future dividend from the stock price.

2) European exercise terms are used : European exercise terms dictate that the

option can only be exercised on the expiration date. American exercise term

allow the option to be exercised at any time during the life of the option, making

American option more valuable due to their greater flexibility. This limitation is

not a major concern because very few calls are exercise before the last few days

of their life. This is true because when you exercise a call early, you forfeit the

remaining time value on the call and collect the intrinsic value. Towards the end

of the life of a call, the remaining time value is very small, but the iatric value is

the same.

3) Markets are efficient: This assumption suggests that people cannot consistent

predict the direction of the market or an individual stock. The market operates

continuously with share price followed a continuous it process. To understand

what a continues it processes, you must first known that m Markov process is

“one where the observation in time period at depends only on the preceding

observation”. An it process is simply a Marko process you would do so without

picking the pen up from the piece of paper.

20


4) No commissions are charged: Usually market participants do have to pay a

commission to buy or sell options. Even floor traders pay some kind of free, but it

is usually very small. The fees that Individual investor’s pay is more substantial

and can often distort the out put of the model.

5) Interest rates remain constant and know: The Black and Scholes model uses

the Risk-free rate to represent this constant and known rate. In reality there is no

such thing as the risk-free rate, but the discount rate on U.S. Government

Treasury Bills with 30 days left until maturity is usually used to represent it.

During periods of rapidly change interest rates, these 30 day rates are often

subject to change, thereby violating one of the assumptions of the model.

to develop the appropriate regulatory framework for derivatives trading in India. The

committee submitted its report in March 1998. On May 11, 1998 SEBI accepted the

recommendations of the committee and approved the phased introduction of

derivatives trading in India beginning with stock index futures. SEBI also approved

the “suggestive bye-laws” recommended by the committee for regulation and control

23


of trading settlement of derivatives contracts.

The provision in the SC(R)A and the regulatory framework developed there

human resources having right skills and expertise to provide quality intermediation

services in Each segment of the market. In order to dispense quality intermediation,

personnel providing services need to possess requisite skills and knowledge. This is

generally achieved through a system of testing and certification. Such testing and

25


certification has assumed added significance in India as there is no formal

education/training on financial Markers, especially in the area of operations. Taking into

account international experience and needs of the Indian financial Market, NSE offers

NCFM (NSE’ s Certification in Financial Markets) to test practical knowledge and

skills that are required to operate in financial markets in a very secure and unbiased

manner and to certify personnel with a view to improve quality of intermediation. NCFM

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

This stock exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as “BSE” was established in

1875 as “The Native share and stock brokers association” as a voluntary non-profit

Making association. It has an evolved over the year into its present status as the premiere

Stock exchange in the country .it may be noted that the stock exchange 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 insurers dressed 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 programmers.

A governing board comprising of 9 elected directors, 2 SEBI nominees, 7 public

representatives and an executive director is the apex body, which decides the policies and

regulates the affairs of the exchange.

The executive’s directors as the chief executive officer are responsible for the day

today administration of the exchange. The average daily turnover of the exchange during

the year 2000-01(April-March) was Rs 3984.19 corers and average number of Daily

trades 5.69 lakhs.

However the average daily turn over of the exchange during the year 2001-02 has

declined to R s. 1244 .10 cores and number of average daily trades during the period to

5.17 lakes.

The average daily turnover of the exchange during the year 2002-03 has declined

and number of average daily trades during the period is also decreased.

The Ban on all deferral products like BLESS AND ALBM in the Indian capital

markets by SEBI with effect from July 2, 2001, abolition of account period settlements,

introduction of compulsory rolling settlements in all scripts traded on the exchange with

effect from Dec 31, 2001, etc., have adversely imprecated the liquidity and consequently

there is a considerable decline in the daily turn over of the exchange present scenario is

110363 (laces) and number of average daily trades 1075 (laces)

BSE INDICES

In order to enable the market participants, analysts etc., to track the various ups and

32


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 movements

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 is 1978-79. The sensex is widely reported in

both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media.

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 stocks by the number of shares

outstanding. Statisticians call an all 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 calculation in order to market the value easier to work with and track over

a time. It much easier to graph a chart based on indexed values than one based on actual

values 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 Divisor

Keeps the Index comparable over a period or time and if the reference 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 has 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 Now 1992 with an equity capital of R s 25 Crs.

The international securities consultancy (ISC) of Hong Kong has helped in setting up

NSE. ISE has prepared the detailed business plans and installation 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 corporation ltd.

It has been set up to strengthen the move towards professionalisation of the capital

market as well provided 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

33


tier administrative set up involving a company board and a governing aboard of the

exchange 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 April 22, 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 futures and options.” Nifty” means national index for fifty

stocks.

The NSE-50 comprises 50 companies that represent 20 broad industry groups with

An aggregate market capitalization of around R s .1,70,000 crs. All companies included

in the index have a market capitalization in excess of R s 500 crs each and should have

traded for 85% of trading days at an impact cost of less than 1.5%.

The base period for the index is the close of prices 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

a board industry groups and will provide proper representation of the madcap segment of

the Indian capital market. All stocks in the index should have market capitalization of

greater than R s list of 200 cores and should have traded 85% of the trading days at an

impact cost of less 2.5%.

The base period for the index is Nov4, 1996, which signifies two years for

completion of operations of the capital market segment of the operations. The base value

of the Index has been set at 1000.

Average daily turnover of the present scenario 258212(laces) and number of

averages daily trades 2160(laces) At present, there are 24 stocks exchanges recognized

TRADING IN DERIVATIVES

Indian securities market has indeed waited for too long for derivatives trading to

emerge. Mutual fund, FIIs and other inventors who are deprived of hedging opportunities

will now have a derivatives market to bank on. First to emerge are the globally popular

variety – index futures.

While derivatives markets flourished in the developed world Indian markets remain

deprived of financial derivatives to the beginning of this millennium. While the rest of

the world progressed by leaps and bounds on the derivatives front, Indian market lagged

behind. Having emerging in the market of the developed nations in the 1970s, derivatives

markets grew from strength to strength. The trading volumes nearly doubled in every

Three years marking it a trillion-dollar business. They became so ubiquitous that, now,

one cannot think of the existence of financial markets without derivatives. Two broad

approaches of SEBI is integrate the securities market at the national level, And also to

diversify the trading products, so that more number of traders including Banks, financial

institutions, insurance companies, mutual fund, primary dealers etc. Choose to transact

through the ex change. In this context the introduction of derivatives trading through

Indian stock exchange permitted by SEBI IN 2000 AD is a real landmark.

SEBI first appointed the L.C Gupta Committee in 1998 to recommend the regulatory

Frame work for derivatives trading and to recommend suggestive bye-laws for regulation

And control of trading and settlement of derivatives contracts. The broad of SEBI in its

Meeting held on May 11,1998 accepted the recommendations of the Dr L.C Gupta

Committee and approved the phased introduction of derivatives trading in India 42


beginning with Stock Index Futures. The Board also approved the “Suggestive Bye-

laws” recommended by the committee for regulation and control of trading and

settlement of Derivatives Contracts.

SEBI subsequently appointed the J. R. Varna Committee to recommend Risk

containment Measures in the Indian stock index Futures Market. The report was

submitted in the same year (1998) in the month of November by the said committee.

However the Securities Contracts (REGULATION) Act, 1956 (SCRA0 need

amendment to include” derivatives” in the definition of securities to enable SEBI to

introduce trading in derivatives. The government in the year 1999 carried out the

necessary amendment. The securities laws (amendment) bill 1999 was introduced to

bring about the much-needed changes. In December 1999 the new framework has been

approved. Derivatives have been accorded the statues of ‘securities’. The ban imposed on

trading in derivatives way back in 1969 under a notification issued by the central

government has been revoked. Therefore SEBI formulated the necessary regulation/bye-

laws and intimated the stock exchange in year 2000, while derivative trading started in

India at NSE in the same Year and BSE started trading in the year 2001. In this module

we are covering the different types of derivative products and their features, which are

traded in the stock exchanges in India.

EQUITY DERIVATIVES EXCHANGES IN INDIA

• . In the equity markets both the national stock exchange of India Ltd. (NSE)

and The stock exchange, Mumbai (BSE) was quick to apply to SEBI for setting

Up There derivatives segment.

• NSE as stated earlier commends derivatives trading in the same year i.e. 2000

AD, while BSE followed after a few months in 2001.

• Both the exchange have set-up an in-house segment instead of setting up a

Separate exchange for derivates.

• NSE’s Futures & Options Segment was launched with Nifty futures as the first

Production.

• BSE’s Derivatives Segment, started with sensex futures as its first product.

43


• Stock options and stock futures were introduced in both the Exchange in the year

2001.

Thus started trading in Derivatives in India Stock Exchanges (both BSE & NSE)

Covering index options, Index Futures, and Stock Options & Futures in the wake of the

new millennium in a short span of three years the volume traded in the derivatives

Market has outstripped the turnover of the cash market.

Derivatives Trading in Financial Markets

Derivatives were not traded in the financial markets of the world up to the period

about there decades backs, through Stock Exchange trading in securities in the cash

market came to be in vogue more than a century ago. In Indian the first Stock Exchange,

BSE was established in1875. But BSE commenced trading in derivatives only from

2001.Even in the international finance/securities market the advent of derivatives as

trading products was a concurrent-effect with the process of globalization and integration

the national economies of the development countries beginning from the Seventies of the

last Century. As volumes traded increased and as competition on turned, trade & business

became more complex in the new environment. The new opportunities were matched by

fresh challenges and unpredictable volatility of the trading environment. Corporate for

the first time sensed the formidable risks inherent in business transactions and the

unpredictability of the markets to which they are exposed. Facing multiple risks the

business organization, were induced to search for new remedies, i.e. risk containment

devices/instrument. Derivatives came to be the natural remedy in this context. To quote

an international professional authority.

“As capital markets become increasingly integrated, shocks transmit easily from

one market to another. The proliferation of new instruments with has become darling of

corporate, banks, institutions alike is ‘Derivatives’. To have a touch of the tree top’s

view, Derivatives transaction is defined as a bilateral contract whose value is derived,

from the value of an underlying asset, or reference rate, or index.

Derivative transaction have evolved in the past twenty years to cover a broad

range of products which include instruments like ‘forward’, ‘future’, ‘options’, ‘swaps’

covering a broad spectrum of underlying assets including exchange rates, interest rate,

commodities, and equities.”

Through recent in origin derivates instrument issued over the years have grown

44


by leaps and bounds and the total amount issued globally is estimated to approach $80

trillion by the advent of the new millennium. Derivatives position has growth at

compounding rate 20% since 1990. In Indian through derivatives were introduced very

recently in2001, the trading turnover has already surpassed that of the equity segment. In

NSE alone as per a report on ors website the total turnover of the derivates segment for

the month of May 2003 stood at Rs. 53424 crores. During the month of May 2003, the

percentage of derivatives segment as a percentage of the cash segment was 97.68%.

However in the earlier two month the turnover of Derivatives was higher than that of the

cash segment.

Developments Leading to Trading of Financial Derivatives in the USA “The pace of innovation in derivatives markets increased remarkably in the 1970s.

The first major innovation occurred in February 1972, when the Chicago

mercantile Exchange CME began trading futures on currencies in its International

Money Market (IMM) division. This marked the first time a futures contract was

written on anything other than a physical commodity.

The second was in April 1973, when the CBT formed Chicago Board Options

Exchange (CBOE) to trade options on common stocks. This marked the first

time an option was traded on an exchange.

The third major innovation occurred in October 1975, when the CBT introduced

The first futures contract on an interest rare instrument – Government National

Mortgage Association futures.

In January 1976, the CME launched Treasury bill futures and, in August 1977,

the CBT launched Treasury bond futures.

The 1980s brought yet another round of important innovations. The first was the

use of cash settlement. In December 1981, the IMM launched the first cash

Settlement contracts, the 3-months Eurodollar futures. At expiration, the

Eurodollar future is settled in cash based on the interest rate prevailing for a

three month Eurodollar time deposit.

Cash settlement made feasible the introduction of derivatives on stock index

futures, the second major innovation of the 1980s. in February 1982, the

Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT) listed futures on the Value Line Composite

stock index, and, in April 1982, the CME listed futures on the S&P 500.these

45


contract introductions marked the first time future that contracts were written on

stock indexes.

The third major innovation of the 1980s was the introduction of exchange-traded

option contracts written on ‘UNDERLYING’ other than individual common

stocks. The CBOE and AMEX listed interest rate options in October 1982 and the

Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHILX) listed currency options in December 1982

as also options and gold futures.

In January 1983, the CME and year New York Futures Exchanges (NYFE) began

to list options directly on stock index futures, and, March 1983, the CBOE began

to list options on stock indexes.

These two decades if innovation has transformed the nature of derivatives

trading activates on exchanges. While derivatives exchange were originally

developed to help market participants manage the price risk of physical commodities,

today’s trading activates is focused on hedging the financial risks associated with

unanticipated price movement in stock, bonds, and currencies.

A call must be worth at least the stock price less the present value of the exercise price.

More the time till expiration, greater the call price.

More the volatility, higher the call option premium.

The price difference between two puts cannot exceed the different in exercise

59


prices.

Before expiration, a put must be worth at least the difference between the exercise

price and the stock price.
