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 committees

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.

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 investors
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 Derivatives
Derivatives 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.

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--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 todays 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

Raghavendra

Page 5

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

7/20/2012

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 sixmonth 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

Raghavendra

Page 7

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 8

7/20/2012

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

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 NSEs 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 investors 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

Raghavendra

Page 10

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 11

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 12

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 13

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 14

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 15

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 16

7/20/2012

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 longerterm 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

Raghavendra

Page 17

7/20/2012

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 days settlement price as the case
may be and the current days 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
Where
F = 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.

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 days 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 brokers
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.

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

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 didnt 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 cant 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 investors risk preferences.

The model
C = SN (d1) Ke {-rt} N (d2)
19

Raghavendra

Page 20

7/20/2012

C= Theoretical call premium

S= current stock price
t= time until option expiration
K= option striking price
r= risk-free interest rate
N = Cumulative standard normal distribution
D1 = in(S / K) + (r + s/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 options 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

Raghavendra

Page 21

7/20/2012

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 investors 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.

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

Page 26

7/20/2012

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
offers a comprehensive range of Modules covering many different areas in finance

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 executives 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

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 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

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 NSEs capital market segment. The base value of
the index has been set at 1000.
NSE MIDCAP INDEX

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

Raghavendra

Page 43

7/20/2012

beginning with Stock Index Futures. The Board also approved the Suggestive Byelaws 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/byelaws 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.

NSEs Futures & Options Segment was launched with Nifty futures as the first
Production.

BSEs Derivatives Segment, started with sensex futures as its first product.
43

Raghavendra

Page 44

7/20/2012

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 tops
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

Raghavendra

Page 45

7/20/2012

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

Raghavendra

Page 46

7/20/2012

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,
todays trading activates is focused on hedging the financial risks associated with
unanticipated price movement in stock, bonds, and currencies.

In the nutshell, we can formulate the basic rules for options pricing as follows:
For calls
Lower the strike (exercise) price, the more valuable the call.
Different in call prices cannot exceed difference in the exercise price.
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.
Higher the interest rates, more the call value.

For puts
Higher the exercise price, more valuable the put.
The price difference between two puts cannot exceed the different in exercise
59

Raghavendra

7/20/2012

prices.
Before expiration, a put must be worth at least the difference between the
exercise
price and the stock price.
Longer the time to expiration, the more voluble the put.
More the volatility, higher the put premium.
Higher the interest rate, lower the put value.
