1) The document discusses bonds and bond pricing, including the basic concepts of bonds, how bonds are evaluated and priced, and how to construct bond amortization schedules.
2) Key formulas are presented for pricing a bond using the basic price formula and constructing bond premium or discount amortization schedules using the effective interest method.
3) Examples are provided to illustrate bond pricing, including pricing between coupon dates, and constructing bond premium and discount amortization schedules.
Futures and forwards are contracts that require deferred delivery of an underlying asset or cash settlement at a future date. A future is a standardized contract traded on an exchange, while a forward is a customized over-the-counter contract. Forwards are useful when futures do not exist for certain commodities/financials or when standard futures terms do not match needs. Forwards involve counterparty risk while futures involve clearinghouse guarantees.
The document provides an overview of derivatives concepts, including the different types of derivatives contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, and options. It discusses key terms like underlying assets, features of derivatives, and important concepts in options. The history of derivatives trading in India is covered, along with the regulatory framework and guidelines put forth by committees like the L.C. Gupta Committee and J.R. Verma Committee.
The document discusses currency derivatives, including forward contracts, futures contracts, and options. It provides details on:
- How forward contracts allow corporations to lock in future exchange rates for currency exchanges.
- How futures contracts standardize currency amounts and settlement dates for exchange on an futures exchange.
- The types of currency options (calls and puts) and how their values are determined by the relationship between the strike price and spot rate.
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is dependent on an underlying asset. There are several types of derivatives including forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Derivatives allow participants to hedge risks, speculate, or engage in arbitrage. Derivatives can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter. Common derivatives include commodity derivatives, financial derivatives, and complex derivatives involving interest rates. Forwards, futures, options, and swaps each have unique features regarding trading, settlement, and valuation. Overall, derivatives help investors and businesses manage risks in global financial markets.
Swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows over time. The key types of swaps discussed in the document are interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and credit default swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest payments in the same currency, while currency swaps exchange payments in different currencies and may also exchange principal amounts. Credit default swaps provide credit protection to the buyer in the event of default by a reference entity. Swaps are used for hedging risks and reducing borrowing costs.
This document discusses forward contracts and prepaid forward contracts on stocks. It defines forward contracts and prepaid forward contracts, and describes three methods for pricing prepaid forward contracts: by analogy, by discounted present value, and by arbitrage. It also discusses how to price prepaid forwards when the underlying stock pays discrete or continuous dividends. The document explains that forward contracts allow fixing a future price without an upfront payment, and the forward price is the future value of the prepaid forward price discounted by the risk-free rate minus the dividend yield. Finally, it notes that while the forward price predicts the expected future spot price, it systematically underpredicts it due to the risk premium on the underlying stock.
The document discusses various portfolio revision strategies, including formula plans, rupee cost averaging, constant rupee plans, and variable ratio plans. Formula plans provide rules for buying and selling securities to time the market. Rupee cost averaging involves regularly investing fixed amounts to lower average costs. Constant plans maintain a fixed investment amount or ratio between aggressive and conservative holdings. Variable ratio plans change proportions based on market trends.

This chapter discusses interest rate swaps and currency swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest rate payment obligations on a set notional principal between two counterparties, while currency swaps involve the exchange of principal and interest rate payment obligations in different currencies. The size of the global swap market is substantial, with over $127 trillion in notional principal outstanding for interest rate swaps and over $7 trillion for currency swaps as of mid-2004. The chapter covers the role of swap banks, how swaps are quoted in the market, the mechanics of interest rate and currency swaps, and risks involved in swap transactions.
This document summarizes different types of swap contracts. It begins with an overview of interest rate swaps, including how they allow entities to exchange fixed and variable rate financing. It then describes currency swaps, commodity swaps, credit default swaps, and equity swaps. For each type, it provides a definition and example to illustrate how the swap works. The presentation was given by Paulo Martins and Vilma Jordão to explain the role of swap contracts and how they can help companies manage financial risks.
This document discusses currency derivatives markets. It explains how forward contracts, currency futures contracts, and currency options contracts work and how multinational corporations and speculators use them to hedge against or speculate on anticipated exchange rate movements. Forward contracts allow corporations to lock in exchange rates for future currency needs. Currency futures contracts are traded on exchanges and standardized, while options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell a currency at a set price.
Role of derivative in the current economyShishiraDs
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on an underlying asset. There are several types of derivatives including forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Derivatives allow participants like hedgers and speculators to manage risks and implement asset allocation strategies. Derivatives play an important role in modern economies by facilitating price discovery, risk management techniques, and increasing market efficiency.
This presentation discusses hedging as a tool for offsetting exchange rate risk. It covers different types of hedging techniques including forward market hedges, money market hedges, and hedging with swaps. Forward market hedges use forward contracts to lock in exchange rates for expected foreign currency cash flows. Money market hedges involve borrowing and lending in different currencies to lock in home currency values. Swaps allow two companies with foreign currency receivables and payables to exchange them, effectively hedging each other's exchange rate risk. Examples are provided to illustrate how each hedging technique works.
This document provides an introduction to option contracts, including definitions, key features, advantages and disadvantages, and types of options. It discusses call and put options, as well as European and American options. Key terminology for options like long, short, strike price, in-the-money, out-of-the-money, and at-the-money are also explained. The document is intended to provide a basic understanding of stock options and how they can be used.
A forward contract is a customized agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined future date and price, with no upfront payment required. It is used primarily for hedging and has counterparty risk.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement traded on a futures exchange to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined future date and price, with an initial margin payment required. It is used more for speculation and has low counterparty risk due to clearing house guarantees.
The key differences are that forward contracts are customized over-the-counter agreements while futures contracts are standardized exchange-traded agreements, with futures requiring an initial margin and having a clearing house to reduce counterparty risk.
This document provides an overview of derivatives and forward markets. It defines derivatives as products whose value is derived from underlying variables like assets, indices, or rates. Common derivative products discussed include forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Forwards involve private contracts to buy or sell an asset at a future date, while futures are standardized exchange-traded forwards. Options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell an asset. Swaps involve exchanging cash flows of underlying items like interest rates or currencies. The document also discusses key participants in derivatives markets like hedgers who manage risk, speculators who take positions based on price views, brokers who facilitate trades, and market makers who provide liquidity.

The document discusses various types of financial derivatives including futures, forwards, options, and swaps. It explains that derivatives derive their value from underlying assets and are used to hedge risk or profit from price changes. Futures contracts are exchange-traded standardized agreements to buy or sell assets at a future date, while other derivatives like forwards and swaps are customized over-the-counter transactions.
This document discusses managing bond portfolios. It defines what bonds are and describes their key features like par value, coupon rate, maturity date, and yield to maturity. It also covers bond pricing concepts such as yield to maturity, duration, convexity, and how bond prices relate to interest rates. Finally, it provides examples of bonds issued in Nepal.
Passive bond strategies involve less active management and rely on known inputs like risk tolerance at the time of investment. Two main types are buy-and-hold, which selects bonds to match the investor's horizon with minimal trading, and indexing, which constructs a portfolio matching a bond index. Active strategies try to maximize returns through interest rate forecasts, selecting undervalued bonds, credit analysis of issuers, or yield spread trades between bonds. Matched-funding techniques combine passive and active approaches for higher returns than buy-and-hold but less than fully active management.
This document discusses equity swaps, which allow two parties to exchange cash flows from different assets. Specifically, it can involve exchanging cash flows from an equity index for those from a short-term interest rate benchmark. Equity swaps provide benefits like managing portfolio risk, taking long or short positions synthetically, and aligning investments with risk appetite. As an example, a fund manager may receive equity index returns and pay a floating rate linked to LIBOR in an equity swap trade with a bank dealer seeking to reduce equity exposure. The swap spread is set so the present values of cash flows from both sides are equal at inception.
The document summarizes the history and types of derivatives in India. It discusses:
- Futures trading began in India in 1875 through the Bombay Cotton trade association. The government later banned some derivatives until 1995-1999 when regulations were amended.
- Derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps, and options, whose values are derived from underlying assets. Common underlying assets include commodities, currencies, interest rates and stocks.
- The main purpose of derivatives is to transfer risk from one party to another through hedging. This allows farmers, for example, to guarantee prices and encourage investment.
A swap is an agreement between two counterparties to exchange cash flow streams, such as interest payments or currencies. The main types of swaps discussed are interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and forex swaps. An interest rate swap involves exchanging interest payments, such as a fixed rate for a floating rate. A currency swap exchanges principal and interest payments in different currencies. A forex swap is an agreement to buy one currency now and sell it back in the future at an agreed upon exchange rate.
Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is dependent on an underlying asset. The three main types of derivatives are forwards, futures, and options. Forwards and futures are contracts to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a predetermined price, while options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell an asset at a strike price. Derivatives allow traders to hedge risk, reduce transaction costs, manage portfolios, and enhance liquidity in markets.
Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on an underlying asset. The three main types of participants in derivatives markets are hedgers who use derivatives to reduce risk, speculators who try to profit from price movements, and arbitrageurs who take advantage of temporary price differences. Common derivatives include forward contracts which require delivery of the asset, and futures contracts which are exchange-traded and involve daily settlement. Options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell the underlying asset and have non-linear payoffs. Key models for pricing derivatives include the cost-of-carry model and Black-Scholes options pricing formula.
Descriptions and explanation of all types of derivative instruments to trade with on the capital market.

1) Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specified future date. Commodity futures involve agricultural and industrial goods, while financial futures are based on stock indexes, interest rates, and currencies.
2) Futures contracts are used by hedgers seeking to offset price risk and speculators hoping to profit from price changes. Clearinghouses associated with exchanges guarantee trades and regulate deliveries.
3) The theoretical futures price is determined by arbitrage and equals the current cash price plus the cost of carry until the futures contract expires. Basis risk and cross-hedging risk can reduce the effectiveness of hedging strategies using futures.
The key principle behind buying a company is to create shareholder value over and above that of the sum of the two companies. Two companies together are more valuable than two separate companies - at least, that's the reasoning behind M&A.

There’s growing recognition in the analyst community that reference data is a form of master data that requires its own governance. Locations, currency codes, financial accounts, and organizational hierarchies are so widely used in an organization that mismatches can result in: reconciliation issues, poor quality analytics or even transactional failures.
While it’s easy to see how poor reference data management (RDM) can cause problems, many companies struggle with determining how to get started. Multiple questions arise: What’s the scope? How should one choose between RDM solutions? How do I compute ROI? To answer these questions and more, Orchestra Networks teamed up with Aaron Zornes, Chief Research Office of the MDM Institute and Godfather of MDM, for: Everything you ever wanted to know about Reference Data (but were afraid to ask).
In this hour long webcast featuring Aaron Zornes (MDM Institute) and Conrad Chuang (Orchestra Networks) you will learn the:

The document discusses the foreign exchange market. It provides an overview of market participants including individuals, firms, banks and more. It also outlines various financial instruments commonly used in forex trading like spots, forwards, futures and options. Additionally, it covers the history and size of the market as well as key concepts such as interest rate parity and reasons for executing non-deliverable forwards contracts.
This document discusses various types of corporate actions and provides details on dividends. It defines corporate actions as events that materially impact a company's shareholders or bondholders. Different types of corporate actions covered include dividends, bonus issues, rights issues, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, and buybacks. Dividends are defined as a share of company profits distributed to shareholders. There are three types of dividends: cash dividends, stock dividends, and property dividends. The objectives of dividends are to earn profits for shareholders and distribute some profits while reinvesting others in the business. Accounting treatment requires dividends be declared from profits and reduces profits by the dividend amount.
This document outlines Euromoney Indices' methodology for handling corporate actions and events in the calculation of market capitalization weighted indices. It describes how various types of corporate actions are treated, including scrip issues, splits, write-ups/offs of capital, redenominations, rights issues, additions/deletions of constituents, suspensions, mergers and acquisitions, and dividends. For each event type, it provides the formulas used to adjust share quantities, stock prices, index divisors, and total return calculations. It also includes an example appendix demonstrating the calculations.
This document discusses and provides examples of different research designs, including experimental and quasi-experimental designs. Experimental designs use random assignment and manipulation of an independent variable, with a control group for comparison. Quasi-experimental designs lack random assignment. True experiments use pre-test/post-test designs or post-test only designs. Quasi-experiments include non-equivalent control group designs and time series designs. Pre-experimental designs like one-shot case studies and one group pre-test/post-test designs provide little value due to the lack of control groups. Non-experimental designs do not manipulate variables and can only study correlation, not causation.
The capital market deals in long-term securities with maturities over 1 year that are less liquid but offer higher returns due to more risk. The money market deals in short-term securities with maturities under 1 year that are highly liquid but offer lower returns due to less risk. Instruments in the capital market include equity, bonds, and derivatives, while the money market includes treasury bills, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit.
1. The document discusses various derivatives trading concepts such as futures contracts, forward contracts, and options. It explains that futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date, while forward contracts are customized agreements with physical delivery of the asset.
2. Options are described as contracts that give the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on or before the expiration date. The main types are calls, which are rights to buy, and puts, which are rights to sell.
3. Participants in futures markets are identified as hedgers who protect their positions, speculators who take risks seeking profits, and arbitrageurs who exploit
1) A derivative is a financial security whose value is based on an underlying asset such as a stock, bond, commodity, currency, interest rate, or market index. Common types of derivatives are forwards, futures, options, and swaps.
2) Forwards and futures are contracts that obligate the buyer and seller to perform the contract at a specified price on a future date. Options give the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying asset. Swaps involve exchanging cash flows between two parties.

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, or market indexes. The value of a derivative changes in response to changes in the value of the underlying asset. Derivatives include forwards, futures, options, and swaps and can be traded over-the-counter or on exchanges. They allow investors to hedge risks, speculate on price movements, and gain exposure to markets or assets they could not otherwise access.
Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset. The three main types of derivatives are forwards, futures, and options. Forwards are customized contracts traded over-the-counter, while futures are standardized contracts traded on an exchange. Options give the holder the right but not obligation to buy or sell the underlying asset. Swaps involve exchanging cash flows of one party's financial instrument for those of another party. Derivatives allow parties to manage financial risks and speculate in the market.
This document provides an introduction and overview of derivatives, including their history, types, and uses. It discusses futures, forwards, and options contracts.

The document provides an introduction to derivatives markets. It defines derivatives as financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset. Major classes of derivatives discussed include futures, forwards, options, and swaps. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset in the future. Forwards are similar but traded over-the-counter and non-standardized. Options provide the right to buy or sell the underlying asset. Swaps involve exchanging one set of cash flows for another. Derivatives are used for hedging risk, speculation, and arbitrage opportunities.
A financial futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial asset like a stock, bond, currency, or index at a predetermined price and date. These contracts are standardized and traded on an exchange. There are several types of financial futures including interest rate futures, foreign currency futures, stock index futures, and bond index futures. Participants in the futures market include hedgers who aim to reduce risk, speculators who try to earn profits from price movements, arbitrageurs who seek riskless profits from pricing discrepancies, and spreaders who take positions to lower risk. The key functions of futures markets are hedging risk, price discovery, financing, providing liquidity, and stabilizing prices.

5. Financial Investments: A Risky Business
Risk is a constant companion for all the
participants of the financial markets.
When participants deal with financial
instruments, they face a risk of
Financial Loss owing to fluctuations
in prices.
Derivatives were introduced initially to mitigate this risk or to hedge.
Subsequently, the scope of speculation increased with derivatives.
6. What are Derivatives?
Derivatives are financial contracts whose values
are derived from the values of underlying assets.
Seller Buyer
Rice @ Rs. 120 / kilo
Asset
CONTRACT
Derivatives are financial instruments or an agreement
between two people or parties that has a value determined
by the price of something else (the underlying).
7. Derivatives: Underlying Asset
Underlying Asset Types
Non-financial InstrumentsFinancial Instruments
Equities, Bonds, etc
Commodities, Weather, etc
The underlying of a derivative is an asset, basket of assets, index, or even another
derivative, such that the cash flows of the derivative depend on the value of this
underlying.
8. Speculating and Hedging
Derivatives are used for speculating and hedging the
risks associated with fluctuating prices of assets.
I think the price of
rice will go UP in
the future and I will
make a profit.
I think the price of rice
will go DOWN in the
future and I will make a
loss if I hold on to the
asset.
HEDGE
Derivatives can used to hedge if
market moves exactly opposite to
their expectation
SPECULATE
Derivatives can be used by participants
to speculate and to make a profit if the
market moves as expected by them.

9. Understanding Derivatives
How do you determine the value of the underlying?
UNDERLYING ASSET:
RICE
SPOT PRICE
(CURRENT VALUE) FUTURE MARKET VALUE: ??
Rs. 200
per kilo
Rs. 40
per kilo
Rs. 100
per kilo ?
• If a commodity cost $100, should the price be same if the same commodity
were to be traded today but delivered by the seller after 3 months?
• If the price has to be different from the Spot Price ($100), how should the
price be determined?
• The Price in future will be derived from the Spot Price. This explains the
definition of Derivatives.
10. Understanding Derivatives
UNDERLYING ASSET:
RICE
SPOT PRICE
(CURRENT VALUE)
Rs. 200

Rs. 100
per kilo ?
A buyer wants to trade today, agree
on the price but would like to pay at
a later date.
The seller would like to agree and
lock the price but deliver the
commodity at a later date.
In such a scenario, what should the price of the contract?
Since the seller would be incurring additional cost for storing the goods until
delivery and would also be losing on the opportunity of using the consideration,
he will have to be compensated for this by making the buyer pay additional
amount.
PRICE OF THE
CONTRACT: ??
11. Calculating the Price of Derivative Contract
Formula for Financial Derivatives
Futures Price = Spot Price X (1 + i)
n
Where:
i is the rate of interest
n is the period of the contract
How do you calculate the price of a derivatives contract?
Formula for Commodity Derivatives
Forwards Price = Spot Price + Cost of carry
Where cost of carry includes:
Warehousing, transportation
Insurance cost
Interest rate
12. No ownership rights associated with the asset sold.
Features of Derivatives
Depending on the underlying asset on which
the derivative was created, derivatives can
be either:
Commodity
derivatives
Financial
derivatives
Derivative contracts can be
traded:
• On the stock
exchange
• Over-the-counter
(OTC)
The derivative contract is traded, not the underlying asset.
A derivative contract is priced separately from the asset.
Without putting up full cash value.
The derivative contract can be delivery based or cash settled.
14. Value of a Derivatives Contract
The value of a derivatives contract is influenced by several factors:
TIMING OF THE CONTRACT
• Market trends affects the value
of the derivative contracts as in
the Bear or Bull markets.
• As derivatives derives its value,
in a bull market with rising
prices the value is affected or
vice versa.
VALUE OF UNDERLYING
• From the definition of
“Derivatives” the value of the
underlying directly influences
the contract.
OTHER FACTORS
• Other factors like volatility
15. Why Derivatives?
HEDGINGSPECULATION
• Derivatives are used for
speculation/investing.
• Some participants expect the
market to move as per their
expectation and they take this
risk in anticipation of greater
rewards.
• There are participants who
expect market to do a flipside
on them and therefore take a
passive view of derivatives.
• They use derivatives to
mitigate the same risk which
speculators take to make
profits.
I think the price of
rice will go UP in
the future and I will
make a profit.
I think the price of rice
will go DOWN in the
future and I will make a
loss if I hold on to the
asset.
16. Role of Speculators
If the futures price hover around the theoretical price in the futures market,
who will trade in futures market?
Here is where the speculator comes into the picture.
Looking at the prevailing futures price, they might have views, which might
be either bullish or bearish.
17. Role of Speculators
Expecting the spot price to go up.
Technically, it is a view that the spot
market price at the day of the expiry of
contract will be higher than the
agreed/prevailing futures price in the
market.
Expecting the spot price to go
down. Technically, it is a view that
the spot market price at the day of
the expiry of contract will be lower
than the agreed/prevailing futures
price in the market.
Bullish view:
Bearish view:
18. Role of Hedgers
Hedgers enters the market to protect
their investment in the underlying.
They can easily transfer the risk to a
counter party who has an opposite
need or view about the market.
Their main focus is their core business. Their aim is to evade the risk of
loss due to price fluctuation in the market of the underlying.
19. Examples of Hedging
Portfolio Manager: A portfolio manager is worried about the fall in the
market value of a particular security, which he wants to hold for the next
three months. How can he mitigate the risk?
Input cost of construction company: A construction company is
worried about the increasing cost of concrete steel rods. These steel rods are
also traded on the futures market. How can the company eliminate the effect
of price raise in their project?
Exporter of Garments: An exporter of garments to US is expected to
receive 100,000 USD from his vender after three months. However he
worries about the change in the exchange rate at the time when he receives
his payment from his customer. If the domestic currency appreciates, against
USD, he would lose. How can he mitigate the risk?
• Hedgers are averse of risk and want to concentrate on their core business
activity.
• Speculators are ready to take risk based on their judgment in order to earn
from the price movement.
• Hence it is a tool to transfer the risk from the hedgers to the speculator.
Importance of Speculators to the Hedgers:
20. Summary
• Derivatives are financial contracts whose values are derived from the
values of underlying assets.
• Assets can be financial instruments or non-financial instruments.
Accordingly a derivative can be a financial derivative or a commodity
derivative.
• Derivatives can be used by participants to speculate and to make a profit
if the market moves as expected by them.
• Alternatively, derivatives can also be used as a hedging tool to mitigate
risks if market moves exactly opposite to their expectation.
• The derivative contract is traded not the underlying asset.
• The value of a derivatives contract is determined by the timing of the
contract, value of the underlying security or commodity, and volatility in
the market.
• Derivatives are a tool to transfer the risk from the hedger to the
speculator.
