Minimising risk case-1
The company can lock in the exchangerate by entering into an advance contractand forget about any fluctuation in theexchange rate. Suppose, the six-monthforward exchange rate is Rs39.00/$ Thecompany can make an agreement at spotrate at 39.76 in the spot market or at alesser price. At the time of receiving dollar,it will exchange $500,000 at Rs39.76= Rs1,98,80,000. or agreed price.

Case 2
You have imported machinery for $ 100,000 on 180 dayscredit at zero interest. The dollar quotes at Rs 39. Isthis deal risk free?
7/30/2019 A) Introduction to Derivatives (1)
6/32
CASE 2 CONTINUED
This deal is not free of risk because after sixmonths when you pay the loan, if the dollarquotes anything more than Rs39., say Rs 40,you will end up paying more [Rs 1 extra forevery $ 1, which is equivalent to Rs 100,000additional cost]. On the other hand, if the dollarquotes anything less than Rs 39, you will standto gain
The question here is not whether you stand togain or loose it is the riskyou are taking

CASE3 CONTINUED
This deal is not free of risk because thereis no guarantee that Wipros shares wouldtouch Rs 3,950 in six months time.
The share prices could rise beyond Rs3,950 or could also fall below Rs 3,500giving you no return on investment andyou could stand to loose some portion ofyour investment

Financial instruments
The recommendation letter is a derivativeinstrument. It gives you a right to buy the ticket
The underlying asset is the ticket
The letter does not constitute ownership of theticket
It is indeed a promise to convey ownership
The value of the letter changes with changes inthe price of the ticket. It derives its value fromthe value of the ticket

Different risk coverage
Firms are exposed to several risks in the ordinary courseof operations and borrowing funds.
For some risks, management can obtain protectionfrom an insurance company(fire,loss of profit,loss of
stock,marine insurance) Similarly, there are capital market products available to
protect against certain risks. Such risks include risksassociated with a rise in the price of commoditypurchased as an input, a decline in a commodity
price of a product the firm sells, a rise in the cost ofborrowing funds and an adverse exchange ratemovement. The instruments that can be used toprovide such protection are called derivative instruments

HEDGING
Hedge is an investment position intended to offset potential lossesthat may be incurred by a companion investment.
A hedge can be constructed from many types of financialinstruments, including stocks, exchange-traded funds, insurance,forward contracts, swaps, options, many types of over-the-counterand derivative products, and futures contracts.
Public futures markets were established in the 19th century to allowtransparent, standardized, and efficient hedging of agriculturalcommodity prices; they have since expanded to include futurescontracts for hedging the values of energy, precious metals, foreigncurrency, and interest rate fluctuations.

A typical hedger might be a commercialfarmer.
The market values of wheat and othercrops fluctuate constantly as supply anddemand for them vary, with occasionallarge moves in either direction.

17/32
Example continued
Based on current prices and forecastlevels at harvest time, the farmer mightdecide that planting wheat is a good idea
one season,
. Once the farmer plants wheat, he iscommitted to it for an entire growing
season.
7/30/2019 A) Introduction to Derivatives (1)
18/32
Example continued
If the actual price of wheat rises greatly betweenplanting and harvest, the farmer stands to makea lot of unexpected money,
But if the actual price drops by harvest time, hecould be ruined.
If at planting time the farmer sells a number ofwheat futures contracts equivalent to hisanticipated crop size, he effectively locks in theprice of wheat at that time
7/30/2019 A) Introduction to Derivatives (1)
19/32
Example continued
The contract is an agreement to deliver a certain numberof bushels of wheat to a specified place on a certain datein the future for a certain fixed price.
The farmer has hedged his exposure to wheat prices; heno longer cares whether the current price rises or falls,because he is guaranteed a price by the contract.
He no longer needs to worry about being ruined by a lowwheat price at harvest time,
but he also gives up the chance at making extra moneyfrom a high wheat price at harvest times.

Hedging a stock price
A stock trader believes that the stock price ofCompany A will rise over the next month, due tothe company's new and efficient method of
producing widgets. He wants to buy Company Ashares to profit from their expected priceincrease. But Company A is part of the highlyvolatile widget industry. If the trader simply
bought the shares based on his belief that theCompany A shares were underpriced, the trade
would be a speculation.

price..continued
Since the trader is interested in thecompany, rather than the industry, hewants to hedge out the industry risk by
short selling an equal value (number ofshares price) of the shares of Company
A's direct competitor, Company B.
7/30/2019 A) Introduction to Derivatives (1)
22/32
The first day the trader's portfolio is:
Long 1,000 shares of Company A at $1each
Short 500 shares of Company B at $2each
(Notice that the trader has sold short thesame value of shares)
7/30/2019 A) Introduction to Derivatives (1)
23/32
On the second day, a favorable news story about thewidgets industry is published and the value of all widgetsstock goes up. Company A, however, because it is astronger company, increases by 10%, while Company B
increases by just 5%: Long 1,000 shares of Company A at $1.10 each: $100
gain
Short 500 shares of Company B at $2.10 each: $50 loss
(In a short position, the investor loses money when theprice goes up.)
The trader might regret the hedge on day two, since itreduced the profits on the Company A position.

But on the third day, an unfavorable news story is published aboutthe health effects of widgets, and all widgets stocks crash: 50% iswiped off the value of the widgets industry in the course of a fewhours. Nevertheless, since Company A is the better company, itsuffers less than Company B:
Value of long position (Company A):
Day 1: $1,000
Day 2: $1,100
Day 3: $550 => ($1,000 $550) = $450 loss
Value of short position (Company B): Day 1: $1,000
Day 2: $1,050
Day 3: $525 => ($1,000 $525) = $475 profit

uses
Price discovery Most price changes are first reflected in the derivative market.
That way derivative market feeds the spot market
For instance, if the dollars are going down, it means that theprofessional investors are expecting dolor price to go down in
the future this is a good sign for you to buy in the spot market
Risk transfer A derivative market is like an insurance company
Derivative instruments redistribute the risk amongst marketplayers
However, if you want protection against adverse pricemovements, you must pay a price, ie the premium
