Market timing in practice (with lessons from hindsight)
Portfolio Overview
• Monthly MSX is at 80 after strong rallies since the low in May 2012. The MSX has deep in the green zone (> 60%). Implication: Normal sentiment of a strong bull market.
• The PE is currently at 15.27 and inflation at 5.7%. Valuation (Rule 18) stands at 18.12 (Neutral).
• Output of market timing gearing model: Sentiment (+100%) + Valuation (+6%) = 106% of standard gearing.
• Interpretation: A benign investment climate calling for slightly above average risk taking.

From initial investment to redemption
Flow of funds
Account opening • Strict client take on procedures are adhered to.• Once all the required account opening documents (i.e. Mandate, risk disclosure,
contact information sheet, risk questionnaire, Intermediary disclosure sheet and FICA requirements) are received, an account is opened for each client in GT247.COM each with a unique 5 digit account number.
• Depending on the underlying execution of the EAM strategy (either equities or CFD’s) the clients will deposit their funds either with one of GT247.COM’s 5 underlying trust accounts held at the major banks or with Prime Broker trust accounts.
• Both GT247.COM and Prime Broker check these trust accounts daily and allocate client funds to their respective trading account numbers.
Funds transfer – Initial deposit• CFD strategy: If the client requires the leveraged CFD fund strategy the funds are
deposited into one of GT247.COM’s 5 trust accounts held at the major banks. GT247.COM staff review these bank accounts on a daily basis and allocate the clients deposits to their accounts. The clients portfolio is traded on deposit date plus 1 business day starting by leveraging the portfolio from 0.5 times leverage to the clients preferred risk profile. Portfolios only reach the preferred or maximum leveraged level by phasing trades in on a monthly basis for a period of 4-6 months.
• Equity strategy: If the client requests the EAM equity fund strategy the funds are deposited into Prime Brokers underlying trust account, whose staff will review the trust accounts daily and allocate their funds to their respective client accounts prior to execution at EAM discretion.
Funds transfer - Withdrawal• Clients can request a withdrawal of funds, at any time, by sending an email
together with their account details to [email protected]. All positions will be closed out at closure request date T+0.
• EAM = 95% T + 1, the remainder at month end after apportionment for performance and management fees.
• Prime Broker = T + 5

− Definition: An option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a specified time. This is the opposite of a call option, which gives the holder the right to buy shares.
− Description: A put becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying stock depreciates relative to the strike price. For example, if you have one Mar 08 Taser 10 put, you have the right to sell 100 shares of Taser at $10 until March 2008 (usually the third Friday of the month). If shares of Taser fall to $5 and you exercise the option, you can purchase 100 shares of Taser for $5 in the market and sell the shares to the option's writer for $10 each, which means you make $500 (100 x ($10-$5)) on the put option. Note that the maximum amount of potential profit in this example ignores the premium paid to obtain the put option.
• Armed with this information lets bring it back to our world…
Lets Start with a technical review and look at how Investopedia.com defines and describes a put option:

− You pay a monthly premium and in return the insurer has an obligation to pay for the repair of your car in the event of an accident or loss. The more expensive the car, the more reckless the driver the higher the premium, Understood!
− In order to reduce your premium you can elect to accept a higher excess value (first loss), which in the result means in the event of an accident you pay the first loss and the insurer picks up the rest. Nice and simple!
• But what has this got to do with put options…. Well everything really. A put option is essentially a protective instrument, insurance if you like, against an event that will result in the depreciated value of a financial asset.
• Ok so we understand that it works in a similar manner to car insurance…
Lets compare a put option with something similar that we all understand… Short term car insurance:

1. Well quite simply we want to protect your portfolio
2. From a change in market conditions
3. That results in a strong downward move
4. Which greatly depreciates the value of the shares that you hold!
5. But we do not want to cap your portfolio's potential to continue to produce positive, above market returns
6. We just want to ensure your portfolio has some protection in case markets fall dramatically
Lets look at what we are trying to protect:

1. The FTSE / ALSI Top 40 Index is the fund benchmark, it is also the most traded futures index in South Africa, as a result it is the best security to provide protection for your portfolio. i.e. a put option on the ALSI Top 40 Future
2. Buying full protection, or being fully hedged where R1 of portfolio loss is offset by R1 of put option cover, for 12 months can cost the investor up
to 10% or 12% of their portfolio value. That’s too expensive and therefore not effective.
3. However, by accepting the first 10% loss (excess), the premium can be reduced to between 3% and 5%.
How do we get the best protection at the right price?

You will note that there are 2 new securities in your portfolio, reflecting the implementation of the put option:
1. The first security is the Alsi P1 18 June 2014 (expiry) 33800 (strike) instrument and as at 31 July 2013 is priced at 1352c
− This is the put option itself and as the name suggests it is based on the ALSI Top 40 index
− This contract: Will increase in value as the ALSI Top 40 moves downwards and below the
33800 strike. Will decrease in value as the ALSI moves upwards, further and further above
the 33800 strike.
Will be valued daily in your mark to market statement

2. The second security is the Alsi X 18 June 2014 33800 instrument and as at 31 July 2013 is priced at 9316c
− This instrument has no economic value, therefore it will not result in any financial outcomes i.e. no commission, profit or loss, financing income nor fees etc.
− The purpose of the instrument is to correctly record the negative nominal value of the protection afforded by the put option contract, so that we can correctly record your effective level of gearing.
− The nominal value of this contract: Will increase as the ALSI Top40 moves downwards and below 33800 strike. Will decrease in value as the ALSI moves upwards, further and further above
the 33800 strike.
Will be valued daily in your mark to market statement

• The ALSI put option trade was done on SAFEX on the 19th July 2013 and was booked to client accounts on 31st July 2013. The reason for the delay between the trade and booking was purely to ensure that the portfolio accounting systems correctly recorded the instrument daily economics.
• Emperor Asset Management will adjust the amount of protection according to market conditions. During high confidence periods we will reduce the amount of protection and gradually increase it as the confidence levels deteriorate so as to reach 100% protection at confidence levels of 60% and lower
• Any further increase or reduction in protection will be traded and reported on the same day as traded.
• The current value of the put option in your portfolio is about 1% of your total portfolio exposure which provides roughly 20% cover against your total exposure.
