Derivative - types with example
This document provides an overview of different types of derivatives, including examples. It discusses forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Forwards are customized bilateral contracts where the parties agree to buy or sell an asset at a future date for a predetermined price. Futures are standardized exchange-traded contracts that are cash settled. Options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell an asset by a specified date at a predetermined price. Swaps involve exchanging cash flows of one party's financial instrument for those of the other party. The document defines key terms and concepts for each type of derivative and provides examples to illustrate how they work.

- 25. Terminology • Contract size– The amount of the asset that has to be delivered under one contract. All futures are sold in multiples of lots which is decided by the exchange board. – Eg. If the lot size of Tata steel is 500 shares, then one futures contract is necessarily 500 shares. • Contract cycle – The period for which a contract trades. – The futures on the NSE have one (near) month, two (next) months, three (far) months expiry cycles.
- 26. Terminology • Expiry date– usually last Thursday of every month or previous day if Thursday is public holiday. • Strike price – The agreed price of the deal is called the strike price. • Cost of carry – Difference between strike price and current price.
- 27. Margins • A marginis an amount of a money that must be deposited with the clearing house by both buyers and sellers in a margin account in order to open a futures contract • Typically only 2 to 10 percent • It ensures performance of the terms of the contract • Its aim is to minimise the risk of default by either counterparty
- 28. Margins • Initial Margin- Deposit that a trader must make before trading any futures. Usually, 10% of the contract size • Maintenance Margin - When margin reaches a minimum maintenance level, the trader is required to bring the margin back to its initial level. The maintenance margin is generally about 75% of the initial margin • Variation Margin - Additional margin required to bring an account up to the required level • Margin call – If amt in the margin A/C falls below the maintenance level, a margin call is made to fill the gap

- 40. Types of Swaps Plainvanilla fixed for floating swaps (Interest rate swaps) Fixed for fixed currency swaps (Currency swaps)
- 41. What is anInterest Rate Swap? • It is a contractual agreement between two parties to exchange interest payments • A company agrees to pay a pre-determined fixed interest rate on a notional principal for a fixed number of years • In return, it receives interest at a floating rate on the same notional principal for the same period of time • The principal is not exchanged. Hence, it is called a notional amount
- 42. Floating Interest Rate •LIBOR – London Interbank Offered Rate • It is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London • It is the primary benchmark for short term interest rates around the world • Similarly, we have MIBOR i.e. Mumbai Interbank Offered Rate • It is calculated by the NSE as a weighted average of lending rates of a group of banks

- 45. Using a Swapto Transform a Liability • Firm A has transformed a fixed rate liability into a floater o A is borrowing at LIBOR – 1% o A savings of 1% • Firm B has transformed a floating rate liability into a fixed rate liability o B is borrowing at 9.5% o B saving of 0.5%. • Swaps Bank Profits = 8.5%-8% = 0.5%
- 46. What is aCurrency Swap? • It is a swap that includes exchange of principal and interest rates in one currency for the same in another currency • The principal may be exchanged either at the beginning or at the end of the tenure • If it is exchanged at the end of the life of the swap, the principal value may be very different • It is generally used to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations € to $
- 47. Direct Currency SwapExample • Firm A is an American company and wants to borrow €40,000 for 3 years. • Firm B is a French company and wants to borrow $60,000 for 3 years. • Suppose the current exchange rate is €1 = $1.50.
- 48. Firm A FirmB Bank A Bank B € 6% $ 7% Aim €40,000 Aim $60,000 $60,000 €40,000 7% 5% 7% 5% € 5% $ 8%
- 49. Comparative Advantage • FirmA has a comparative advantage in borrowing Dollars • Firm B has a comparative advantage in borrowing Euros • This comparative advantage helps in reducing borrowing cost and hedging against exchange rate fluctuations
