An overview of Volatility (VIX futures based) Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs and ETNs). Examines the diversification benefits of volatility funds as well as costs such as roll costs.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs seek a daily return equal to a multiple of an index' return, an objective that requires continuous portfolio rebalancing. The resulting trading costs create a tradeoff between tracking error, which controls the short-term correlation with the index, and excess return (or tracking difference) -- the long-term deviation from the levered index' performance. With proportional trading costs, the optimal replication policy is robust to the index' dynamics. A summary of a fund's performance is the \emph{implied spread}, equal to the product of tracking error and excess return, rescaled for leverage and average volatility. The implies spread is insensitive to the benchmark's risk premium, and offers a tool to compare the performance of funds on the same benchmark, but with different multiples and tracking errors.

Commodities - Futures Curves and Implied Volatility Surfaces - Futures and ETFsBCV
Commodities and Natural Resources
Commodities can be an efficient contributor to portfolio performance over a wide range of risk levels, as the asset class provides potent diversification at the total portfolio level. Although risk premia on commodity futures and equity markets are comparable, commodity futures’ returns display different behavior over the business cycle than traditional asset classes; resulting in negatively correlated returns with equity and fixed income. In addition, commodity futures are positively correlated with inflation, unexpected inflation, and changes in expected inflation. Those attributes make the asset class attractive from a total portfolio standpoint. Additionally, clients investing in hard and soft commodities can potentially profit from the increasing demand for these resources across the developed and developing world, and earn a risk premium for providing liquidity to the markets.
Still, commodity markets are volatile and only managers with acute expertise in the field may offer attractive returns as each market has its own characteristics and dynamics. Commodity investment programs must therefore be carefully designed, as there are opportunities to invest actively or passively, tactically or strategically, with leverage or without leverage. In this context, QMS Advisors can help guide investors allocate to the asset class efficiently and explore the many alternatives.
Similarly, designing a timber investment program is a custom solution driven by an investor's particular needs and investment objectives. Sophisticated investors have long profited from investments in timber as an adjunct to their real estate investments. Timber is unique among natural resources as timberland continually produces a commodity over time and offers embedded real options (mainly the option to postpone the harvesting time), while investments in natural resources like oil and gas are depleted over time. Like real estate, timber can be an income generating investment or a source of long term capital appreciation.
Investments in real estate, natural resources and commodities all present the advantage of having very low to insignificant correlation in returns when compared to traditional equity and fixed income investments. This allows for greater return diversification in addition to the possibility of higher overall returns.

ETFs Review September 14, 2012
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) Review – September 2012
Preferred Picks:
Note: Preferred picks based on traded volumes and tracking error. NAV Value as on Aug 31, 2012. Compilation for the month of August 2012.
The Month gone by:-
Corpus: The corpus of the Exchange Traded Funds (comprising Gold, Equity and Liquid ETFs) rose by 1.8% during
the month of August 2012 to Rs. 12,249 crore from Rs. 12,032 crore at the end of July 2012 mainly due to
appreciation in the prices of gold. The overall Mutual Fund Industry AUM as on August 2012 stood at Rs. 7.53 lakh
crore Vs. Rs. 7.30 lakh crore in the previous month.
Net flow: The overall ETF category witnessed nil flow over the month as the Gold ETFs category saw net inflows
of Rs. 88 crore which was offset by the net outflows of Rs. 88 crore observed in the other ETFs category.
Traded Volume: The total traded volume for ETFs category stood at Rs. 753 crore during the month of August
2012 (vs Rs.666 crore in July 2012). Gold ETFs witnessed volumes of of Rs. 346 crore while Other ETFs witnessed

ETFs Review contd…
Domestic Equity Market: Indian markets ended the month of August on a positive note on hopes of quick
implementation of reforms by the Indian Government coupled with the speculation that US would go for QE3. BSE
Sensex & Nifty gained 1.5% & 0.6% respectively during the month.
Global Equity Market: The world markets mostly ended the month of August 2012 on a positive note with Nasdaq,
Japan and Brazil being the top three gainers, which rose by 4.3%, 1.7% and 1.7% respectively. Indonesia, Hong
Kong, China and Singapore were the only losers, which fell by 2%, 1.6%, 2.7% and 0.4% respectively.
Gold Market: Gold ETFs posted an average return of 2.05% in absolute term during the month of August 2012. The
spot gold closed at $ 1657.75 per ounce, up $ 35 per ounce or 2.11 percent. The rise in the prices of gold is mainly
attributable to an increased expectation that central banks may be set to launch more bullion-friendly stimulus
measures.
Fixed Income market: Prices of debt instruments firmed up slightly due to improved liquidity conditions coupled
with weak domestic economic numbers. The 10 Year G Sec benchmark closed at 8.24% Vs. 8.25% in the previous
month.
I. Trend in the ETFs AUM:
The corpus of the overall ETFs witnessed an increase by 1.8% during the month of August 2012 to Rs. 12,249 crore
from Rs. 12,032 crore in the month earlier. The increase in the overall ETFs AUM was mainly attributable to the
rise in the prices of gold.
The AUM of Gold ETFs saw rise in AUM by 3% or Rs.303 crore to Rs. 10,398 crore during the month. Gold prices
rose close to 2% during the month tracking gains in overseas markets and strong festive demand in the country.
Gold prices are expected to remain high in the near term as more news is awaited concerning the euro zone
crisis. It is to be noted that the prices of the local gold touched the Rs. 32,000 mark first time on 6th September
2012 driven by increased buying ahead of the marriage season coupled with amid a firming global trend.
On the other hand, despite the surge in the equity markets, the “Other ETFs” category witnessed decrease in the
AUM during August by 5% or Rs. 86 crore to Rs. 1,548 crore mainly due to net outflows from the category.

II. Trend in the Fund Flows in the ETFs:
The overall ETF category witnessed nil flow over the month as the Gold ETFs category saw net inflows of Rs. 88
crore which was offset by the net outflows of Rs. 88 crore in the other ETFs category.
Gold has been an asset class attracting the investors flow over the periods. The depreciation in the rupee value
compared to the USD also resulted in increase in local gold prices to above Rs 32,000 per 10g.
Other ETFs, comprising domestic equity, international equity and liquid ETFs, saw fund outflows for the month
after witnessing net inflows in the last two months.

ETFs Review contd…
The charts below portray the fund flows into Gold ETFs and Other ETFs categories (as per AMFI monthly data) over
the last three year period. Gold ETFs saw net inflows for most of the months reflecting the investors’ increased
interest. How ever, the outflows in the recent months show the opportunistic selling that hit the gold ETFs. In the
case of other ETFs there is no consistency in flows as inflows in one month is followed by outflows in the next and
so on.

The above chart represents the investors’ interest in gold in the last 18 months (as per the AMFI monthly data).
The charts clearly shows the investors’ waning interest in gold especially in the last one year period. Buying
behavior (represented by blue line) witnessed a fall after September 2011 in the wake of sharp run up and
volatility in the prices of gold.
Meanwhile, redemptions that are made in the Gold ETFs also saw an increase in the given periods because of
profit booking at higher level (represented by red line). However, gold prices are expected to remain high in the
near term as more news is awaited on the global front concerning the euro zone crisis coupled with marriage
season in the domestic front.

III. Trend in the Folios in the ETFs:
Gold ETFs witnessed a decline in the number of folios by 6,570 in the month of August 2012 to 4.85 lakhs. The
Gold ETFs category lost 10,817 of folios during the month of July 2012. The equity funds also saw reduction in the
number of folios over the periods as the category witnessed folios closure of about 25 lakh in the last one year
period. That was mainly due to the scheme mergers and folio de-duplication exercise carried out by R&Ts in the
recent periods apart from redemptions. Contrary to this, number of folios of ‘Other ETFs’ have been increasing
over periods due to attraction towards the diversified, broader market indices in the wake of risk aversion.

ETFs Review contd…
a. Gold ETFs:
Gold ETFs posted an average return of 2.05% in absolute term during the month of August 2012. The spot gold
closed at $ 1657.75 per ounce, up $ 35 per ounce or 2.11%. The rise in the prices of gold is mainly attributable to
an increased expectation that central banks may be set to launch more bullion-friendly stimulus measures. Gold
prices are expected to remain high in the near term given the expectation of additional stimulus measures to
counter the euro zone crisis coupled with the festive season in India.
The weakness in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar aided gold to maintain its sheen in local market. The
chart below shows the relationship between spot gold price in USD and INR. In the chart, the international and
domestic prices of gold were in tandem till about March 2012, post which there is a divergence due to a sharp
depreciation in Rupee value vis-à-vis the USD.

b. Broader Equity Indices ETFs:
Indian equity benchmark indices ended the month of August 2012 in the positive with Sensex gaining 1.5% and the
Nifty ended higher by 0.6% on hopes of quick implementation of reforms by the Indian Government. The rally was
also supported by speculation that US would go for QE3 (Quantitative Easing) and on hopes of positive outcome
from the ECB meeting.
Snapping a losing streak of three straight weeks, Indian equities benchmark indices gained more than two percent
in the first week of the month on the back of positive cues from global markets. The market extended its weekly
gains in 2nd, 3rd and 4th week of the month as well but reversed the trend by ending the fifth week in red.

c. Sector Equity Indices ETFs:
The sector Equity Indices ETFs, including Banking and PSU Banking ETFs, registered returns of -3.78% and -8.06%
respectively during the month of August 2012. The respective benchmarks CNX Bank and CNX PSU Banks registered
-3.8% and -8.07% respectively.
The PSU index ended in the red at the end of August 2012. Bank of India, Canara Bank, BEML and HPCL lost 13.6%,
13.3%, 13% and 12.9% respectively. PSU stocks faced the brunt of profit booking. In Q1FY13 on asset quality front,
PSU banks performance was quite dismal with sharp jump in gross slippage ratio. Canara Bank reported a lower
than expected 6.8% year-on-year growth in net profit at Rs.780 cr, and 2.8% rise in net interest income (NII) for
the quarter ended June 2012. Net interest margin (NIM) declined 10 basis points (bps) at 2.4% on quarter-on-
quarter basis primarily driven by sequential drop in the yields and rise in cost of funds. The falling share of high
yielding small and medium enterprise (SME) and retail loans, over 100bps decline in current account, savings
account (CASA) and higher bulk deposit at around 40% led to further contraction in NIMs.
