HEDGING, ARBITRAGE AND
COVER OPERATIONS
Presented by : Nirmal.P.R
HEDGING
Making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price
movements in an asset. Normally, a hedge consists of taking
an offsetting position in a related security, such as a futures
contract.
An example of a hedge would be if you owned a stock, then
sold a futures contract stating that you will sell your stock at
a set price, therefore avoiding market fluctuations.
Investors use this strategy when they are unsure of what the
market will do. A perfect hedge reduces your risk to nothing
(except for the cost of the hedge).
Hedging - Concept
• Used everywhere all time - Story
• Negative event can not be prevented
• Risk Offsetting tool
• Similar to insurance
• Two securities with Negative correlation
• Not to make money but to reduce losses
Hedging Instruments
Derivatives
1. Forward Contracts
It is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at
a certain future time for certain price.
Example:
Shyam wants to buy a TV - Rs 10,000 -
no cash - Can buy it 3 months later - fears that prices will
rise - contract with the dealer - contract is settled at maturity.
2. Future Contract
A future contract is an agreement
between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain
time in the future at a certain price. Index futures are
all futures contracts where the underlying is the stock
index and helps trader to take a view on the market as a
whole.
Hedging Options
• Call option: A contract that gives the owner the
right, but not the obligation, to buy an item in the
future, at a price decided now.
• Put option: A contract that gives the owner the right,
but not the obligation, to sell an item in the future, at
a price decided now.
ARBITRAGE
Arbitrage is basically buying in one market and
simultaneously selling in another, profiting from a
temporary difference. This is considered riskless profit
for the investor/trader.
An example of an arbitrage
opportunity. Let's say you are able to buy a toy doll for
$15 in Florida, but in Washington, the doll is selling
for $25. If you are able to buy the doll in Florida and
sell it in the Seattle market, you can profit from the
difference without any risk because the higher price of
the doll in Seattle is guaranteed.
Types of Arbitrage
• Spatial arbitrage
• Merger arbitrage
• Municipal bond arbitrage
• Convertible bond arbitrage
• Depository receipts
• Dual-listed companies
• Private to public equities
• Regulatory arbitrage
• Telecom arbitrage
• Statistical arbitrage
