7 MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS

8 Money Market is a market where money or its equivalent can be traded. is a wholesale market of short term debt instrument and is synonym of liquidity.. is part of financial market where instruments with high liquidity and very short term maturities ie one or less than one year are traded. Due to highly liquid nature of securities and their short term maturities, money market is treated as a safe place is a place where short term obligations are met by different market participants. Potential gains/losses: A known future payment/except when the borrower defaults (i.e., does not pay). Price quotations: Usually, the instruments are sold on a discount basis, and only the interest rates are quoted. Therefore, investors must be able to do calculate prices from the quoted rates.

9 Money Market Instruments Vs Fixed Income Instruments Money market instruments are short-term debt obligations of large corporations and governments. These securities promise to make one future payment. When they are issued, their lives are less than one year. Fixed-income securities are longer-term debt obligations of corporations or governments. These securities promise to make fixed payments according to a pre-set schedule. When they are issued, their lives exceed one year.

21 CAPITAL MARKET - FIXED INCOME MARKET (LONG TERM DEBT)

22 Market Segments and Products in Indian Debt market

23 Indian Debt Market - Pillars of the Indian Economy The Indian debt market is today one of the largest in Asia and includes securities issued by the Government (Central & State Governments), public sector undertakings, other government bodies, financial institutions, banks and corporates. The Government Securities (G-Secs) market is the oldest and the largest component of the Indian debt market in terms of market capitalization, outstanding securities and trading volumes. The G-Secs market plays a vital role in the Indian economy as it provides the benchmark for determining the level of interest rates in the country through the yields on the government securities which are referred to as the risk-free rate of return in any economy.

24 Bonds A bond is a tradable instrument that represents a debt owed to the owner by the issuer. Most commonly, bonds pay interest periodically (usually semiannually) and then return the principal at maturity. Advantages of Bonds over Stocks Bonds, while a more conservative investment than stocks, can offer certain investors some very attractive features: Safety Reliable income Potential for capital gains Diversification (especially for an otherwise all-equity portfolio) Tax advantages

25 Factors affecting yields RB I Bank Rate RB I Bank Rate

28 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

29 BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION

30 WHY SHOULD WE STUDY FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT? To better understand the nature and volatility of financial markets To understand the development of new financial products -- e.g., derivatives and hybrid securities To understand how these products can be used to change a firm s risk profile and protect its financial condition

31 UNPREDICTABILITY Interest rates Inflation, cash flows (investing / lending), asset and liability values Commodity prices Costs, substitute products Price shocks Oil touching $140 in 2008 FX rates International cash flows, relative competitiveness `

32 FINANCIAL RISKS -- EXAMPLES Interest rates Savings & Loans (Subprime crisis) Inversion of yield curve eg: current situation in India (short term interest rates higher than long-term rates) Commodity prices eg: Prices shot up after QE1 in US & Europe Foreign exchange Strengthening of US$ relative to pound in 1981

33 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT: A BROAD FRAMEWORK FRM can take several (familiar and unfamiliar) forms Asset hedges Liability hedges Asset-liability management Contingent financing Post-loss financing and recapitalization

34 Risks Associated with Bonds Interest Rate Risk Call and Repayment Risk Yield Curve Risk Re-investment Risk Credit Risk (Default, Credit Spread, Downgrade) Liquidity Risk Exchange-rate risk Volatility Risk Inflation/purchasing power risk Event Risk Sovereign risk

35 WHY DO CORPORATIONS USE FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES? Transaction hedges FX; debt Currency and interest rate risk Strategic (economic) hedges Protect cash flows or company value from movements in financial prices Reduce funding costs FX; synthetic debt Trading derivatives for profit

36 WHY DON T CORPORATIONS USE MORE DERIVATIVES? Credit risk No suitable instrument Lack of knowledge Accounting / legal issues Transaction costs Resistance by Board / upper management

37 VOCABULARY Financial derivative: a financial instrument whose value is a function of another ( underlying ) financial instrument Financial engineering: the creation and use of financial derivatives to aid in the management of risk Risk profile: describes the effect of changes in a financial price on the value of a firm

38 FORWARDS AND FUTURES

39 FORWARD CONTRACTS Obligation / agreement to buy/sell in the future Contract price is the exercise price ; no payment until maturity Physical delivery or cash-settled Buyer (holder) is long ; seller (writer) is short OTC -- can be tailored Two-sided risk

40 FUTURES CONTRACTS Obligation; agree to a future transaction Traded on organized exchanges Standardized Daily settlement (marking to market) Reduces default risk: essentially, a series of one- day contracts Margins (performance bonds) Initial margin Maintenance margin Margin call Exchange clearinghouse

41 EXCHANGES VS. OTC Exchanges Advantages Clearinghouse Liquidity Standardization Disadvantages Lack of flexibility Regulation Trading costs Public OTC Markets Disadvantages Credit risk Low liquidity Non-standardization Advantages Flexible Less regulation Lower regulatory costs Private

42 TYPES OF CONTRACTS Agricultural commodities Wheat, corn, soybeans Farmer (supplier) can lock in sales price before harvest (short futures) Consumer (user) can lock in purchase price (long futures) Other commodities Metals, petroleum Financial assets FX, stock market indices, interest rates

43 EXAMPLE X agrees to buy from Y one barrel of oil, five months from now, for Rs20/- X is in the long position Y is in the short position If the price of oil is Rs25/- five months from now, who pays to whom, and how much? If the price of oil is Rs12/- five months from now, who pays to whom, and how much?

44 OPTIONS

45 OPTIONS Option to buy or sell the underlying asset Right, not obligation Call option: right to buy the U/L asset Put option: right to sell the U/L asset Buyer = holder = long position (option to exercise) Seller = writer = short position

46 PARAMETERS OF OPTIONS Exercise price = strike price = price at which the holder of the option can exercise the option (and thus buy or sell the underlying asset) Expiration date Premium = amount paid for the option American option: can exercise any time up to and including expiration date European option: can exercise only on expiration date

47 EXAMPLES OF OPTIONS -- THEY RE EVERYWHERE Traded options On stocks, indices, FX, interest rates, futures, swaps, options,... Convertible bonds Call provisions on bonds On projects To expand, abandon, postpone Insurance

48 EXAMPLE Patel sells Raju a January European call option on one share of Reliance stock Suppose Reliance stock is trading at 32.5 Exercise price = 35 Premium = 3 In January, suppose: S T =30 S T =40 Total payoff [profit/loss] Patel (seller) 0 [3] -5 [-2] Raju: (buyer) 0 [-3] 5 [2]

49 OPTION VALUES (cont.) Prior to expiration: Call Put In-the-money S t > X S t < X At-the-money S t = X S t = X Out-of-the-money S t < X S t > X Intrinsic value - profit that could be made if the option was immediately exercised Call: stock price - exercise price Put: exercise price - stock price Time value - the difference between the option price and the intrinsic value

50 OPTION VALUES: PAYOFF CHART Call -- long position Call -- short position Payoff X S T Put -- long position Put -- short position

51 PUT-CALL PARITY Arbitrage implies a certain relationship between put, call, and underlying asset prices Two portfolios have, at payoff, identical values: One European call option + cash of PV(X) One European put option + one share of stock C + PV(X) = P + S

52 BLACK-SCHOLES FORMULA V C = S N(d 1 ) - X e -rt N(d 2 ) d 1 = [ln(s/x)+(r+0.5σ 2 )t] /σt 0.5 d 2 = d 1 -σt 0.5

53 PURPOSES OF DERIVATIVES Speculative Highly risky Highly leveraged Very volatile Hedging Combine with other securities Hedge (minimize) risk from other securities

54 HEDGING Hedge : Take a position that offsets a risk Risk: Uncertainty regarding the value of the underlying asset By hedging, one changes the risk inherent in owning the underlying asset The return distribution of the underlying asset is not changed

55 USING OPTIONS TO HEDGE Combine the underlying asset with an option or options Can reduce or eliminate downside risk while retaining upside potential Can protect against falls in held asset values, or against increases in input prices

56 OPTION STRATEGIES Protective put Own stock (long position) Own put (long position) Covered call Own stock (long position) Sell call (short position) Straddle Spread

57 PROTECTIVE PUT Investor owns asset Investor also buys (holds) a put on the asset Guarantees investment portfolio proceeds at least equal to the exercise price of the put + =

58 PROTECTIVE PUT EXAMPLE Suppose you own a share of stock, and you purchase a put option with an exercise price of 22.5 on that stock, for a premium of $ 0.75 S T : Premium: Put Payoff: === === === === Overall:

59 COVERED CALL Investor purchases stock Investor also sells (writes) a call option on the stock Option position is covered by owning the underlying stock itself (vs. naked option ) Provides additional (premium) income + =

60 COVERED CALL EXAMPLE Suppose you own a share of stock, and you write a call option with an exercise price of 35 on that stock, for a premium of $ 2.00 S T : Premium: Call Payoff: === === === === Overall:

61 STRADDLE (Long) Straddle: buy both a call and a put on a stock Each option has the same exercise price and expiration date Believe stock will be relatively volatile Worst-case: no movement in stock price

62 SPREAD Combination of options Two or more calls, or Two or more puts Vertical spread: simultaneous sale and purchase of options with different exercise prices Horizontal spread: sale and purchase of options with different expiration dates

63 INTEREST RATE OPTIONS Cap: a call option on an interest rate Floor: a put option on an interest rate Collar: simultaneously buying a cap and selling a floor These options can be used to hedge ratesensitive debt and assets

64 INTEREST RATE OPTIONS: TERMINOLOGY Underlying index: interest rate being hedged or speculated upon; e.g., LIBOR, prime rate Strike rate: determines cash flows (similar to exercise price) Settlement frequency: how often the strike rate and underlying index are compared Notional amount: principal to which the interest rate is applied Up-front premium: paid by purchaser to seller for the option

65 INTEREST RATE CAPS At each settlement date, check whether index rate is greater than strike rate If not, cap purchaser does not receive cash flows If so, purchaser receives from seller: [ (index rate - strike rate) x (days in settlement period / 360) x notional amount ]

66 INTEREST RATE CAPS: EXAMPLE $20,000,000 two-year quarterly interest rate cap on 3-month LIBOR with a strike rate of 8% Cost: 150 basis points Up-front premium = x $20M = $300,000 If 3-month LIBOR = 9%, seller pays ( ) x 90/360 x $20M = $50,000 (for that quarter)

67 INTEREST RATE FLOORS At each settlement date, check whether index rate is greater than strike rate If so, floor purchaser does not receive cash flows If not, purchaser receives from seller: [ (strike rate - index rate) x (days in settlement period / 360) x notional amount ]

68 INTEREST RATE COLLARS Purchase a cap to hedge floating-rate liabilities Sell a floor at a lower strike rate Sale of floor helps finance purchase of cap Net result: Interest expense will be limited on both ends -- will float between the cap and floor strike rates Can achieve zero-premium collar

69 SWAPS

70 SWAPS Agreement between two parties Counterparties Exchange sets of future cash flows Two major types Interest rate swaps Currency swaps Relatively new FRM tool

71 SWAPS VS. FUTURES Futures Standardized Exchange-traded Short horizons Swaps Custom tailored between counterparties Little regulation; potential for privacy Term flexibility

72 INTEREST RATE SWAPS One party pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating rate The other party pays a floating rate and receives a fixed rate Floating rates involve greater exposure to interest rate risk Notional principal is amount on which the interest payments are determined

73 INTEREST RATE SWAPS (cont.) Principal is not actually exchanged -- only interest payments Generally, only net interest payments are transacted Avoids unnecessary transactions Helps credit risk At each settlement date, a net payment is made, based on the difference between the two interest rates (applied to the notional principal)

74 CURRENCY SWAPS One party holds one currency, and desires a different currency Three sets of cash flows: Exchange principal at inception of swap Periodic interest payments Exchange principal at termination of swap Interest rates fixed ==> only change in value is from FX change Generally, only make net payments

75 LIMITATIONS OF SWAPS Counterparties must find each other Meet specific needs Cost, time; facilitators Lack of liquidity ; difficult to unwrap / trade / change without consent of other party Credit risk of counterparty

76 DEVELOPMENT OF SWAP MARKET Originally: Unique contracts Had to search for counterparty Investment banks were dominant intermediaries More recently: More standardized and liquid Intermediaries accept contract, then lay off risk More highly capitalized firms -- e.g., commercial banks

77 Other Exotic Structured Products Exotic structures like the following also have gained importance in the recent times Swaptions (Options on Swaps) Credit Default Swaps (CDS) Options on ETFs (50% of equity volumes in US) Range Accruals/Structured notes/elds
