20 Review of Agricultural Futures & Hedging
21 PROTECTION Tim Andriesen, Managing Director Agricultural Products
22 What is a Futures Contract? Legally binding agreement to accept How many contracts result in physical delivery? delivery of or make delivery of a Is delivery on a futures contract a viable choice? standardized quantity and quality Do futures contracts replace cash contracts? of a commodity to a standardized place in a standardized time period for a price discovered in an organized futures exchange. Why is the delivery requirement necessary? Is there only one contract size available? Does this match up with physical production? Can any seller of futures deliver on the contract?
23 CBOT Wheat Futures (Soft Red Winter) Contract Specifications Size: 5,000 bushels (136 metric tons) Also mini-sized 1,000 bu (27 mt) Pricing unit: cents/bushel Tick size: 1/4 cent/bushel ($12.50 per contract) Ticker symbol: Open auction (W) and Globex Electronic (ZW) Daily price limit: $0.60/bushel Expandable to $0.90 and $1.35 Contract months: Jul(N), Sep(U), Dec(Z), Mar(H), May(K), Quality: #2 Soft Red Winter Trading hours: (Chicago time) Electronic: Open-auction: 7:00 p.m. 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. 1:15pm Sunday evening thru Friday afternoon 8:30 a.m. 1:15 p.m. Monday thru Friday Note: Mini-sized Wheat closes at 1:45 p.m. 23
24 Terminology Spot Basis Long Short Offset Delivery Margin Market price How many spot markets exist in the world? How many basis numbers should you follow? Are there more long or short positions? Does market liquidity impact an offset? Which party can initiate delivery on a futures contract? Is margin money a cost of trading? If you request ask for information on July 2014 Wheat, how many numbers should the broker provide.

69 Buy Side Risk Management Strategies
70 Buying Strategies Long Futures Long Call Combo: Long Call & Short Put Cash Forward Purchase Basis Contract Spot Purchase
71 Long KCBT Wheat Futures Example: Long July 7.50 (expected basis: ) If July Cash Futures Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L = Price _ = L = = = = 9.40 P = Would a change in the July Wheat futures price ever affect this strategy? 2. What would affect the net buying price? 3. If you only hedged 50%, which of the three scenarios would work out best? 4. Based on the answer to #3, what would be the effective buying price? 72
72 Long KCBT Wheat Futures Example: Long July 7.50 (expected basis: ) If July Cash Futures Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L = Price _ = L = = = = P = Would a change in the July Wheat futures price ever affect this strategy? 2. What would affect the net buying price? 3. If you only hedged 50%, which of the three scenarios would work out best? 4. Based on the answer to #3, what would be the effective buying price? 73
73 Buy Side Strategies Long Call Long Call (Buy Call) Establishes a maximum purchase price level Protected against higher prices at time of cash purchase Can benefit from lower prices at time of cash purchase Must pay the premium/cost of the option Weaker basis will improve (lower) purchase price at time of cash purchase Stronger basis will increase purchase price at time of cash purchase Equation: Maximum Purchase Price = Call Strike price + Basis + Premium 74
74 Long $7.50 $0.65 (premium cost) KCBT Wheat $7.50 Unlimited Upside Protection Maximum Purchase Price = $ Call Strike = $7.50 = Futures Full Downside Opportunity 5.50
75 Long KCBT Wheat Call Example: Long July 7.50 $0.65 (expected basis: +.40) If July Cash Call Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L = Price _ = L = = +.65L = = P = 1. What would happen to the buying price if the July Wheat futures moved higher than $9.00? 2. What would happen to the buying price if the July Wheat futures moved lower than $6.00? 3. What factors could impact the buying price and how? 4. Are there other strategies to achieve similar benefits as the long call? 5. If this strategy is too expensive, how can you alter it? 76
76 Long KCBT Wheat Call Example: Long July 7.50 $0.65 (expected basis: +.40) If July Cash Call Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L = Price _ = L = = L = = P = What would happen to the buying price if the July Wheat futures moved higher than $9.00? 2.

Are there other strategies to achieve similar benefits as the long call? 5. If this strategy is too expensive, how can you alter it? 77
77 Buy Side Strategies Long Call & Short Put Long Call & Short Put (Buy a Call and Sell a Put) Establishes a purchase price range Usually select an out-of-the-money Put option Protection against higher prices but at a lower cost Limits your opportunity for lower prices Weaker basis will improve (lower) purchase price at time of cash purchase Stronger basis will increase purchase price at time of cash purchase Equation Maximum purchase price = Call strike price + call premium put premium + basis Minimum purchase price = Put strike price + call premium put premium + basis 78
78 Buying Range Long $7.50 Call (cost $0.65) and Short $6.50 Put (credit $0.15) Net Cost $0.50 KCBT Wheat $7.50 Unlimited Upside Protection 9.50 Maximum Price = $ Call Strike = $7.50 = Futures Price 7.50 Minimum Price = $ Limited Downside Opportunity 5.50
79 Long KCBT Wheat Call & Short Wheat Put Example: Long 7.50 July $0.65 (expected basis: +.40) Short 6.50 July $0.15 If July Cash Call Put Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L -P/+L = Price = +.65L +.35L = = L.15P = = P P = What determines the buying price range and how can you alter the range? 2. What factors in this example could affect the buying price? 3. What is the best way to calculate an expected basis level? 4. Is the objective of all risk management strategies to make money in the futures industry? 80
80 Long KCBT Wheat Call & Short Wheat Put Example: Long 7.50 July $0.65 (expected basis: +.40) Short 6.50 July $0.15 If July Cash Call Put Buying Wheat + Basis = Price -P/+L -P/+L = Price = L +.35L = = L.15P = = P.15P = What determines the buying price range and how can you alter the range? 2. What factors in this example could affect the buying price? 3. What is the best way to calculate an expected basis level? 4. Is the objective of all risk management strategies to make money in the futures industry? 81
81 Buy Side Strategies Cash Forward Contract Cash Forward Contract (long term purchase agreement) Establishes a flat price in advance of actual cash purchase Price level and basis level are locked-in Price level is derived from futures price Can t benefit from weaker basis at time of actual cash purchase Equation Locked-in Futures price + Locked-in Cash Forward Basis Example and Note: $7.50/bushel and forward contract basis over July futures Cash Forward 8.25/bushel Note: A change in the futures level and/or the basis level at delivery time will not affect the purchase price 82
82 Buy Side Strategies Basis Contract Basis Contract Establishes (locks-in) a basis level in advance of actual cash purchase Only the basis level is locked-in Price level is derived from a futures price at a time the buyer chooses but must occur before the specific futures contract expires Can t benefit from weaker basis at time of actual cash purchase Subject to risk of higher price levels Equation Specified futures contract price at time of pricing + locked-in basis Example and note: Basis Contract: $0.70 over July futures Note: Any change in the basis prior to contract expiration will not impact the purchase price but a change in the futures price will impact this strategy 83
83 Buy Side Strategies Spot (Cash) Purchase Cash (local supplier quote) Flat spot price quote at time of current physical delivery Derived from futures price and includes current local basis Subject to price and basis level risk at time of actual cash purchase Equation: Futures Price + Basis at delivery time = Spot Price 84
84 Buy Side Strategies Comparative Analysis (assume actual basis: +.40) If July Long Long (L) Call Cash +.70 Basis Spot Wheat Futures Call (S) Put Forward Contract Purchase What strategy provides the best result when the market moves Lower? Higher? Remains the Same? 2. What adjustments to the results must a customer consider to compare strategies as apples to apples? 3. What are some of the key benefits of the futures/option strategies compared to the cash strategies? 4. What do most of all these strategies in the futures, options and cash market have in common? 5. Is there another market that could help customers manage price risk? If so, what is it? 85
85 Structured Customer Contracts: Maximum Purchase Price
86 Buyer Maximum Price Contract Long Term Purchase Contract + Put Option Incorporates features of a Forward Purchase Contract & a Long Put Option Buyer & Supplier sign a Maximum Price Contract Establishes a buy price level & basis level (same as a Forward Purchase Agreement) Delivery of specific grain/oilseed is mandatory (same as a Forward Contract) Supplier purchases a Put Option (buyer chooses) Supplier charges a service fee (brokerage plus additional service fee) Buyer chooses when to sell the put option (prior to option expiration) Buyer Maximum Buying Price Equation: Long Term Purchase Price + Put Premium Paid + Supplier Service Fee 87
87 Buyer Maximum Price Contract - Example Forward Contract + Put Option (July $7.00) Supplier & Buyer Agree to a Maximum Price Contract Forward Contract Price 7.30 (July basis) Put Premium Paid (premium paid) + Supplier Service Fee (1 cent R/T brokerage & 1 cent service) Buyer Maximum Buying Price $7.87 If July Futures fall to $5.00 If July Futures rallies to $9.00 Wheat delivered for $7.87 Wheat delivered for $7.87 Sell 6.80 Put for Put expired worthless $6.07* Buyer Net Price $7.87* *Excludes potential for remaining time value 88
88 Buyer Maximum Price Contract Basis Contract + Call Option Incorporates features of a Basis Contract & a Long Call Option Buyer & Supplier sign a Maximum Price Contract Establishes basis level (same as a Basis contract) Delivery of specific grain/oilseed is mandatory (same as a Basis Contract) Supplier purchases a Call Option buyer chooses Supplier charges a service fee (brokerage plus additional service fee) Buyer chooses when to sell the Call option (prior to option expiration) Buyer Maximum Buying Price Equation: Call Strike Price + Basis + Call Premium Paid + Supplier Service Fee 89
89 Example: Buyer Maximum Price Contract Firm Basis Contract + Call Option (Note July $7.00) Supplier & Buyer Agree to a Maximum Price Contract 720 July Wheat Call $7.20 (call strike price) July Basis Contract July Call Premium Paid (premium paid) + Supplier Service Fee (1 cent R/T brokerage & 1 cent service) Buyer Maximum Buying Price $8.06 If July Futures fall to $5.00 If July Futures rallies to $9.00 Wheat delivered for $5.30 Wheat delivered for $9.30 Call expires worthless + 0 Call Cost & Service Call Cost & Service Sell 7.20 Call for $5.86* Buyer Net Price $8.06* *Excludes potential for remaining time value 90

92 Buy Side Strategies Short Put Option Initial Futures Market Position: Short (sell) Put option Initial Cash Market (and Basis) Position: Short Margin Requirements: Yes Advantages: Improves (lowers) net buying price in stable (unchanging) markets Provides limited protection against higher price levels at time of physical (cash) purchase Limited opportunity for lower price levels at time of cash purchase Weaker basis at time of cash purchase will lower the net buying price; i.e. basis opportunity Financial integrity of your option position is ensured by CME Clearing Disadvantages: Only limited upside protection (premium received for selling the Put) A Minimum or Floor Buying price level is established Short Put option position could be exercised on at any time during the life of the option Stronger basis at time of physical purchase will increase your buying price; i.e., basis risk Must maintain a margin account Must consider transaction costs (brokerage commissions and interest costs on margin) Expected Net Minimum (Floor) Buying Price = Put Strike Price - Premium Received + Expected Basis 93
93 Buy Side Strategies Long Call Option Spread Initial Futures Market Position: Long (buy) Call option AND Short (sell) higher strike Call Initial Cash Market (and Basis) Position: Short Margin Requirements: No (provided the short Call position has a higher strike price) Advantages: Provides protection against higher price levels but only up to the higher Call strike price level Cost of the long Call strategy is reduced by the premium received from the short Call option position Can benefit from lower price levels at time of cash purchase Weaker basis at time of cash purchase will improve (lower) your net buying price; i.e. basis opportunity Financial integrity of your option positions are ensured by CME Clearing Flexible strategy; allows offsetting of positions at any time Disadvantages: Must pay the difference between the lower Call strike premium paid and the higher Call strike premium received Short Call position could be exercised on at any time during the life of the option Stronger basis at time of physical purchase will increase your net buying price; i.e., basis risk Must consider transaction costs (brokerage commissions on options) 94
94 Buy Side Strategies Long Call Option Spread and Short Put Option Initial Futures Market Position: Long a Call, Short a higher strike Call and Short a Put Initial Cash Market (and Basis) Position: Short Margin Requirements: Yes (on the short Put position) Advantages: Provides protection against higher price levels but only up to the higher Call strike price level Cost of the long Call is reduced by the premium received from the short Call and short Put option positions Can benefit from lower price levels down to the short Put strike price level at the time of cash purchase Weaker basis at time of cash purchase will improve (lower) your net buying price; i.e. basis opportunity Financial integrity of your option positions are ensured by CME Clearing Flexible strategy; allows offsetting of positions at any time Disadvantages: Must pay the difference between the lower Call strike premium paid and the higher Call strike premium received Short Call and/or short Put positions could be exercised on at any time during the life of the option May have margin requirements on short option position(s) Stronger basis at time of physical purchase will increase your net buying price; i.e., basis risk Must consider transaction costs (brokerage commissions on calls and put sand interest on short Put margin) 95

124 Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade.
