    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The financial derivatives are the emerging trend in capital market. These are

    used to minimize the losses of investors portfolio. This project studies the

    effectiveness of Hedging Using Index Futures. It deals with the construction of a

    portfolio on the basis of risk-return evaluation and loss minimization using

    hedging. The companies are selected from the top list of NSE based on price

    earning ratio and beta value. The securities selected are Airtel, Cipla, Infosys,

    Reliance industries, SBI and ONGC. Trading was done on these six securities in

    both bullish and bearish market condition, and then the same securities were

    hedged with index futures.

    The data collected were tabulated and the values of portfolios on different days, the

    profit or loss made by the portfolio and the amount to be hedged were calculated

    manually. Finally, the net profit or loss arising out of both hedged as well as

    unhedged positions for these two periods were calculated and comparison were

    made. Through this study it is found out that in the month of May hedging was not

    effective because of Bullish trend in the market and in the month of June it was

    effective and it eliminated loss and made a small amount of profit too.

    This study revealed that hedging with index futures proved to be an effective

    instrument for minimizing the loss. Through the index futures, investor can reduce

    the risk of the index movement. Thus hedging reduces the loss of portfolio and

    sometimes it creates a profit or loss according to this study.

    In current scenario, investing in stock markets is a major challenge even for

    seasoned professionals, investment become complicated and is both an art and a

    science. Investing in various types of assets is an interesting activity that attracts

    people from all walks of life irrespective of their occupation, economic status,

    education and family background. When a person has more money than he requires

    for current consumption, he would be coined as a potential investor. The investor

    who is having extra cash could invest in securities or any other asset like real estate

    or gold or could simply deposit on a bank account. In the finance field, its a

    common knowledge that money or finance is scares and those investors try to

    maximize their return. Return changes with the degree of risk chosen by the

    investor. Return and risk go together and they have a trade off. The art of

    investment is to see the return maximized with the minimum of risk, which is

    inherent in investment.

    The project entries A study on effectiveness of Hedging Using Index Futures,

    deals with the construction of a portfolio on the basic of risk-returnevaluation and

    loss minimization using hedging. The companies are selected from the top lists of

    NSE based on p/e ratio and a beta value. Investing in individualsecurities involves

    lot of risks. It is better to invest in-group of securities to reduce risk. Selecting the

    group of securities is an important task. Investors are interested inmaximizing the

    return with minimum risk. Here six securities have been selected forconstructing

    the portfolio; these securities are representatives of different sector. Thesecurities

    selected are Airtel, Cipla, Infosys, Reliance industries, SBI and ONGC.There exist

    a considerable degree of difference in return and risk of varioussecurities.

    Futures and options are now traded on many exchanges throughout the world. A

    hedge is any act that reduces the price risk of an existing or anticipated position in

    the cash market. A future contact involves an obligation to buy or sell an asset of

    certain time in the future for a certain price. Basically there are two types of

    hedging with futures; long hedge and short hedge. There are two types of options:

    calls and puts. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset by a certain

    date for a certain price. A put option gives the holder to cell an asset by a certain

    date for certain price. A optimal portfolio is a group of securities, which has the

    maximum return and minimum risk. Futures and options trade on a wide range of

    different underlining assets.

    DERIVATIVES

    A derivative is, as the name suggests, a financial contract whose value is derived

    from the value of another asset. The underlying asset can be securities,commodities, bullion, currency, live stock or anything else. In other word,

    Derivative means a forward, future, option or any other hybrid contract of pre

    determined fixed duration, linked for the purpose of contract fulfillment to the

    value of a specified real or financial asset to an index of securities.

    The basic concept of derivative is a simple ancient one, with evidence that the

    Romans used them thousands of years ago, and that they have roots in Japan and

    Netherlands dating back to the early sixteenth centaury (Market History). Acommon example is a farmer use forward contract, type of derivative, to sell wheat

    before the harvest at a predetermined fixed price. The derivative in this case is used

    to protect the farmer against an expected decrease of the price in wheat, thus

    reducing g his exposure organization market risk (link organization market risk).

    On the other hand, the buyer accepts the risk associated with the fixed price and

    faces the poss8ibiliy of either financial gain or loss, depending on the difference

    between the fixed price and the actual price at the time of harvest. Consequently,

    one may think of derivatives as tool to buy and sell risk

    DEFINITION OF DERVATIVES

    It is a financial instrument whose characteristics and value depends upon the

    characteristics and value of an underlines, typically a commodity, bond equity or

    currency .Example of derivatives include futures and options. Advanced investors

    sometimes purchase or sell derivates to manage the risk associated with the

    underlying security, to protect against fluctuations in values, or to profit from

    periods of inactivity or decline. These techniques can be quite complicated andquite risky..With securities Laws (Second Amendment) Act, 1999,

    Derivatives has been include in the definition of Securities. The term Derivative

    has been defined in Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act, as:-

    a. Security derived from a debt instrument, share loan whether secured orunsecured, risk instrument or contract for difference or any other from of

    security.

    b. Contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of prices, ofunderlying securities.

    TYPES OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

    FUTURES

    Future Contracts organized/standardized contracts, which are traded on the

    exchanges. These contracts can be defined as a standardized, exchange traded

    agreement specifying a quality and price of particular type of commodity

    (Soybeans, gold, oil, etc.) to be purchased or sold at predetermined date in the

    future. On contract date, delivery and physical possession take place unless

    contract has been closed out. Futures are also available on various financial

    products and indexes today.

    Futures markets were design to solve the problem that exists in forward market. A

    future contracts an agreement between two parties to buy or sell asset at certain

    time in the future at a certain price but unlike forward contracts, futures contracts

    are standardized and exchange traded. To facilitate liquidity in the futures

    contracts, the exchange specifies certain standards features of the contracts. It is a

    standardized contracts with standard underline instrument, a standard quantity and

    quality of the underlying instrument that can be delivered, ( or which can be used

    for references purpose in settlement 0 and a standard timing of such settlement,. A

    futures contract may be offset prior to maturity by entering into an equal and

    opposite transactions. More than 99% of futures transactions are offset this way.

    FORWARD

    A forward contract is one to one bi- partite contract, to be performed in the future,

    at the terms decided today. (E.g. forward currency market in India). Forward

    contracts offer tremendous flexibility to the parties design the contract in terms ofthe price, quality (in case if commodities), delivery time and place but it suffers

    from poor liquidity and default risk.

    Forward contract different from a spot transaction, where payment of price and

    delivery of commodity concurrently takes place immediately the transaction is

    settled. In a forward contract the sale /purchase transaction of an asset is settled

    including the price payable, not for delivery/ settlement at spot, but a specified

    future date. India has strong dollar rupee forward market with contracts being

    traded for one, two sixmonth expiration. This contract includes currencies,

    stocks, swaps etc. Indian users of hedging services are also allowed to buy

    derivatives involving other currencies on foreign markets.

    SWAPS

    A swap, another type of liner derivatives, is a contract that allows two parties to

    exchange, or swap, payments for a period of time based on some notional principle

    amount. Swaps are private agreement between two parties to exchange cash flowsin the futures according to the pre-arranged formulae. The notional principle

    amount is not swapped, only the payment flows are exchange. i.e., Swaps are

    exchange of stream payment over agreed period. They can be regarded as a

    portfolio of forward contracts.

    OPTIONS

    Options are the standardized financial contracts that allows the buyer (holder) of

    the options, i.e. the right at the cost of option premium, not the obligation, to by

    (call options) or space sell (put options) a specified asset at a price on or before a

    specified date through exchanges under stringent financial securities against

    default.

    Options are instruments whereby the right is given by the option seller to option

    buyer to buy or sell asset at a specific prince price on or before a specific date.

    INDEX FUTURES

    Index Futures are the futures contract where the underlying asset is the cash market

    index. This of great help when one wants to take a position on market movements.

    Suppose if investors feel that, the markets are bullish and the Sensex world

    cross5000 points, instead of buying shares that constitute the Index he can buy the

    market by taking a position on the Index Futures. Both the Bombay Stock

    Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) have launched index futures

    in June 2000.

    ASSUMPTIONS OF FUTURES MARKET

    1. No seasonal demand and supply in the underlying asset.

    2. Storability of the underlying asset is not a problem

    3. The underlying asst can be sold short

    4. No transaction cost; No taxes

    5. No margin requirements, and so the analysis relates to a forward contract, rather

    than a futures contract.

    RISK

    Every investment is characterized by return and risk. Risk can be defined in terms

    of variability of returns. Risk is the potential of for variability in returns. An

    investment whose returns are fairly stable is considered to be a low risk

    investment, where as an investment whose returns fluctuate significantly is

    considered to be a high risk investment equity share whose returns are likely to

    fluctuate widely are considered risky investment .

    ELEMENTS OF RISK

    The total variability return of a security represents the total risk of that security.

    Systematic risk and unsystematic risk are the two components of total risk.Thus,

    Total risk = Systematic risk +Unsystematic risk.

    SYSTEMATIC RISK

    These are risk associated with the economic, political, sociological and other

    macro level changes. They effects and entire market whole and cannot be

    controlled or eliminated merely by diversifying ones portfolio. Systematic risk isfurther sub divided into interest rate risk, market risk, and purchasing power risk.

    UNSYSTEMATIC RISK

    These risks are unique to a firm or industry. Factors such as management

    capability, consumer preferences, labour, etc. contribute to unsystematic risk .

    Unsystematic risks are controllable by nature and can be considerably reduced by

    sufficiently diversifying ones portfolio.

    MEASURE OF BETA

    Beta is a measure of systematic risk (it is itself is not a systematic risk). It measures

    the sensitivity of a scrip/portfolio vies-a-vies index movement. Beta describes the

    relationship between the stocks return and the index return. Beta of scrip is index

    specific, i.e., Beta of the same scrip vis--vis sensex will be different from the beta

    value vies-a-vies Nifty. Also beta is a time frame specific value, i.e. beta of scrip

    vis--vis sensex taking last 6 months historical data into consideration , will bedifferent from the beta value that we get by taking the last one-year date into

    consideration , keeping all the other parameters constant.

    1. Beta = +1.0

    One percent change in market index return causes exactly one percent change in

    the stock return hence they move in tandem.

    2. Beta = +0.5.

    One percent change in market index return caused 0.5% change. so the stock is less

    volatile compared to the market .

    3. Beta = +2.0

    One percent change in market index return causes 2% change in the stock return,

    so the stock is highly volatile and hence risky.

    4. Negative beta

    This value indicates that stock return moves in the opposite direction to the market

    return. A negative beta will give positive return.

    HEDGING

    Hedging is the process of managing the risk of price changes in physical material

    by offsetting that risk in the futures market. Hedging can vary in complexity from a

    relatively simple activity, through to highly complex strategies, including the use

    of oppositions. The ability to hedge means that industry can decide on the amount

    of risk it is prepared to accept. It may wish to eliminate the risk entirely and can

    generally stock do so quickly and easily. Managing price risk means achieving

    greater control of either the cost of inputs, or revenues; and eliminating concerns

    DESIGN OF THE STUDY

    y Two market conditions were selected i.e. bullish trend in the month of mayand bearish trend in the month of June

    y Scrips were selected from different industry based on P/E ratio, beta valueand past track record.

    y Beta values were taken from NSEs websitey A portfolio was constructed.y Portfolio was hedged with index futures and net profit/loss were found o

    The study was basically empirical in nature. The aim was to test the effectiveness

    of hedging strategy with respect to Nifty Index Futures. The study was conducted

    by constructing a portfolio of six stocks from major industries. Trading was done

    on these six securities in both bullish and bearish market condition, then same

    securities were hedged with index futures to find out whether hedging is effective

    or not in both market condition. Fresh investment is done in the beginning of each

    period and a comparison study is done on these two separate periods.

    PERIOD OF THE STUDY

    The study was carried out for a two separate investment period

    1. First period from 04-05-2009 to 29-05-2009(Bullish market condition)

    2. Second period from 01.06.2009 to 30.06.2009.(Bearish market condition)

    SOURCE OF DATA

    Data used for study were historical or secondary in nature. They include:

    y Data relating to securities published by NSE.y Data from various web sites.

    TOOLS USED

    1. Portfolio analysis2. Beta value analysis

    PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS

    Number of securities to e taken = Value of Shares / Spot Price

    Gain or loss from the portfolio = Portfolio at the end Initial portfolio.

    BETA VALUE ANALYSIS

    BETA VALUE

    Beta= n xy+x y

    n x2- x2

    Where, n is the number of data points

    X is the bench mark returns, and

    Y is the investment returns.

    Portfolio Beta = Value of Beta Amount / Value of Portfolio

    Hedge Ratio = Portfolio Value * Portfolio Beta / Value of Index

    HEDGE RATIO

    Hedge ratio is referred to the number of futures contracts required to be sold or

    bought provide maximum offset of risk of a given value of investment in shares orother goods. This depends on the following:

    1. Value of a future contract

    2. Value of the portfolio or socks to be hedged and

    3. Sensitivity of the movement of the portfolio price to that of the index

    (beta).

    A study on effectiveness of hedging using Index Futures

    25

    CEC, PERUNADU

    It is calculated by using the following formula.

    Hedge ratio = value of portfolio * beta value/ value index

    The hedge ratio is closely related to the correlation between the asset (portfolio of

    shares) to be hedged and underlying (index) from which the future is derived.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    For the effectiveness of study total investment period was divided into a bullish

    period and a bearish period i.e. May and June respectively. A portfolio was created

    at the beginning of each month. It was assumed that on the beginning of both

    periods i.e. on 01-05-2009 and 01-06-2009 , the portfolio comprises of stocks of

    six companies worth nearly Rs 3Lakh each, amounting to Rs. 18 lakh. After thecollection of relevant data for the above mentioned period, these data were

    tabulated in meaningful manner. Calculation of the values of portfolios on different

    days, the profit or loss made by the portfolio and the hedge amount were calculated

    manually. Finally, the net profit or loss arising out of both hedged as well as

    unhedged positions for these periods were calculated and comparison was

    indicated graphically

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    y The duration of the study was limited to period of two month so that the extensive and deep study could not be possible.

    y The beta value for risk assessment is not precisely current as it changes fromtime to time.

    y The study were limited to 6 companies of NSE.y Financial statement is the record of past events only. Past events can never

    be 100% representative for future.

    y The study was depended based on secondary data.

    ANALYSIS OF PORTFOLIO WITHOUT HEDGING

    Suppose an investor makes an investment of Rs 18 lacks and makes his investment

    in 6 different companies of different industries. He decided to invest 3 lacks of

    investment in each industry. He brought the shares from the stock market at priceon 01/05/09 and 1/06/09. The quantity of shares that he buys is determined by the

    following formulae

    Quantity = Value of Share / Spot Price

    The main aim of every investment is earn profit. The main problem before the

    investor is that, will the portfolio earn expected return or the value of the portfolio

    will appreciate or not? Stock markets are volatile, so that there is equal chance of

    appreciation and depreciation. If the stock price increases, that will help the

    investor to gain profit and vice versa. Hence the investor will try to reduce the risk.

    One of the tool available to him is hedging in the future market. Investment is done

    in two separate periods

    Analysis for the month of may

    The portfolio of R. 18 lacks which contains scrip of 6 different industries. So, on

    the date (04.05.2009), the quantity of each companys share

    1644300 2001600 = -357300

    NET GAIN = Gain from the portfolio - loss from hedging

    299199 357300 = -58101

    INERPRETATION

    On 4th May 2009, investor bought the portfolio with the aim of holding it for a

    period of one month. He decided to hedge the portfolio for the whole time period.

    The full time hedging reduces the loss and the risk. By looking the value of

    appreciation / depreciation from 4th May 2009 to 29th May 2009, the value of the

    portfolio got appreciated leads to a profit of Rs. 299199. And investor expects a

    downward trend in the market and he decided to hedge the portfolio. Unfortunately

    market showed upward trend from 18th may because of the election result. By

    hedging the value of the portfolio for the same period leads him to a loss of Rs.

    357300 . The point of analysis tells us that the investor expected a negative trend

    and gone for hedging to minimize his losses but the market goes in the opposite

    direction and that leads to loss of Rs.58101.

    To avoid or minimize loss the investor should be wise enough to predict the

    down word trends of share prices. But also; an investor may not wise always!

    EFFECT OF HEDGING

    As on 01/06/2009 As on 30/06/2009

    Portfolio Value = 1799908 Portfolio Value = 1781013

    Hedged Amount = 1585465 Hedged Amount = 1501885

    LOSS FROM THE PORTFOLIO

    1781013- 1799908 = -18895

    GAIN FROM HEDGING

    1585465- 1501885 = 83580

    NET GAIN = Gain from hedging - loss from portfolio

    83580 -18895= 64685

    INERPRETATION

    On 1ST JUNE 2009, investor bought a portfolio with the aim of holding it for a

    period of one month. We have to hedge the portfolio for the whole time period.

    The full time hedging reduces the loss and the risk. By looking the value of

    appreciation / depreciation from 1ST JUNE 2009 to 30TH JUNE 2009, the value

    of the portfolio got depreciated leading to a loss of Rs. 18895. By hedging the

    value of the portfolio is seen to have appreciated and leads to a profit of Rs. 83580.

    The point of analysis tells us that If the investor had gone for hedging on 1st JUNE

    2009 using nifty future index, the investor could have earn a profit the of Rs.

    64685. To avoid or minimize loss the investor should be wise enough to predict the

    down word trends of share prices

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    On the basic of the analysis done and findings observed the following

    recommendations were given to existing and prospective investors:-

    1. If any one wants to hedge with portfolio, the portfolio must consist of scrips

    from different sectors and here index futures are better for hedging, since they are

    convenient and represent the true nature of the security market as a whole. The

    advantage is that the risk within the portfolio can be minimized completely and the

    portfolio will only be affected by the market risk.

    2. Hedging is actually a tool to reduce the losses that may arise from the market

    risk . Its primary objective is loss minimization, not profit maximization, some

    times. it gives profit/loss also. The profit or loss from futures or shares will be

    offset from the losses or gain of the shares and futures as the case may be. In this

    case, however it was possible to come up with two different result one with profit

    and another with loss. So it helps the investor to reduce risk in his portfolio

    3. Investor should be able to comprehend market trend and fluctuations. Otherwise

    the strategies adopted by him will cause loss.

    4. Hedging technique is more suited to an investor who is having a portfolio and

    the profit or loss caused to the portfolio can be offsets by profit or loss from

    hedging
