...Assignment 1 Financial Derivative Securities 312 P’eau James Chilton 15505480 Joyce Khuu Question 1 Use simultaneous equation in terms of payoffs J,K and L: J = [2,3] PJ = $0.08 Equation 1: 2J + 3K = 1 K = [3,1] PK = $0.05 Equation 2: 3J + K = 4 L = [1,4] PL = ? Rearrange equation 2: K = 4 – 3J Substitute K = 4 – 3J into equation 1: 2J + 3(4 – 3J) = 1 2J + 12 – 9J = 1 -7J = -11 J = 11/7 Substitute J = 11/7 into equation 2: 3(11/7) + K = 4 K = - 5/7 Therefore, in our replication portfolio we have 11/7 of security J and -5/7 of security K tp replicate security L. 11/7 [2,3] – 5/7 [3,1] = [1,4] If the price of PJ = $0.08 and PK = $0.05 the price of PL is the cost of the replication portfolio. PL = 11/7 (0.08) – 5/7 (0.05) PL = $0.09 Question 2 T = [1,0] PT = $0.60 U = [0,1] PU = $0.70 V = [4,3] PV = $4.30 Use simultaneous equation: Equation 1: T = 4 Equation 2: U = 3 4T + 3U = V Therefore, 4 [1,0] + 3 [0,1] = [4,3] The fair value of V given the replication portfolio: 4 (PT) + 3 (PU) = Pv 4 (0.60) + 3 (0.70) = Pv Pv = $4.50 It is undervalued in the market ($4.50 > $4.30). Therefore, an arbitrage exists. To take advantage of the arbitrage we would sell the replication portfolio for $4.50 and simultaneous buy security V at Pv = $4.30 Arbitrage is the difference: $4.20 - $4.50 = - $0.20 Since, this is money today - $0.20 with no negative liability in the future this is a type 2...

...9-205-074 REV: FEBRUARY 21, 2006 GEORGE CHACKO MARTI G. SUBRAHMANYAM VINCENT DESSAIN ANDERS SJÖMAN Advising on Currency Risk at ICICI Bank In March 2003, Shilpa Kumar, joint general manager of the Markets Advisory Group at ICICI Bank, India’s second-largest bank, had to come up with a recommendation. One of ICICI Bank’s customers, the Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC), had asked ICICI Bank’s advice on its currency exposure. PFC worked with the Indian power sector and especially with India’s various state electricity boards (SEBs) to finance their operations. PFC’s loans to the boards were primarily in Indian rupees (INR), but the loans that PFC had to take itself were often denominated in other currencies. PFC therefore found itself regularly with large foreign exchange exposures. At her last meeting in New Delhi with PFC’s deputy general manager, Rajeev Mehrotra, Kumar had learned that PFC’s current exposure was running close to INR 1,300 crore1 (about US$300 million), mostly in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen (JPY). Out of this exposure, Mehrotra was especially interested in hedging a Japanese yen loan equivalent to $100 million with a five-year tenor. Back at ICICI Bank’s headquarters in Bombay, Kumar now had to come up with recommendations for how PFC should handle this JPY exposure. Mehrotra had made it clear that he was uninterested in hearing about a full hedge for the entire exposure but that he hoped ICICI Bank could present alternative strategies that potentially...

...Derivatives and Hedging Over recent years, the volatility in the financial markets has increased due to substantial changes domestically and internationally. This has given rise to increased financial price risks faced by both domestic and multi-national companies. Financial Derivatives are widely used by corporations to adjust to exposure to currency risk, interest rate risks, commodity price risks, and security holdings risk. Largely, companies are currently exposed to risks caused by unexpected movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Companies with a growing global presence are especially exposed to a wide range of financial risks, in particular foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk. Although, financial risks are the center of business operations of financial service firms, but they also impact the risk exposure of non-financial corporations. The management and supervision of these risks has become vital for the existence of companies in today’s unpredictable financial markets. The major financial risks that most firms are exposed to are interest rate risk, currency rate risk, commodity price risk, and security holdings risk. Interest rate risk is a very common type of risk, and result from a discrepancy in the sensitivity of a firms assets and liabilities to interest rate movements. On the other hand, currency risk exposure is virtually encountered by all firms, even if their exposure is not from a transaction or a translation risk. Many firms are...

The most significant event in finance during the past decade has been the extraordinary development and expansion of financial derivatives. These instruments enhance the ability to differentiate risk and allocate it to those investors who are most able and willing to take it -- a process that has undoubtedly improved national productivity, growth and standards of living. Derivatives products provide certain important economic benefits such as risk management or redistribution of risk away from risk-averse investors towards those more willing and able to bear risk. Derivatives also help price discovery, i.e. the process of determining the price level for any asset based on supply and demand. All markets face various kinds of risks. This has induced the market par-ticipants to search for ways to manage risk. The derivatives are one ofthe categories of risk management tools. As this consciousness about risk management capacity of derivatives grew, the markets for derivatives de-veloped...
