...Impact of derivative trading on the volatility in the stock market of India -Abhinav Barik Abstract This research paper focuses on the impact the derivative trading has had on the stock market of India. The impact is judged by the change in the volatility after the introduction of the derivative trading. In this paper 5 stocks are taken on which derivative trading was introduced and 4 stocks on which derivative trading was not introduced. The daily closing price of those stocks was taken for two periodspre derivative period and the post derivative period. These were analyzed using GARCH model to find the variance equation and then the GARCH coefficients from this equation were compared using the Wald test to check if the volatility has actually changed. The study suggests that the volatility has decreased for 4 companies, increased for 2 and two other companies did not show any significant change in the volatility. * Keywords: volatility, derivative, correlogram diagram, unit root, GARCH, Wald test *MBA student (2010-12), ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL, Hyderabad barik.abhinav@rediffmail.com 1.

Hills, Kottayam – 686560, Kerala State, India *Corresponding author: tmmallik@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This paper studies the volatility implications of the introduction of derivatives on stock market volatility in India using the S&P CNX Nifty Index as a benchmark. To account for non-constant error variance in the return series, a GARCH model is fitted by incorporating futures and options dummy variables in the conditional variance equation. We find clustering and persistence of volatility before and after derivatives, while listing seems to have no stabilisation or destabilisation effects on market volatility. The postderivatives period shows that the sensitivity of the index returns to market returns and any day-of-the-week effects have disappeared. That is, the nature of the volatility patterns has altered during the post-derivatives period. Keywords: conditional volatility, heteroscedasticity, volatility clustering, market efficiency INTRODUCTION The modelling of asset returns volatility continues to be one of the key areas of financial...

...Essay topic: why companies use currency derivatives? Currency derivative can be defined as a contract or financial agreement to exchange two currencies at a given rate or a contract whose value is derived from the rate of exchange of two currencies on spot (Shoup, 1998). Currency derivatives are developed and adopted to implement a strategy known as hedging, in which an organisation acquires a contract in order to offset an expected drop or rise in value of a position or future cash flow (Belk & Edelshain, 1997). This essay will outline the incentives and rationales behind an organisation that uses currency derivatives. There are three types of currency derivatives used in hedging, future contracts, forward contracts and options, although swaps are also commonly considered as a currency derivative (Shoup, 2008). These instruments are derived from a spot rate, which is the price of the “underlying currency” (Eiteman, Stonehill & Moffett, 2009). Options are normally more costly than future contracts and forward contracts, because options are rights rather than obligations to buy or sell a currency (gives buyers the right not to exercise the contract if the spot rate movement is not favourable) (Belk & Edelshain, 1997). Research in New Zealand indicates that 70% of currency derivative users used forwards, which are most prevalent currency derivative instrument (Chan, Gan & McGraw, 2003). This is possibly because forwards are easy to manage and understand and can be used in frequent...

...MANAGING F OREIGN E XCHANGE R ISK WITH DERIVATIVES by Gregory W. Brown* The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May, 2000 Version 3.4 Abstract This study investigates the foreign exchange risk management program of HDG Inc. (pseudonym), an industry leading manufacturer of durable equipment with sales in more than 50 countries. The analysis relies primarily on a three month field study in the treasury of HDG. Precise examination of factors affecting why and how the firm manages its foreign exchange exposure are explored through the use of internal firm documents, discussions with managers, and data on 3110 foreign-exchange derivative transactions over a three and a half year period. Results indicate that several commonly cited reasons for corporate hedging are probably not the primary motivation for why HDG undertakes a risk management program. Instead, informational asymmetries, facilitation of internal contracting, and competitive pricing concerns seem to motivate hedging. How HDG hedges depends on accounting treatment, derivative market liquidity, foreign exchange volatility, exposure volatility, technical factors, and recent hedging outcomes. * Department of Finance, Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CB 3490 – McColl Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490.

...The contagious impact of the European sovereign debt crisis on the foreign exchange market 1. Introduction In 2010, the debt crisis caused the euro to go down 10% in a three-month period. Some largest hedge funds in America discovered this opportunity and short euro in groups to an enormous scale. Later on, the British pound is being infected. It continuously dropped for six days, which wrote the longest dropping period record. In this paper, the objective is to critically analyse how the European sovereign debt crisis affects foreign exchange markets. The theme focuses on the contagion on the markets. The contagion phenomenon exists between foreign exchange spot and derivative markets. One of the channels is the investor sentiment, which makes large scale of influences on both markets and volatility dynamics (Corredor, P., Ferrer, E., Santamaria, R., 2015). It makes sense on aspects like trading volume, effective transaction costs and so on. This paper has two main parts. The first part is to evaluate impacts on foreign exchange spot market through analysing the political channel, bank channel and financial markert channel. The second part is to investigate impacts on foreign exchange derivatives, especially on the foreign exchange swap. 2.

The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. Counterparty risk in the United States stemming from exposures to OTC derivatives payables (after netting) is now concentrated in five banks―Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Citi. This note analyzes how such risks have shifted over the past year. We estimate that the adverse impact of counterparty risk on high-grade collateral flows and global liquidity due to decrease in rehypothecation, reduced securities lending, and hoarding of cash by major banks is at least $5 trillion. In order to mitigate counterparty risk, there have been regulatory initiatives to establish central counterparties (CCPs). From a policy perspective, counterparty risk remains large at present and recent experience...

...Case Study on PepsiCo’s Use of Financial Derivatives 1. Introduction 1.1 PepsiCo’s History The Pepsi-Cola Company was incorporated in 1919 by Caleb Bradham, the inventor of the Pepsi-Cola soft drink. PepsiCo became a multinational beverage and snack food company in 1965 when Pepsi-Cola merged with Frito-Lay. Since the 1965 merger PepsiCo has expanded its operations by acquiring Quaker-Oats, Tropicana, and Gatorade brands. With sales of $66.86 billion in 2014 and with products sold in over 200 countries, PepsiCo is one of the leading food and beverage companies in the world (PepsiCo, 2014). 1.2 PepsiCo’s Industry The beverage and snack food industries are both in the mature stage in their life cycles, and companies in these industries largely depend on product innovation, brand recognition, and low prices to remain competitive. Like all companies PepsiCo faces risk of increases in operating expenses and decreases in net income due to market risk. Companies in PepsiCo’s industry have been forced to expand its product offerings into healthy foods and drinks due to an insurgent health and wellness in American culture. 1.3 PepsiCo’s Competitors PepsiCo’s top competitors consist of The Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and Nestle; additionally, because PepsiCo is a multinational company it must also compete with countless local snack and beverage companies across the globe. Coca-Cola has been viewed as PepsiCo’s main rival for around 100 years, and the competition...

And, inevitably, it is a future with lower returns on capital, higher costs of doing business and slower growth with ultimate effects to be felt by shareholders and end consumers.

The markets have already started to price Basel III impact. As shown in Figure 1, the credit default swap (CDS) market already pays more attention to banks’ pro-forma capital adequacy levels under Basel III rather than to the current standards. As the equity markets better understand the return on equity (ROE) impact of new standards and bank strategies become more clearly articulated, investors will be in a better position to analyse and compare risk-adjusted performance and thus to drive stock valuation differences in due course.

...TITLE RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Risk management is the identification, assessement , and prioritization of risk (whether positive or negative) followed by co ordination and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact or unfortunate or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Risk can come from uncertainty in financial markets, project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accident, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attack from adversary. The financial crises exposed inherent weakness in the risk management system: soled infrastructure, disparate system and processes, fragmented decision making, inadequate forecasting and a dearth of cohesive reporting, among others. The impact of these flaws on many institutions shocked the industry. As a result, there has been a seismic shift in attitude towards risk. Wherever there is a investment, there exists Risk, and we have to analyse the risk quotient before investing/lending . Risk exists because of the inability of the decision makers to make perfect forecasts. Forecast cannot be made with perfection or certainty since the future events on which they depend on uncertain. Risk arises in investment or lending evaluation. In financial economics , a financial institutions is a institution that provides financial services for its clients or members.
