‘TS' 'F' ,'G' and 'Z' groups.

The Exchange has for the guidance and benefit

of the investors have classified the scrip’s inthe Equity Segment into 'A', 'B1', 'B2','T', ‘S',

‘TS' and 'Z' groups on certain qualitative and

quantitative parameters which include number 

of trades, value traded, etc.

The “F” Group represents the Fixed Income

Securities.

The “T” Group represents scrip's which are

settled on a trade to trade basis as a

surveillance measure.

The “S” Group represent scrip’s forming part

of the “ BSE-Indonext” segment . The “TS”

The scrip’s of the companies which are in

demat can be traded in market lot of one but

the securities of companies which are still in

the physical form are traded on the Exchange

in the market lot of generally either 50 or 100.

However, the investors having quantities of 

securities less than the market lot are required

to sell them as "Odd Lots". The facility of 

trading in odd lots of securities not only offers

an exit route to investors to dispose of their odd

lots of securities but also provides them an

opportunity to consolidate their securities into

market lots.

This facility of selling physical shares in

compulsory demat scrips is called an Exit

Route Scheme. This facility can also be used

 by small investors for selling upto 500 shares

in physical form in respect of scrips of 

companies where trades are required to be

compulsorily settled by all investors in demat

mode.

Listed Securities:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 22/106

The securities of companies which have signed

Listing Agreement with the Exchange are

traded at the Exchange as "Listed Securities".

Baring a few scrip’s, all scrip’s traded in the

Equity Segment at the Exchange fall in this

category.

Permitted Securities:

To facilitate the market participants to trade in

securities of the companies which are actively

traded at other Regional Stock Exchanges but

are not listed on the Exchange, the Exchange

has in April 2002 decided to permit trading in

such securities as “Permitted Securities"

 provided they meet the relevant norms

specified by the Exchange.

 Tick Size:

Tick size is the minimum differences in rates

 between two orders on the same side i.e., buy

or sell, entered on the system for particular scrip. Trading in scrip’s listed on the Exchange

is done with the tick size of 5 paise.

However, in order to increase

Compulsory Rolling Settlement

(CRS) Segment: 

As per the directive by SEBI, all transactions in

all groups of securities in the Equity Segment

and Fixed Income securities listed on the

Exchange are required to be settled on T+2

 basis w.e.f. from April 1, 2003. The settlement

calendar, which indicates the dates of the

various settlement related activities, is drawn

 by the Exchange in advance and is circulated

among the market participants.

Under 

rolling settlements, the trades done on a

 particular day are settled after a given number 

of business days. A T+2 settlement cycle means

that the final settlement of transactions done on

T, i.e., trade day by exchange of monies and

securities between the buyers and sellers

respectively takes place on second business day

(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, bank andExchange trading holidays) after the trade day.

The transactions in securities of companies

which have made arrangements for

dematerialization of their securities are settled

only in demat mode on T+2 on net basis, i.e.,

 buy and sell positions of a member-broker in

the same scrip are netted and the net quantity

and value is required to be settled. However,

transactions in securities of companies, which

are in "Z" group or have been placed under 

"trade to trade" by the Exchange as a

surveillance measure (“T” and “TS” group) ,

are settled only on a gross basis and the facility

of netting of buy and sell transactions in such

scrip’s is not available.

The Exchange has introduced a new segment

named “BSE Indonext” w.e.f. January 7, 2005.

“S” group consists of scrips from “B1” & “B2”

group on BSE and companies exclusively listed

on regional stock exchanges having capital of 3

crores to 30 crores. All trades in this segment

are done through BOLT system under S group.

The transactions in 'F' group securities

representing "Fixed Income Securities" and "

G" group representing Govt. Securities for 

retail investors are also settled at the Exchange

on T+2 basis.

on the second business day (i.e., excluding

Saturday, Sundays and bank & Exchange

trading holidays) of the day of the execution of 

the trade.

* 6A/7A : A mechanism whereby the

obligation of settling the transactions done by amember-broker on behalf of a client is passed

on to a custodian based on confirmation of 

latter. The custodian can confirm the trades

done by the members on-line and upto 11 a.m.

on the next trading day. The late confirmation

of transactions by the custodian after 11:00

a.m. upto 12:15 p.m., on the next trading day

charges for late confirmation @ 0.01% of the

through the member-broker himself or through

a SEBI registered custodian appointed by

him/client. In case the delivery/payment in

respect of a transaction executed by a member-

 broker is to be given or taken by a registered

custodian, then the latter has to confirm the

trade done by a member-broker on the BOLT

System through 6A-7A entry. For this purpose,

the custodians have been given connectivity to

BOLT System and have also been admitted as

clearing member of the Clearing House. In case

a transaction done by a member-broker is not

confirmed by a registered custodian within the

time permitted, the liability for pay-in of funds

or securities in respect of the same devolves on

the concerned member-broker.

The following statements can be downloaded

 by the members in their back offices on a daily

 basis.

a. Statements giving details of the daily

transactions entered into by the members.

 b. Statements giving details of margins

 payable by the member-brokers in

Demat pay-in :

The members can effect pay-in of demat

securities to the Clearing House through either of the Depositories i.e. the National Securities

Depository Ltd. (NSDL) or Central Depository

Services (I) Ltd. (CDSL). The members are

required to give instructions to their respective

Depository Participants (DPs) specifying

details such as settlement no., effective pay-in

date, quantity, etc.

Members may also effect pay-in directly from

the clients' beneficiary accounts through

CDSL. For this, the clients are required to

mention the settlement details and clearing

member ID through whom they have sold the

securities. Thus, in such cases the Clearing

Members are not required to give any delivery

instructions from their accounts.

In case, if a member-broker fails to deliver the

securities, then the value of shares delivered

short is recovered from him at the

standard/closing rate of the scrip’s on the

trading day.

Auto delivery facility :

Instead of issuing Delivery instructions for 

their securities delivery obligations in demat

mode in various scrip’s in a settlement /auction,

a facility has been made available to the

members of automatically generating Delivery

instructions on their behalf from their CM Pool

accounts maintained with NSDL and CM

Principal Accounts maintained with CDSL.

This auto delivery facility is available for CRS

(Normal & Auction) and for trade to trade

settlements. This facility is, however, not

available for delivery of non-pari passu shares

and shares having multiple ISINs. The

members wishing to avail of this facility have

to submit an authority letter to the Clearing

House. This auto delivery facility is currently

available for Clearing Member (CM) Pool

accounts and Principal accounts maintained by

the members with the respective depositories .

Pay-in of securities in physical

form:

In case of delivery of securities in physical

form, the members have to deliver the

securities to the Clearing Hose in special

closed pouches along with the relevant details

like distinctive numbers, scrip code, quantity,

etc., on a floppy. The data submitted by the

members on floppies is matched against the

master file data on the Clearing House

computer systems. If there is no discrepancy,

then the securities are accepted.

Funds Pay-in:

The bank accounts of members maintained

with the clearing banks, viz., Bank of India,

HDFC Bank Ltd., Oriental Bank of  

Commerce., Standard Chartered Bank,

Centurion Bank Ltd., UTI Bank Ltd., ICICI

Clearing House. Based on the break up given

 by the member-brokers, the Clearing House

instructs depositories, viz., CDSL & NSDL to

credit the securities to the Beneficiary Owners

(BO) Accounts of the clients. In case delivery

of securities received from one depository is to

 be credited to an account in the other 

depository, the Clearing House does an inter 

depository transfer to give effect to such

transfers.

In case of physical securities,

the Receiving Members are required to collect

the same from the Clearing House on the pay-

out day.

Funds Payout:

The bank accounts of the members having pay-

out of funds are credited by the Clearing House

with the Clearing Banks on the pay-in day

itself 

In case, if a member-broker fails to deliver the

securities, then the value of shares delivered

short is recovered from him at the

standard/closing rate of the scrips on the

trading day.

Dematerialization of shares:

Dematerialization as the name suggests, is a

term used for conversion of shares from their 

  physical form to electronic form. This

conversion is done by NSDL and CDSL. The

CDSL acts as a depository for BSE, whereas

the NSDL acts as a depository for NSE. After 

dematerialization, shares cease to exist in their 

 physical form.

Merits of dematerialization:

 No risk of being fake or stolen shares.

 No stamp duty while transfer of shares.

Free from tedious paperwork as it was in the

 physical form.

Stock exchanges have now discarded the

concept of marketable lots, small lots and

odd lots.

Rematerialization:

Rematerialization is the reverse of 

dematerialization. It means to convert the

electronically held shares back into physical form.

You have the complete freedom of conversion

from electronic form to physical form whenever 

you want to do so.

OPEN INTEREST IN

DERIVATIVE MARKET

Open interest means the total number of 

open contracts on a security, that is, the number 

Page | 43

Page 44: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 44/106

of future contracts or options contracts that

have not been exercised, expired or full filled

 by delivery. Hence we can say that the open

interest position at the end of each day

represents the net increase or decrease in the

number of contracts for that day. However, it is

to be noted that open interest is not the same as

trading volume. Trading volume represents the

total number of contracts that are traded during

a day, inclusive of both squared –off (closed)

 positions and new positions. Thus, for any day,

the trading volume will always be higher than

the open interest.

What is open interest?

Every trade in the exchange would have

an impact on the open interest for that day. Say,

for example, “A” buys one contract of Nifty on

Monday while “B” buys two on the same day.

Open interest at the end of the day will be

three. On Tuesday, while “A” sells his one

contract to “C”, “B” buys another Nifty

contract. The open interest at the end of the day

is now four. In other words, if both parties to

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 46/106

 positions and suggests the flow of extra money

into the market.

RISING MARKET AND DECREASING

OPEN INTEREST

If despite a rise in market, the open

interest decreases, it can be interpreted as a

  precursor to a trend reversal. The lack of 

additions to open interest shows that the

markets are rising on the back of short-sellers

covering their existing positions. This also

implies that money is flowing out of the

market, given that open interest is decreasing.

 FALLING MARKET AND INCREASING

OPEN INTEREST

When open interest records an increase in

value amidst falling market, it could be a

 bearish signal. Though a rise in open interest

means that new money is probably being used

Page | 46

Page 47: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 47/106

for creating fresh short positions, which will

lead to a further downtrend.

FALLING MARKET AND

DECREASING OPEN INTEREST

If open interest decreases in a falling

market, it can be attributed to the forced

squaring- off of long – positions by traders. It,

thus, represents a trend reversal, since the

downtrend in the market is likely to reverse

after the long positions have been squared off.

Thus, in a falling market, a declining open

interest can be considered a signal indicating

the strengthening of the market.

SIDEWAYS MARKET ANDINCRESING OPEN INTEREST

If the open

interest decreases in a sideways market, we can

Page | 47

Page 48: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 48/106

say that flat market trends will continue for 

some more time. A decrease in open interest

only represents the squaring-off of old

 positions and lack of any new positions might

result in a sideways or weak trends in the

market.

Though open interest is a good barometer 

of where the markets are heading; it is only an

indicator that helps us trade intelligently it

cannot be considered foolproof.

 THE INDEX NUMBER

An index is a number which

measures the change in a set of values over a

  period of time. A stock index represents the

change in value of a set of stocks which

constitute the index. More specifically, a stock 

index number is the current relative value of a

weighted average of the prices of a pre-defined

group of equities. It is a relative value to the

weighted average of prices at some arbitrarily

chosen starting date or base period. The

Page | 48

Page 49: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 49/106

starting value or base of the index is usually set

to a number such as 100 or 1000. for example

the base value of the Nifty was set to 1000 on

the start date of November 3, 1994.

A good stock market index is on which

captures the behavior of the overall equity

market. It should represent the market, it

should be well diversified and yet highly

liquid. Movements of the index should

represent the returns obtained by “typical”

 portfolios in the country.

A market index is very important for its use

As a barometer for market behavior,

As a benchmark portfolio performance,

As an underlying in derivative

instruments like index futures,

In passive fund management by index

funds

Also acts a barometer for lot of elements

such as liquidity in the market, thegrowth of the economy, the investor’s

confidence, government policies etc.

DESIRABLE ATTRIBUTE OF AN

INDEX

A good market index should have the following

attributes:

It should capture the behavior of a large

variety of different portfolios in the

market.

The stocks included in the index should

 be highly liquid.

It should be professionally maintained.

Capturing Behavior Of Portfolios

A good market index should accurately

reflect the behavior of the overall market as

well as of different portfolios. This is achieved

  by diversification in such a manner that a

  portfolio is not vulnerable to any individual

stock or industry risk. A well diversified index

is more representative of the market. However 

there is diminishing returns form

Page 51: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 51/106

diversification, there is very little gain by

diversifying beyond a point; the more serious

 problem lies in the stocks that are included in

the index when it is diversified. We end up

including illiquid stocks, which actually

worsen the index. Since an illiquid stock does

not reflect the current price behavior of the

market, its inclusion in index results in an

index, which reflects, delayed or stale price

 behavior rather than current price behavior of 

the market.

Including Liquid Stocks

Liquidity is much more than trading

frequency, it is about ability to transact at a

 price, which is very close to the current market

 price. For example, a stock is considered liquid

if one can buy some shares at around Rs.120.05

and sell at around Rs.119.95, when the market

 price is ruling at Rs.120. a liquid stock has very

tight bid ask spread.

Maintaining Professionally

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 52/106

It is now clear that an index should

contain as many stocks with as little impact

cost as possible. This necessarily means that

the same set of stocks would not satisfy these

criteria at all times, a good index methodology

must therefore incorporate a steady pace of 

change in the index set. It is crucial that such

changes are made at a steady pace. It is very

healthy to make a few changes every year, each

of which is small and does not dramatically

alter the character of the index, on a regular 

  basis, the index set should be reviewed, and

 brought inline with the current state of market,

to meet the application needs of users, a time

series of the index sold be available.

Impact cost

Market impact cost is a measure of the

liquidity of the market. It reflects the costs

faced when actually trading an index. For a

stock to qualify for possible inclusion into the

index, it has to have market impact cost of 

 below 0.75% when doing Nifty trades of half a

crores rupees. The market impact cost on a

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 53/106

trade of Rs.3 million of the full Nifty works out

to be about 0.05%. This means that if Nifty is

at 4000, a buy order goes through at 4002, i.e.

4000+ (4000*0.0005) and a sell order gets

3998 i.e. 4000-(4000*0.0005)

FUTURES AND OPTIONS

An option is different form futures in

several ways. At practical level, the option

 buyer faces an interesting situation. He pays for 

the options in full at the time it is purchased.

After this, he only has an upside. There is no

 possibility of the options position generatingany further losses to him. This is different

form futures, which is free to enter into, but

can generate very large losses. This

characteristic makes options attractive to many

occasional market participants, who cannot put

in the time to closely monitor their futures positions.

Buying put options is buying insurance.

To buy a put option on Nifty is to buy

insurance which reimburses the full extent to

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 54/106

which Nifty drops below the strike price of the

 put option. This is attractive to many people,

and to mutual funds creating “guaranteed

return products”.

 TRADING UNDERLYING VERSUS

 TRADING SINGLE STOCK 

FUTURES

The single stock futures market in India

has been a great success story across the world.

  NSE ranks first in the world in terms of 

number of contracts traded in single stock 

futures. One of the reasons for the success

Page | 54

Page 55: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 55/106

could be the ease of trading and settling these

contracts.

To trade securities, a customer must open

a security trading account with a securities

 broker and a demat account with a securities

depository. Buying security involves putting up

all the money upfront. With the purchase of 

shares of a company, the holder becomes a part

owner of the company. The shareholder 

typically receives the rights and privileges

associated with the security, which may include

the receipt of dividends, invitation to the

annual shareholders meeting and the power to

vote.

Selling securities involves buying the

security before selling it. Even in cases where

short selling is permitted, it is assumed that the

securities broker owns the security and then

“lends” it to the trader so that he can sell it,

  besides, even if permitted, short sales on

security can only be executed on an up tick.

To trade futures, a customer must open a

futures trading account with a derivatives

 broker. Buying futures simply involves putting

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 56/106

in the margin money. They enable the futures

traders to take a position in the underlying

security without having to open an account

with a securities broker. With the purchase of 

futures on a security, the holder essentially

makes a legally binding promise or obligation

to buy the underlying security at some point in

the future. Security futures do not represent

ownership in a corporation and the holder is

therefore not regarded as a shareholder.

DERIVATIVE MARKET AT NSE

The derivatives trading on the NSE

commenced with S&P CNX Nifty Index

futures on June 12, 2000. The trading in index

options commenced on June 4, 2001 and

trading in options on individual securities

commenced on July 2, 2001. Single stock 

futures were launched on November9, 2001.

Today, both in terms of volume and turnover,

The mini derivative Futures & Options

contract on S&P CNX Nifty was

introduced for trading on January 1,

2008 while the long term option

contracts on S&P CNX Nifty were

introduced for trading on March 3

2008

NSE is the largest derivatives exchange

in India.

Currently, the

derivatives contracts have a maximum of 3-

month expiration cycles. Three contracts are

available for trading, with 1 month, 2 months

and 3 months expiry.

A new contract is introduced on the next

trading day following the expiry of the near 

month contract.

 INDEX DERIVATIVES

Index derivatives are derivative contracts

which have the index as the underlying. The

most popular index derivatives contract the

world over is index futures and index options.

 NSE’s market index, the S&P CNX Nifty was

scientifically designed to enable the launch of

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 58/106

index- based products like index derivatives

and index funds. The first derivative contract to

  be traded on NSE’s market was the index

futures contract with the Nifty as the

underlying. This was followed by Nifty options

and thereafter by sectoral indexes, CNX IT and

BANK Nifty contracts.

FUTURES TERMINOLOGY

SPOT PRICE: The price at which an asset

trades in the spot market

FUTURES PRICE: The price at which the

futures contract trades in the futures market.

CONTRACT CYCLE: The period over 

which a contract trades. The index futures

contracts on the NSE have one month, two

months and three months expiry cycles whichexpire on the last Thursday of the month. Thus

a January expiration contract expires on the last

Thursday of January.

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 59/106

EXPIRY DATE: It is the date specified in the

futures contract. This is the last day on which

the contract will be traded, at the end of which

it will cease to exist.

CONTRACT SIZE: The amount of asset that

has to be delivered under one contract. For 

instance, the contract size on NSE’s futures

market is 200 Nifties.

BASIS: In the context of financial futures,

 basis can be defined as the futures price minus

the spot price, there will be a different basis for 

each delivery month for each contract. In a

normal market, basis will be positive; this

reflects that futures prices normally exceed

spot prices.

COST OF CARRY: the relationship between

futures prices and spot prices can be

summarized in terms of what is known as the

cost of carry. This measures the storage cost

Page | 59

Page 60: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 60/106

 plus the interest that is paid to finance the asset

less the income earned on the asset.

INITIAL MARGIN: the amount that must be

deposited in the margin account at the time

a futures contract is first entered into is known

as initial margin.

MARKET TO MARKET: in the futures

market, at the end of each trading day, the

margin account is adjusted to reflect the

investor’s gain or loss depending upon the

futures closing price. This is called Marking-to-

market.

MAINTENANCE MARGIN: This is

somewhat lower than the initial margin. This is

set to ensure that the balance in the margin

account never becomes negative. If the balance

in the margin account falls below the

maintenance margin, the investor receives a

margin call and is expected to top up the

margin account to the initial margin level

 before trading commences on the next day.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 61/106

A futures contract is different from the

underlying stock in the following ways:

When we buy a stock, we pay the full

value of the transaction (i.e. the number 

of shares multiplied by market price of 

each share) whereas in futures we pay

only the margin which is a fraction of the

total transaction value.

There is no time limit of settlement in

cash market but in case of futures

contracts, they are dated. An Indian

futures settlement currently takes place

on the last Thursday of every month. So

the current month’s futures expire on the

month’s last Thursday. If a trader has to

carry his position to the next month, he

has to shift his position to the next

month’s future.

One can only go long in the spot market.

We cannot short sell unless we borrow

the stock, something which is neither

cheaper nor convenient whereas one can

go long or short on the futures depending

on his short term view of the markets.

The cash market has a lot of none, i.e. a

 person can buy any stock in the multiple

of one unit where as a futures contract is

the smallest unit which one can trade in

the futures market.

There is no way of taking a position on

the index through the cash market

whereas futures facilitate trading of index

futures.

A futures contract price

is the sum of cash price and the monthly cost of 

carry. The cost of carry should always be

  positive because a futures trade is really a

carried forward product similar to the erstwhile

  badla. But just as badla rates sometimes

 become negative when the market sentiment is

 bearish, the cost of carry can also similarly be

negative when the sentiment is poor.

 INDEX DERIVATIVES FOR HEDGING

To understand the use and functioning of 

the index derivatives markets, it is necessary to

understand the underlying index. By looking at

an index, we know how the market is faring.

Index derivatives allow people to cheaply alter 

their risk exposure to an index (hedging) and to

implement forecasts about index movements

(speculation). Hedging using index derivatives

has become a central part of risk management

in the modern economy.

Pricing the Futures

A futures price can be

simply derived by applying the cost of carry

logic, by which the fair value of a futures

Page | 66

Page 67: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 67/106

contract can be determined. Every time the

observed price deviates form the fair value,

arbitragers would enter into trades to capture

the arbitrage profit. This in turn would push the

futures price back to its fair value. The cost of 

carry model used for pricing futures is as

follows:

F=SerT

Where:

r= cost of financing continuously compounded

interest rate

T= Time till expiration in years

e= 2.71828

Example:

Security XYZ ltd trades in the spot market at

Rs. 1150. Money can be invested at 11% p.a.

The fair value of a one month futures contract

on XYZ is calculated as follows:

INITIAL MARGIN

At the inception of a contract every client

is required to pay initial margin. This

CONVERGENCE OF FUTURES PRICE

 TO SPOT PRICE

As the delivery month of a futures

contract is approached, the futures price

converges to the spot price of the underlying

asset. When the delivery period is reached, the

futures price equals or is very close to the spot

 price.

To see why this so, we first suppose that

the futures price is above the spot price during

the delivery period. Traders then have a clear 

arbitrage opportunity:

Short a futures contract

Buy the asset

Make the delivery

Page | 69

Page 70: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 70/106

These steps are

certain to lead to a profit equal to the amount

 by which the futures price exceeds the spot

  price. As traders exploit this arbitrage

opportunity, the futures price will fall. Suppose

next that the futures price is below the spot

  price during the delivery period. Companies

interested in acquiring the asset will find it

attractive to enter into a long futures contract

and then wait for delivery to be made. As they

do so, the futures price will tend to rise.

The result is that

the futures price is very close to the spot price

during the delivery period.

  The convergence of the

futures price to the spot price when

future price is above the spot price

can be pictorially represented as

follow:

Thus an option is the right to buy or sell a

specified amount of a financial instrument at a

 pre- arranged price on, or before, a particular 

date.

There are two options which can be exercised:

Call option, a right to buy is referred to

as a call option.

Put option, the right to sell is referred as

a put option.

OPTION TERMINOLOGY

INDEX OPTIONS: these options have the

index as the underlying. Some options are

European while others are American. European

style options can be exercised only on the

maturity date of the option, which is known as

the expiry date. An American style option can be exercised at any time up to, and including,

the expiry date. It is to be noted that the

distinction has nothing to do with geography.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 77/106

Both type of the option are traded through out

the world

STOCK OPTIONS: Stock options are

options on individual stocks. A contract gives

the holder the right to buy or sell shares at the

specified price.

BUYER OF AN OPTION: the buyer of an

option is the one who by paying the option

 premium buys the right but not the obligation

to exercise his options on the seller/writer.

WRITER OF AN OPTION: The writer of a

call/put option is the one who receives the

option premium and is thereby obliged to

sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercised on him.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 78/106

STRIKE PRICE: the price specified in the

options contract is known as the strike price or 

the exercise price.

IN THE MONEY OPTION: An in the

money option is an option that would lead to a

  positive cash flow to the holder if it were

exercised immediately. A call option on the

index is said to be in-the-money (ITM) when

the current index stands at a level higher than

the strike price (i.e. spot price> strike price). If 

the index is much higher than the strike price,

the call is said to be deep ITM.. In the case of a

 put, the put is ITM if the index is below the

strike price.

AT THE MONEY OPTION: An at the

money option is an option that would lead to

zero cash flow if it were exercised

immediately. An option on the index is at the

money when the current index equals the strike

 price(i.e. spot price = strike price).

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 79/106

OUT OF THE MONEY OPTION: An out

of the money (OTM) option is an option that

would lead to a negative cash flow if it were

exercised immediately. A call option on the

index is out of the money when the current

index stands at a level which is less than the

strike price(i.e. spot price < strike price). If the

index is much lower than the strike price, the

call is said to be deep OTM. In the case of a

 put, the put is OTM if the index is above the

strike price.

INTRINSIC VALUE OF AN OPTION:

The option premium can be broken down into

two components- intrinsic value and time

value. The intrinsic value of a call is the

amount the option is ITM, if it is ITM. If the

call is OTM, its intrinsic value is zero.

 TIME VALUE OF AN OPTION: The time

value of an option is the difference between its

 premium and its intrinsic value. Usually, the

maximum time value exists when the option is

ATM. The longer the time to expiration, the

greater is an option’s time value, or else equal.

At expiration, an option should have no time

value.

STRATEGIES IN FUTURES

AND OPTIONS

The following are the four basic

strategies in options market which can be

further designed in combination of one or more

of the basic strategies, but all the complex

strategies are based on the following 4 basic

kind of strategies, so the understanding of these

4 strategies is very essential before we go any

further:

BUYING A CALL OPTION

the above strategy:

Figure: C

In the above example when GMR falls to

a price of Rs.400, the buyer of the option can

 purchase the share form the market at Rs.400

with out exercising the right to buy the stock at

Rs.500. However, on that he incurs a loss of 

Rs.25 as the premium being paid for the option

remaining unexercised. But suppose that the

Page | 82

Page 83: 17765525 Equities Market

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 83/106

share prices rise to Rs.750 then the holder of 

the option has the right to purchase that share

at a price of Rs.500 form the seller of the

option. In this case any price level above

Rs.525 (500+25), which is the breakeven point,

results in a profit for the buyer of the option.

Investment in the above option is

Rs.25*1000=Rs.25000.

In the above diagram we can notice that

the payoffs are one to one after the price of the

underlying security rises above the exercise

 price. When the security price is less than the

exercise price, the option is referred to as out of 

the money.

Form the above figure it can be seen that

the investor who is already long i.e. holds a

stock bears a loss only to the extent of Rs.25

 because no matter if the share price fall below

Rs.500 the investor is not holding any stock.

Once the investor is either long or short the

stock he can adopt any of these strategies to

hedge his risk.

The above strategy was applied in the

month of June

As it can be seen from the above table

that the call option price of the stock has given

a fantastic return of over 900% on investment

of Rs.25000 only. Here the risk of the above

investment was limited only to Rs.25000

BUYING A PUT

The second strategy is the put strategy where

the buyer of the put option has to pay a

  premium(price) for the option to sell a

specified quantity at a specified price any time

 prior to the maturity of the option. Here wetake the example of buying a put option on the

stock of AIR DECCAN. The exercise price was

Rs.140. The premium paid on the above option

was Rs.4.10 on 04-06-2009. investment in the

above strategy is Rs.4.10*2500=Rs.10,250.

The pay off form a put can be illustrated.

 Notice that the payoffs are one to one when the

 price of the security is less than the exercise

 price.

 price or zero.

In the above diagram we can notice how

the down side risk is minimized if the stock is

volatile and the share prices may fall.

Here an investor will get profits only if the

stock falls below Rs.134.9

In this option the investor has gained 64.6%

with in a month.

WRITING THE CALL OPTIONS

A call option gives the buyer the right to

  buy the underlying asset at the strike price

specified in the option. For selling the option,

the writer of the option charges a premium. The

 profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option

depends on the spot price of the underlying.

Whatever is the buyer’s profit is the seller’s

loss. If upon expiration, the spot price exceeds

the strike price, the buyer will exercise the

option on the writer. Hence as the spot price

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 88/106

increases the writer of the option starts making

losses. Higher the spot price more is the loss he

makes, if upon expiration the spot price of the

underlying is less than the strike price, the

 buyer lets his option expire unexercised and the

writer gets to keep the premium.

As the options are always costly at the

 beginning of the month we have written a call

option on CAIRN INDIA LIMITED ON 1st of 

June at a strike price of Rs.140 with a premium

of Rs.8.5,

WRITING OF PUT OPTIONS

A put option gives the buyer the right to

writer. If upon the expiration the spot price of 

the underlying is more than the strike price, the

 buyer lets his option expire un-exercised and

the writer gets to keep the premium.

CONCLUSIONS

1) Derivatives in equity specially are more

suited to provide for hedging and more

cost effective. It has less risky and more

 profitable.

2) As the stock Index Futures and Options

are available, the FII’s buying /selling

operations can be performed at greater 

speed and less cost and without adding

too much to market volatility.

Page | 100

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 101/106

3) Most of investors are trading not only in

derivatives for hedging, but also for other 

 purposes.

4) Derivatives do not create any new risk.

They simply manipulate risks and

transfer them to those who are willing to

 bear these risks.

5) Hedging through derivatives reduces the

risk of owning a specified asset, which

may be share currency etc.

6) All derivative instruments are very

simple to operate. Treasury managers

and portfolio managers can hedge all

risks without going through the tedious

 process of hedging each day and

amount/share separately.
