Basic Derivatives

• Forwards

• Futures

• Options

• Swaps

Underlying Assets

• Interest rate based

• Equity based

• Foreign exchange

• Commodities

A derivative is a financial security with value based on or derived from an underlying financial asset

The usage is often risk management

Forwards

• Derivative contract to receive or deliver an underlying asset at a particular price, quality, quantity, and place at a future date– Long: Obligation to buy and take delivery of an asset for $K at time T– Short: Obligation to sell and deliver an asset for $K at time T

– ISDA Definition

• Often a risk management contract– The counterparty may be hedging risk also, may be speculating, may be an

arbitrageur or may be a dealer that ‘lays off’ the risk in its net position

Forwards

Forward Price

• Over the counter market e.g., banks

• Arbitrage pricing– Only risk free returns without taking risk– Forward prices are not based on ‘forecasted’ prices

• Example: spot price of gold is $1200/oz, interest rate on money is 4%, storage cost of gold is .5%, and gold lease rate is .125%.

Arbitrage Pricing Say a dealer offers a gold forward (bid and offer) price, F, of $1300, to be settled in gold 1 year from now

At time 0Short a forward contract with forward price $1300Borrow $1200 at 4% for a yearBuy gold at $1200 spotStore the gold @ .5%Flat position: You have obligations, but have not used any of your funds

At 1 yearPay loan and interest

$1200(1+.04)Pay storage fee

$1200(1+.005)Deliver the stored gold and

receive $1300Arbitrage profit of $46.00

Arbitrage Pricing Say a dealer offers a gold forward (bid and offer) price, F, of $1150

At time 0‘Go long’ (buy) a forward contract with forward price $1150Borrow (lease) goldSell the gold in spot market for $1200Loan the $1200 at 4%Flat position

At 1 yearTake delivery on gold

and pay $1150

Return gold and pay lease fee

Receive $1200 deposit @ 4%

Arbitrage profit of $46.50 at no risk

Arbitrage Pricing

F = S ( 1 + r T + s T)

F = $1200 ( 1 + .04 + .005 )

= $1252.50

F = S ( 1 + r T – g T)

F = $1200 ( 1 + .04 - .00125 )

= $1246.50

The forward formula indicates that the $1300 contract is too expensive

forward price = spot price + FV(costs) – FV(benefits)

Sell contracts that are expensive and buy contracts that are cheap when characterized by arbitrage pricing.

The forward formula indicates that the $1150 contract is too cheap

Futures

• Standardized, exchange traded ‘forward’ contracts

• Eliminates counterparty risk

• CME

The Five Pillars of Finance

10

Nobel Prize winner and former Univ. of Chicago professor, Merton Miller, published a paper called the “The History of Finance” Miller identified five “pillars on which the field of finance rests” These include

1. Miller-Modigliani Propositions• Merton Miller 1990 • Franco Modigliani 1985

2. Capital Asset Pricing Model• William Sharpe 1990

3. Efficient Market Hypothesis• Eugene Fama, Robert Shiller 2013

4. Modern Portfolio Theory• Harry Markowitz 1990

5. Options • Myron Scholes and Robert Merton 1997

Options vs Forwards

Forward• Long

– Obligation to buy and take delivery of an asset for $K at time T

• Short– Obligation to sell and

deliver an asset for $K at time T

Option• Call

– Long• Right to buy an asset at

price $K at time T – Short

• Obligation to sell an asset at price $K at time T

• Put– Long

• Right to sell an asset at price $K at time T

– Short• Obligation to buy an asset

at price $K at time T 13

Price of European Call Option

Price the call to create a portfolio that returns the risk free rate

Option Pricing1 Period Binomial Lattice Method

Cash flows at time T

Solve for h and B

Cash flows at time 0

Galitz uses the following future value factor instead

Option Pricing1 Period Binomial Lattice Method

‘Risk neutral’ probability of move upward

Present value of future expected cash flow discounted at risk free rate

Recommended calculation of a call option on pages 231 to 233 of handout from Financial Engineering by Lawrence Galitz.
