Forwards vs Futures: An example

Share price of XYZ Ltd = $100 per share

• Both Bank A and Bank B believe the price will increase over the next year

• Bank A elects to buy a 1 year forward contract from another bank• Bank A elects to buy a 1 year forward contract from another bank

• Bank B elects to buy a 1 year futures contract on the derivatives exchange

Forwards vs Futures: An example (cont’d)

In one year’s time

Share price of XYZ Ltd = $200 per share

• Bank A obliged to buy shares @ $100 =

• Bank A net + $100• Bank A net + $100

• Bank B obliged to buy shares @ $200 & receives $100 from margin account

• Bank B net + $100

Both banks net the same amount although the cash flows are slightly different

Forward Valuation

Forward Price = Spot Price + (Carry Cost – Benefit)

• Basis• Basis

• Spot vs Forward Arbitrage

Spot vs Forward

Forward Trading Example 1

Forward Price = $105 (ie too high)

• Borrow $100 from bank & buy shares now• Sell forward @ $105

• Deliver shares & receive $105$• Receive $2 dividends (total receivables $107)• Repay the bank your original $100 plus rate @ 5% = $105• Therefore total = + $107 - $105 = + $2

Forward Trading Example 2

Forward Price = $101 (ie too low)

• Borrow the shares from the stock-borrow market & sell them for $100• Invest $100 in bank• Buy forward @ $101• Buy forward @ $101

• Receive shares & pay $101• Give back these shares to lender & pay $2 dividends (total payments $103)• Withdraw your original $100 from bank plus interest @ 5% = $105

• Therefore total = - $103 + $105 = + $2

Forward Price Distribution Graph

• Forward Price distributionchart assumes that the forwardprice will not move outside the£200-£400 range£200 £400 range

• Forward Price Distribution iscentred around its mean

Part 5: Equity Swaps & Dividend Swaps

Equity Swaps: the basics

• Swaps

• Equity Leg vs Interest Leg

Equity Swaps: Equity Return

Notional x (Final – Initial / Initial)

Where:Where:Notional = Agreed size of tradeFinal = Price of the underlying on valuation dateInitial = Price of the underlying on start date

• Share Swap = No of Shares x (Final – Initial)p ( )

• Equity Leg vs Forward

Equity Swaps: Interest Return

Notional x Interest Rate x Day Count Fraction

Where:Where:Notional = Agreed size of tradeInterest Rate = Floating Rate or Fixed RateFloating Rate Rate for period +/ spreadFloating Rate = Rate for period +/- spreadFixed Rate = A predetermined rate for all periodsDay Count Fraction = Fraction used for rate (ie Act / 360)

Equity Swaps: Price Return vs Total Return

• Standard Defaults: Index & Share Swaps

Equity Swaps: Price Return Swap Cashflows

Equity Swaps: Total Return Swap Cashflows

Equity Swap Periods: Bullet Swap

Equity Swap Periods: Resetting Swap

Equity Swaps: Applications

• Avoid transaction costs (including tax)

• Avoid locally based dividend taxes

• Avoid limitations on leverage

• To get around rules governing the particular type of investment that aninstitution can hold

• Banks make money on commissions interest rate spreads & dividend• Banks make money on commissions, interest rate spreads & dividendspreads (risk-neutral position)
