ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Perseverance, inspiration and motivation have always played a key role in the success of any
venture, but one ingredient which is also very important than other and at times, more
important that other is corporation and guidance of experts and experienced person. A
successful and satisfactory completion of any research is the outcome of the invaluable
aggregate contribution of different persons fully in radical direction, explicitly or implicitly.
Whereas vast, varied and valuable reading efforts leads to substantial acquisition of knowledge
through books and allied informational sources. True expertise excludes from collateral
practical works and experiences.
Words have never seemed as inadequate as now, when we are endeavoring to express our
heartfelt gratitude at the culmination of the research, to all those made it possible. Even the
best effort is waste without proper guidance and advice. I highly solicit to Dr. Namita
Srivastava (Associate Professor) ICCMRT for her unreserved cooperation, encouragement

PREFACE
MBA is a stepping-stone to the management carrier and to develop good manager it is
necessary that the theoretical must be supplemented with exposure to the real environment.
Theoretical knowledge just provides the base and its not sufficient to produce a good manager
thats why practical knowledge is needed.
Therefore the research product is an essential requirement for the student of MBA. This
research project not only helps the student to utilize his skills properly learn field realities but
also provides a chance to the organization to find out talent among the budding managers in the
very beginning. In accordance with the requirement of MBA course I have prepare research
report on the topic Trends and future of Derivatives in India. The main objective of the
research study is to study the various trends that come in the way of Derivatives market and to
find out the future and market potential of derivative market in India.
For conducting the research project sample size of 60 customers, brokers, dealers and investors
were selected. The information regarding the project research was collected through the
questionnaire formed by me which was filled by customers, brokers, dealers and investors
there.
In my research report, I have studied various trends that come in the way of Derivatives
market. Because impression is usually given that losses arose from derivatives are extremely
complex and difficult to understand financial strategies. So after interviewing with different
brokers, investors and dealers, I have tried to give a solution to these complexities

INTRODUCTION TO THE STOCK EXCHANGE
A stock exchange is the place where securities, shares, debentures and bonds of joint stockcompanies, central & state govt., semi govt. organizations, local bodies and foreign govt. are
bought and sold. A stock exchange is the nerve center of capital market. Changes in the capital
market are brought about by a complex set of factors, all operating on the market
simultaneously. Such changes are subject to secular trends set by the economic progress of the
nation, and governed by the factors like general economic situation, financial and monetary
policies, tax changes, political environment, international economic and financial development
etc. A stock exchange provides necessary mobility to capital and directs the flow of capital into
profitable and successful enterprises.
The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act 1956 defines stock exchange as:
A body of individuals whether incorporated or not, constituted for the purpose of
assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling, & dealing in securities.
A stock exchange is a platform for the trade of already issued securities through
primary market. It is the essential pillar of the private sector and corporate economy. It is the
open auction market where buyers and sellers meet and involve a competitive price for the
securities.
It reflects hopes aspiration and fears of people regarding the performance of the economy. It
exerts a powerful and significant influence as a depressant or stimulant of business activity. So,
stock exchange mobilizes savings, canalizes them as securities into those enterprises which are
favored by the investors on the basis of such criteria as
- Future growth prospects.- Good returns.
- Appreciation of capital.

The stock exchange serves the role of barometer, not only of the state of health
of individual companies, but also of the nations economy as a whole (it measures of all the
pull and pressure of securities in the market). The trade in market is through the authorized
members who have duly registered with concerned stock exchange and SEBI.
HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE
The trading of securities in India was started in early 1973. The only stock exchange operating
in the 19th century were those of Bombay set up in 1875 and in Ahemdabad set up in 1894.
These were organized as voluntary non-profit making associations of brokers to regulate and
protect their interests. Before the control on securities trading became a central subject under
the constitution in 1950. It was a state subject and Bombay securities contract (control) act of
1925 used to regulate trading in securities. Under this act, Bombay stock exchange was
recognized in 1927 and Ahemdabad stock exchange were organized at Bombay, Ahemdabad
and other centers but they were not recognized soon after it became a central subject, central
legislation was proposed and a committee headed by sh. A.D.GORWALA went into bill for
security regulation. On the basis securities contract act became law in 1956.
At present there were 23 recognized stock exchanges in India. From these
BSE & NSE are the two major stock exchanges and rest 21 are the regional stock
exchanges. Daily turnover of all the stock exchange is app. 20,000cr. BSE is 129 years old.
NSE is 11 years old and it brought the screen based trading system in India

FEATURES OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
It is a place where listed securities are bought and sold.
It is an association of persons known as members.
Trading in securities is allowed under rules and regulations of stock exchange.
Membership is must for transacting business.
Investors and speculators, who want to buy and sell securities, can do so through
members of stock exchange i.e. brokers.
There are mainly three participants in stock exchange i.e.
Issuer of security (company).
Investor of security (Individual, HUF).
Intermediaries and products (broker, merchant bankers and shares, bonds,
warrants, derivatives products etc.).
It is the market as well as source for the capital. Corporate and govt. raise resource
from the market.
FUTURE PLANS OF STOCK EXCHANGE
The current market scenario in the capital market is not very encouraging, however, in the
future; the business model of Indian Stock Exchange would be the most preferred method of
accessing multiple markets with low cost and high credibility of an Exchange. Indian Stock
Exchange is considering several value added services or new products which may help ISE and
ISS in fulfilling the demands of low cost users. We are considering derivative segment through
NSE and DP services initially for the participants and later for clients through CDSL and
NSDL. This futuristic concept of consolidation being pursued by ISE is now being also
explored by the Developed Countries. We think such consolidation enables optimal utilization
of existing resources, enhanced due to economies of scale and permit product innovation, a

sign o any dynamic market. On account of this philosophy we are proposing to implement
most of the new products centrally on ISE, like, Internet trading, IPO segment, Distribution of
mutual funds units, Information dissemination, etc. We are also planning to provide trading
support to the commodities Exchanges and also consider providing hem entry into the
securities industries. The creation of a national market has provided the brokers of the RSEsand individual investors in the regions and opportunity approach the liquid national level
market. This market is expected to provide liquidity in small capital companies as the other
National Level markets have a higher entry norm and may not cater to this market.
FUNCTIONS OF STOCK EXCHANGE
Stock Exchange Performs The Following Functions:
The stock exchange provides appropriate conditions where by purchase and sale of
securities takes place at reasonable and fair prices.
People having surplus funds invest in the securities and these funds used for
industrialization and economic development of country that leads to capital
formation.
The stock exchange provides a ready market for the conversion of existing securities
into cash and vice-versa.
The stock exchange acts as the center of providing business information relating to
enterprise whose securities are traded as the listed companies are to present their
financial and other statements to it.
Stock exchange protects the interest of the investors through strict enforcement of
rules and regulations with respect to dealings. Punishments (including fine, suspension
or even expulsion of membership) may be there if broker make any malpractice in
dealing with investors like charging high commissions etc.
Stock exchange acts as the barometer of the country as it measures all the pulls and
pressures of the securities in the market.
The stock exchange provides the linkage between the savings in the household
sector and the investment in corporate economy.

INTRODUCTION OF DERIVATIVES
Primary market is used for raising money and secondary market is used for trading in the
securities, which have been used in primary market. But derivative market is quite different
from other markets as the market is used for minimizing risk arising from underlying assets.
The word "derivative" originates from mathematics. It refers to a variable,
which has been derived from another variable.
i.e. X = f (Y)
WHERE X (dependent variable) = DERIVATIVE PRODUCT
Y (independent variable) = UNDERLYING ASSET
A financial derivative is a product that derives value from the market of another
product. Hence derivative market has no independent existence without an underlying asset.
The price of the derivative instrument is contingent on the value of underlying assets.
As a tool of risk management we can define it as, "a financial contract whose
value is derived from the value of an underlying asset/derivative security". All derivatives are
based on some cash product. The underlying assets can be:
a. Any type of agriculture product of grain (not prevailing in India)
7/27/2019 report on fci

b. Price of precious and metals gold
c. Foreign exchange rates
d. Short term as well as long-term bond of securities of different type issued by govt.
and companies etc.
e. O.T.C. money instruments for example loan & deposits.
Example: Wheat farmers may wish to sell their harvest at a future date to eliminate the risk of
change in price by that date. The price of these derivatives is driven from spot price of wheat.
DEFINITION OF DERIVATIVE-
In the Indian context the Securities contracts (Regulation), Act 1956 defines "Derivative" to
include:
(1) A security derived from a debt instrument, Share, Loan whether secured or unsecured,
Risk instrument or contract for difference or any other form of security.
A contract, which derives its value from the prices of underlying securities.
HISTORICAL ASPECT OF DERIVATIVES:
The need for derivatives as hedging tool was first felt in the commodities market.
Agricultural FUTURE & OPTIONS helped farmers and PROCESSORS hedge againstcommodity price risk. After the fallout of BRITAIN WOOD AGREEMENT, the financial
markets in the world started undergoing radical changes, which give rise to the risk factor. This
situation led to development of derivatives as effective "Risk Management tools".
Derivative trading in financial market started in 1972 when "Chicago Mercantile
Exchange opened its International Monetary Market Division (IIM). The IMM provided an
outlet for currency speculators and for those looking to reduce their currency risks. Trading
took place on currency. Futures, which were contracts for specified quantities of given
currencies, the exchange rate was fixed at time of contract later on commodity future contracts
was introduced then followed by interest rate futures.
Looking at the liquidity market, derivatives allow corporate and institutional investors
to effectively manage their portfolios of assets and liabilities through instruments like stock
index futures and options. An equity fund e.g. can reduce its exposure to the stock market and
7/27/2019 report on fci
15/93
2
at a relatively low cost without selling of part of its equity assets by using stock index futures
or index options. Therefore the stock index futures first emerged in U.S.A. in 1982.
PRODUCTS, PARTICIPANTS AND FUNCTIONS-
Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common are FORWADS,
FUTURES, and OPTIONS AND SWAPS.
The following three categories of Participants-Hedgers, Speculators, and Arbitrageurs.
(1) HEDGER:-
Hedgers face risk associated with the price of an asset. They use futures or
options markets to reduce the risk. Thus, they are operation who wants to eliminate the risk
composing of their portfolio.
(2) SPECULATORS: -
They wish to be on future movements in the price of an asset. A
speculator may buy securities in anticipation of rise in price. If this expectation comes true
he sells the securities at a higher price and makes a profit. Usually the speculator does not
take delivery of securities sold by him. He only receives and pays the difference between
the purchase and sale prices.
(3) ARBITRAGEURS: -
They are in business to take advantage of discrepancy between prices in
two different markets. If for example, they see the future price of an asset getting out of
line with the cash price, they will take off setting positions in two markets to lock in profit.
TYPES OF DERIVATIVES
7/27/2019 report on fci
16/93
2
The most commonly used derivative contract is forwards, futures and options:
(1) FORWARDS:-
A forward contract is a customized contract between two
entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date in the futures at today's pre-
agreed price.
(2) FUTURES:-Afuture contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or
sell an asset at a certain time the future at the certain price. Futures contracts are the
special types of forward contracts in the sense that are standardized exchange traded
contracts.
(3) OPTIONS:-
It is of two types: call and put options.
Underlying asset, at a given price on or before a given future date. PUTS give the
buyer the right but not the obligation to sell a given quantity of the underlying asset
at a given price on or before a givendate.
(4) LEAPS:
Normally option contracts are for a period of 1 to 12 months. However,
exchange may introduce option contracts with a maturity period of 2-3 years. These
long-term option contracts are popularly known as Leaps or Long term Equity
Anticipation Securities.
(5) BASKETS:
Baskets options are option on portfolio of underlying asset. Equity Index
Options are most popular form of baskets.
(6) SWAPS: These are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash
flows in the future according to a prearrange formula. They can be regarded as
portfolios of forward's contracts. The two commonly used swaps are:
a) INTEREST RATE SWAPS:
7/27/2019 report on fci
17/93
2
These entail swapping both Principal and interest
between the parties, with the cash flow in one direction being in a different currency
than those in the opposite direction.
b) CURRENCY SWAPS:
These entail swapping both Principal and
interest between the parties, with the cash flow in one direction being in adifferent currency than those in the opposite direction.
Cash Vs Derivative MarketThe basis differences between these two may be noted as follows.
a) In cash market tangible asset are traded whereas in derivatives market contract based on
tangible assets or intangible like index or rates are traded.
b) The value of derivative contract is always based on and linked to the underlying asset.
Though, this linkage may not be on point-to point basis.
c) Cash market contracts are settled by delivery and payment or through an offsetting
contract. The derivative contracts on tangible may be settled through payment and
delivery, offsetting contract or cash settlement, whereas derivative contracts on
intangibles are necessarily settled in cash or through offsetting contracts.
d) The cash market always has a net long position, whereas the net position in derivative
market is always zero.
e) Cash asset may be meant for consumption or investment. Derivatives are used for
hedging, arbitration or speculation.
f) Derivative markets are highly leveraged and therefore could be much more risky.

THE DERIVATIVE MARKETS PERFORM A NUMBER OF
ECONOMIC FUNCTIONS:-
(1) Prices in organized derivative markets reflect the perception of market participants
about the future and lead the prices of underlying to perceived future level. The prices
of derivatives converge with the prices of the underlying at the expiration of the
derivative contract. Thus derivatives help in discovery of future as well current prices.
(2) The derivative market helps to transfer the risks from those who have them but may
like them those who have an appetite for them.
(3) Derivatives due to their inherent nature are linked to the underlying cash markets.
With the introduction of derivative, the underlying market, witness higher trading
volumes because of participation by more players who would not otherwise participate
for lack of an arrangement to transfer risk.
(4) Derivatives have a history of attracting many bright, creative, well-educated people
with an entrepreneurial attitude. They often energize others to create new business,
new products and new employment opportunities, the benefits of which are immense.
(5) Derivatives market helps increase savings and investments in the long run Transfer of
risk enables market participants to expand their volume of activities.
PARTICIPANTS IN DERIVATIVE MARKET
Exchange, trading members, clearing members.
Hedgers, arbitrageurs, speculators.
Clearing, clearing bank.
Financial institutions.
Stock lenders and borrowers.

OBJECTIVES OF DERIVATE TRADING
(1) HEDGING:
You own a stock and you are confident about the prospects of the
company. However at the same time you feel that overall market may not perform as goodand therefore price of your stock may also fall in line with overall marked trend.
You expect that some adverse economic or political event might affect the
market sentiments, though fundamentals of the company will remain good, therefore, it is good
to retain the stock.
In both these situations you would like to insure your portfolio against any such market fall.
Such insurance is known as hedging.
Hedging is a tool to reduce the inherent risk in an investment. Various
strategies designed to reduce investment risk using call option, put options, short selling, and
futures are used for hedging. The basic purpose of a hedge is to reduce the risk of loss.
(2) ARBITRAGE:
The future price of an underlying asset is function of spot price and cost of carry adjusted for
any return on investment. However, due to uncertainty about interest rates, distortions in spot
prices, or uncertainty about future income stream, prices in futures market may not truly reflectthe expected spot price in future. This imbalance in future and spot price gives rise to arbitrage
opportunities. Transactions made to take advantage of temporary distortions in the market are
known as arbitrage transactions.
(3) SPECULATION:
You may have very strong opinion about the future market price of a particular asset based on
past trends, current information and future expectation. Likewise you may also have an opinion
about the overall market trend. To take advantage of such opinion, individual asset or the entire
market (index) could be sold or purchased.
Position taken either in cash market of derivative market on the basis of
personal opinion is known as speculation.

DERIVATIVE TERMINOLOGY
ASSIGNMENT:
It means allocation of an option contract, which is exercised, to a short
position in the same opinion contract, at the same strike price, for fulfillment of the obligation,
in accordance with the procedure specified in by the relevant authority from time to time.
BADLA:
It is an indigenous mechanism of postponing the settlement of trade. This product
is peculiar to India markets. This involves Badla financiers, stock lenders and stock traders.
The long buyers and short sellers may postpone settlement of their trade by making payments
and giving delivery by using the services of Badla financiers and stock lenders who assume
their positions for Badla charges. Counterparty risk, unpredictable charges and high risk due to
inadequate margining are inherent limitations of Badla.
BASIS:
It is difference between spot price and future price of the same asset. In normal
markets this basis is always negative, i.e. spot price is always less than future price. A positive
basis provides for arbitrage opportunity.
BETA
It is a measure of the sensitivity of returns on scrip to return on the market index. It
shows how the price of scrip would move with every percentage point change in the market
index.
CONTRACT VALUE- It is the value arrived at by multiplying the strike price of the
option contract with the regular/market lot size.
EXERCISE:
7/27/2019 report on fci
21/93
2
It is defined as the number of future or option contracts required be buying or
selling per unit of the spot underlying position to completely hedge against the market risk of
the underlying.
MARGIN:
It is the money collected from parties to trade to insure against the default risk.
Some amount of margins is collected upfront and some are collected shortly after the trade.
Failure to pay margins may result in mandatory closure of position.
OFFSETTING CONTRACT:
New matching contract, which offsets an existing contract, is known as
offsetting contract.
OPTION PREMIUM:
It is consideration paid by the option buyer to option writer. The
premium has two components intrinsic value and time value. Intrinsic value is the difference
between the spot price of the underlying and exercise price of the contract. Time value
represents the cost of carrying the underlying for the option period, adjusted for any dividend
and option premium.
RISK TRANSFER:
It refers to hedging against the price risk through futures. The holder
of an asset, which he intender to sell in near future, may transfer the inherent risk by selling
futures today. The counterparty assumes the risk in anticipation of making gain
REASON FOR STARTING DERIVATIVES
7/27/2019 report on fci
22/93
2
1. Counter party risk on the part of broker, in case it asks money from us but before giving
delivery of shares goes bankrupt.
2. Liquidity risk in the form that the particular scrip might not be traded on exchange.
3. Unsystematic risk in the form that the price of scrip may go up or down due to Company
Specific Reasons.
4. Mutual funds may find it difficult to invest the funds raised by them properly as the scrip in
which they want to invert might not be available at the right price.
6. Systematic risk in the form that the price of scrip may go up or down due to reason
affecting the sentiment of whole market.
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SETTING UP FUTURE AND OPTION
TRADING IS OUTLINED BELOW:-
1. Creation of an Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) as the single guarantor of every
traded option. In case of default by a party to a contract, the clearing house has to bear
the cost necessary to carry out the contract.
2. Creation of a strong cash market (secondary market). This is because after the exercise
of an option contract, the investors move to the secondary market to book profits.
3. Creation of paper-less trading and a book-entry transfer system.
4. Careful selection of the securities may be listed on a National securities exchange, have
a wider capital base, be actively traded, and so on.
5. Uniformity of rules and regulation in all the stock exchanges.
6. Standardization of the terms governing the options contracts. This would decrease the
transaction costs, for a given underlying security, all contracts on the options exchange
should have an expiry date, a strike price, and a contract price, only the premium
should be negotiated on the floor of the exchange.
7. Large, financially sound institutions, members and a number of market makers, who
can write the options contracts. Strict capital adequacy norms to be laid out and
followed.

STRENGTH OF INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET FOR
INTRODUCTION OF DERIVATIVES
1. LARGE MARKET CAPITALIZATION:
India is one of the largest market capitalized country in Asia with amarket capitalization of more than 7,65,000 corers.
2. HIGH LIQUIDITY:
In the underlying securities the daily average traded volume in Indian
capital market today is around 7,500 crores. Which means on an average every month 14%
of the country market capitalization gets traded, shows high liquidity.
3. TRADER GUARANTEE:
The first "clearing corporation" (CCL) guaranteeing trades has
become fully functional from July 1996 in the form of NATIONAL SECURITIES
CLEARING CORPORATION Ltd. for which it does the clearing.
4. STRONG DEPOSITORY:
A strong depository National Securities Depositories Ltd.(NSDL), which
started functioning in the year 1997, has strengthen the securities settlement in our country.
5. A GOOD LEGAL GUARDIAN:SEBI is acting as a good legal guardian for Indian Capital market.
IMPORTANCE OF DERIVATIVE TRADING
7/27/2019 report on fci

1. Reduction of borrowing cost.
2. Enhancing the yield on assets.
3. Modifying the payment structure of assets to correspond to investor market view.
4. No physical delivery of share certificate so reduction in cost by stamp duty.
5. Increase in hedger, speculator and arbitrageurs.6. It does not totally eliminate speculation, which is basic need of Indian investors.

FORWARD CONTRACT:-
7/27/2019 report on fci

"It is an agreement to buy/sell an asset on a certain future date at an agreed price".
The two parties are:
Who takes a long position agreeing to buy
Who takes a short positionagreeing to sell
The mutually agreed price is known as "delivery price" or "forward price". The
delivery price is chosen in such a way that the value of contract for both parties is zero at the
time of entering the contract, but the contract takes a positive or negative value for parties as
the price of underlying asset moves. It removes the future price risk. If a speculator has
information or analysis, which forecast an upturn in price, and then be can go long on the
forward market instead of cash market.
The speculator would go long on the forward, wait for the price to rise, and then
take a reversing transaction to book profits. Speculator may well be required to deposit amargin upfront. However, this is generally a relatively small proportion of the value of assets
underlying the forward contract.
EFFECT OF CHANGE IN PRICE:
As mentioned above the value of such a contract in zero for both the parties.
But later as the price & the underlying asset changes, it gives positive or negative value for
contract.

A agrees to deliver 100 equity shares of Reliance to B on Sept. 30, 2002 at a Rate of
Rs. 120 per share. Now if the price of share on that date is Rs. 140 per share, than a who has
short position would stand to loss of Rs. (20*200) = 4000, long position would gain the same
amount or vise versa if price quoted is less than delivery price.
Profit/Loss = ST-E
ST = spot price on maturity dateE = delivery price
LIMITATIONS OF FORWARD CONTRACT:-
1. No standardization.
2. One party can breach its obligation.
3. Lack of centralization of trading.
4. Lack of liquidity.
To overcome this other type of derivation instrument known as "Future Contracts"
were introduced.
VALUATION OF FORWARD CONTRACT-
The forward contract can be put under three categories for the purpose & valuation:
VALUATION OF THOSE SECURITIES PROVIDING NO INCOME-
Shares, which neither expects to do not pay any, dividend in future nor having arbitrage
opportunities.
E.g. Here Price (F) = S0ert
Where F = Future Price
S0 = spot price of asset
R = risk free rate of interest p.a. with continuous compounding
T = time of maturity.
If F>S0ert
7/27/2019 report on fci
27/93
2
In this case the investor will buy asset and take a short position in the forward contract.
"Short position is not position of investor is of seller means contract sold is greater then
contract bought".
Investor may buy the assets, borrowing an amount equal to * * for "t" period at risk free rate.At the time of maturity, the assets will be delivered for price F and repayment will be equal to
S0ert and there is net profit equal to F- S0e
rt
If F< S0ert
He will long his position in forward contract. When contract matures: the assets
would be purchased for "F" Here profit is S0ert F
E.g.
Consider a forward contract were non-dividend shares available at Rs, 70 mature in 3
months, Risk free rate 8% p.a. compounded continuously.
S0ert = 70 x [e] 0.25x0.08
= 70 x 0202
= Rs. 71.41
If F = 73
Then an arbitrageur will short a contract, borrow an amount of Rs. 70 & buy share at Rs,
Repay the loan of Rs. 70. At maturity sell it as Rs. 73 (forward contract price) and 71.40, thus
profit is (73- 71.40) 1.60
Thus he shorts his forward contract position.

SECURITIES PROVIDING A CERTAIN CASH INCOME-
If there is certain cash income to be generated on securities in future to the investor, we will
determine present value of income e.g. in case of preference share.
Present Value of Dividend = Rate & Interest (continuously compounded)
~If there is no arbitrage
Then F = (So I) ert
~If F> (So I)ert
Arbitrageur can short a forward contract, borrow money and buy the asset at present
and at maturity asset is sold and earns profit.
Profit = F (So I) ert
If

VALUATION & FORWARD CONTRACT PROVIDING A KNOWN
YIELD:-
In case of share included in portfolio companies the index, as
underlying assets, are expected to give dividend in course of time, which may be percentage 0
their prices. It is assumed to be paid continuously at a rate of "Y" p.a.
F = Soert
E.g.
Stock underlying an under provide a, dividend yield of 4.1% p.a., current value of
index is 520 and risk free rate of interest is 10% p.a.
r=0.10, y = 0.04, * * = 520 T =3/12 =0.25
F = 520xe(0.10-0.40) (0.25)
= 520x01512 = Rs. 527.85
FUTURE CONTRACT
'It is an agreement between buyer and seller for the purchase and sale of a particular assets at a
specific future date; specific size, date of delivery, place and alternative asset. It takes
obligation on both parties to fulfill the contract.
FEATURES OF FUTURE CONTRACT:-
1. Standardized contracts e.g. contract size.
2. Between two parties who do not necessarily know each other.
3. Guarantee for performance by a clearing corporation or clearing house. Clearinghouse
is associated with matching, processing, registering, confirming setting, reconciling and
guaranteeing the trades on the future exchanges. Clearinghouse tries to eliminate risk of
default by either party.
4. It has some features of Badla also.

FUTURE 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 the contract trades. The index futures contracts on
the NSE have one month, and three-month expiry Cycles, which expires on the last Thursday
of the month? Thus a January expiration contract expires on the last Thursday of the January.On the Friday following the last Thursday, a new contract having three-month expiry is
introduced of trading.
EXPIRY DATE:
It is 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 less than one contract. Forinstance, the contract size on NSE's futures market is Nifties.
BASIS:
In the contract 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 relation between futures price and spot price can be summarized in
terms of what is known as cost of carry. This measures the storage cost plus the interest that is
paid to finance the assets less the incomes earned on the asset.
7/27/2019 report on fci

2
INITIAL MARGIN:
The amount that must be deposited in the margin account at a time a
future contract is first entered into is known as initial margin.
MARKING-TO-MARKET:
In the futures market, at the end of each trading day, the margin
account is adjusted to reflect the investor's margin gain or loss depending upon the future's
closing price.
MAINTENANCE MARGIN:
This is somewhat lower than initial margin. This is set to ensure that
the balance in the margin account never becomes negative. If the balance amount 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.
INSTRUMENTS OF FUTURE CONTRACTS
COMMODITY FUTURES-
1. Trader in American Exchanges like CBOT, New York: Commodity Exchange,
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CLEARING MEMBERSE), New York Mercantile
Exchange Includes: Wheat, Natural Gas, Platinum, Gold, and Cattle etc.
2. Contract Life: Mostly for 90 days or less.
3. Maturity date is mostly non-standardized.
4. Quality specified
7/27/2019 report on fci

FINANCIAL FUTURES
1. Introduced by IMM (a division of CLEARING MEMBERSE) It Includes: 10 or 5 year
treasury notes (in 1976 by I:M:M), S & P 5000, Nikkie 225, Euro Dollars, British
Pound, Canadian Dollars, Mini Value line Stock Index,
Russell 2000, Russell 3000, etc.
2. Mostly Longer time e.g. US Treasury Bond Futures are of even more than 2 years
3. Maturity date is standardized.
4. There cannot be any quality variations into these assets.
TYPE OF FUTURE CONTRACTS:
INDEX FUTURES & STOCK FUTURES
INDEX FUTURES:
Of the financial futures, Index future contracts are key contracts,
introduced in U.S. A, in 1982 by the "Commodity Futures Trading Commission" (CFTC) by
approving the Kansas Board proposal. Index Futures began trading in India in June 2000 of
Trade (KSBT)'s Futures derive its value from the underlying index-e.g. NSE's futures.
Contracts are based on "S & P CNX NIFTY"
At present it has become the most liquid contract in the country, the arbitrage between
the futures equity market is further expected to reduce impact cost. 80-90% of retail
participation is expected in India because.
1. Brokerage cost is lower.
2. Savings in cost is possible thorough reduced bid-ask spreads where stocks are trade in
package forms.
7/27/2019 report on fci
33/93

3. Impact cost will be much lower than dealing in individual scrip.
4. Institutional and large equity holders need portfolios hedging facility. Index derivatives
are more suited to them and more cost effective than in individual stocks. Pension funds
in the US are known-to use stock index futures for risk hedging purpose.
5. Stock Index is difficult to manipulate as compared to individual stock prices, more so inIndia, and the possibility of cornering is reduced.
6. Stock index, being an average is much less volatile than individual stock prices. This
implies lower capital adequacy and margin requirements.
7. Index derivatives are cash settled, and hence don't suffer from settlement delays and
problems related to bad delivery & forged certificates.
INDIVIDUAL STOCK FUTURES
The high level committee on capital market on 2001 decided to permit FII's to participate in
"Individual Stock Futures" trading e.g. in Reliance SEBI Frame guidelines for its trading stock
futures can be effectively used for hedging: speculation and arbitrage At present there are 31
scrips in which stock derivatives are trading. E.g. the Reliance stock traders at Rs. 1000 and the
two month futures trade at 1006. Assume that the minimum contract value is Rs. 1,00,000. He
buys 100 Individual stock futures for which he buys a margin of Rs. 20,000. 2 months later the
stock closes at Rs. 010. OR expiration date, he makes a profit of Rs. 400 on an investment of
Rs. 20,000 works out annual return of 12%.
VALUATION OF FUTURES CONTRACTS
It can be made possible on following basis:
1. Valuation of financial futures
2. Valuation of commodity futures
I. Carry type commodities
II. Non-Carry type commodities
7/27/2019 report on fci
34/93
2
VALUATION OF FINANCIAL FUTURES:
Valuation of financial futures is based on following assumptions1. The markets are perfect.
2. There is no transaction cost.
3. All the assets are infinitely divisible.
4. Bid-asks spreads do not exit so that it is assumed that only one price prevails.There is
no restriction on short selling. Also short selling gets to use the full proceeds of the
sales valuations. This includes stock index futures.
The value of futures contract on a stock index may be obtained by using the
"cost of carry model".
In this case Price of the contract is = spot price+ Carry cost-carry returns i.e. (s + C R)
Here: SPOT PRICE:Current Price of One Unit of Deliverable asset in the Market.
CARRY COST: Holding cost i.e. interest Charges etc. + opportunity cost of using
funds.
CARRY RETURNS: Dividends etc.
Valuation of Stock Index futures is F = S0e(r-y) t

COMMODITY FUTURE'S VALUATION
1) CARRY TYPE OR INVESTRADING MEMBERSENT PURPOSE
COMMODITIES VALUATION-
These types of commodities are held by significant
number. Of investor for futures safety as investment alone.
~If storage cost is zero then F = Soert
~If any storage cost or opportunity cost then it is regarded as negative income. If S is the
present value.
of all the storage costs that may be incurred during the life of a future contract then F = (So +
s)ert
~If the storage cost were proportional to price of commodity then would be the same as in case
of
Providing a negative yield. If S represents the storage costs p.a. proportion of spot
prices, we have
F = Soe(r+s) t E.g. Let us consider a 6 months gold futures contract of 100 gm.
Assume that the spot price is Rs. 480 per gram and that it cost Rs. 3 per gram for the 6 monthly
period to store gold and that the cost is incurred at the end of the period. If the risk free rate of
Interest is 12% p.a. compounded continuously then R=0.12, s=480 x 100= 48000, e = 6/12 =
0.5
S=3 x 100 e-(0.12 x 0.5) = Rs. 282.53
Then F (48000 282.53)e-0.12 = Rs. 54,438.40
2) NON CARRY TYPE COMMODITITES:
Consumable goods like agricultural product's
futures price will not exceed the sum of spot price + Caring Cost-Caring Returns, in these
arbitrage arguments doesn't work investor stores these on because of its consumption value

only not for investment. Valuation of non-carry commodity futures requires another concept.
i.e. "Convenience return" or "Convenience yield", which is the returns (in terms of money) that
the investor realizes for carrying commodity over his short term needs. The financial assets
have no convenience return. This is different or different investor.
F= (So +s) e (r-c) t
S= P.V.C=convenience cost
So=Spot price
PAY OFF FOR FUTURES:
(a) Payoff for buyers of futures contract-long futures
Its payoff is same as payoff of a person who holds assets.
Result of holding an asset may be unlimited upside or unlimited downside.

OPTIONS
Options are fundamentally different from forward and futures. An option gives the
holder/buyers of the option the right to do something. The holder does not have committed
himself to doing something. In contrast, in a forward or futures contract, the two parties have
committed them self to doing something. Whereas it nothing (expect margin requirement) to
enter in to a futures he purchases of an option require an up front payment.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF OPTION:
Although options have exercised for a long time, they were traded OTD, without much
knowledge of valuation. Today exchange-traded options are actively traded on stocks, stock
indices, foreign currencies and futures contracts.
The first trading is options began in Europe and U.S. as early
as the century. It was only in early, 1900s that a group of firms set up what is known as the
"put and call brokers and dealers association" with the aim of providing a mechanism for
bringing buyers and sellers together. It someone wanted to buy an option, he or she would
contract one of the member firms. The firm would then attempt to find a seller or writer of
option either from its own client of those of other member firms. If no seller could be found,
the firm would undertake to write the option itself in return of price. The two deficiencies in
above markets were
1. No secondary market
2. No mechanism to guarantee the writer of option would honor it

In 1973, Black, Marton, Scholes invented the Black-Scholes
formula. In April 1973, CBOE was set up specially for the purpose of trading options. The
market for options develop so rapidly that by early 80's number of share underlying the options
contract sold each day exceed the daily volume of share traded on the NYSE. Since then, therehas been no looking back.
What is option?
An options is the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specified amount (and quality) of
a commodity, currency, index or financial instruments a to buy or sell a specified number of
underlying futures contracts, at a specified price on a before a give date in the future.
Thus, option like futures, also provide a mechanism by which one can
acquire a certain commodity on other assets, or take position in order to make profits or cover
risk for a price. In this type of contract as well, there are two parties:
(a) The buyer (or the holder, or owner of options)
(b) The seller (or writer of options)
While the buyer takes "long position" the seller take "short position"
So every option contract can either be "call option" or "put option" options
are created by selling and buying and for every option that is buyer and seller.

OPTION TERMINOLOGY
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 exercise his option 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 exercises on him.
Option price: option price is the price, which the option buyer pays to the option seller.
It is also referred as option premium.
Expiration date: the date specified in the options contract is known as expiration date,
the exercise date, the strike date or the maturity.
Strike price: the price specified in the options contract is knows as strike price or the
exercise price.
American options: these are the options that can be exercised at any time up to the
expiration date. Most exchange-traded options are Americans.
European options: these are the options that can be exercised only on the expiration
date itself. These are easier or analyze than American option, and properties of
American options are frequently deducted from those of its European counterpart.
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 will exercise immediately. A call option in the index is setto be in-the-money 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 set to deep I TRADING MEMBERS. In the case of a put, the put is
ITRADING MEMBERS if the index is below the strike price.
At-money option: (ATRADING MEMBERS) 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.
Out-of-the money option :( OTRADING MEMBERS) option is an option that would
lead to a negative cash flow it was exercised immediately. A call option on the index is
OTRADING MEMBERS when the current index stands at a level, which is less than
the strike price (spot price
7/27/2019 report on fci
43/93
2
the call is set to be deep OTRADING MEMBERS. In the case of a put, the put is
OTRADING MEMBERS if the index is above the strike price.
Intrinsic value of an option: the option premium can be broken into two components-
intrinsic values and time value. The intrinsic value of a call is the amount the option isITRADING MEMBERS, if it is ITRADING MEMBERS. If the call is OTRADING
MEMBERS, its intrinsic value is zero.
Time value of an option: it is a difference between its premium and its intrinsic value.
Both calls and puts have time value. An option that is OTRADING MEMBERS or
ATRADING MEMBERS has only time value. Usually the maximum time value exists
when the options is ATRADING MEMBERS. The longer the time to expiration, the
greater is an option's time value, all else equal. At expiration, an option should have no
time value.
TYPES OF OPTIONS
Thus the options are of two types: CALL OPTION AND PUT OPTION.
CALL OPTION:
It gives an owner the write to buy a specified quantity of the underlingassets at a predetermined price i.e. the exercise price, or the specific date i.e. is the date of
maturity.
EXAMPLE
Suppose it is January now and the investor buys a March option contract on
Reliance Industries (RIL) Share with an exercise price/strike price Rs. 210. With this he get a
right to buy share on a particular date in March, of course he is under no obligation.
Obviously, if at the expiry date the price in market (spot price on expiry
date) is above the exercise price he'll exercise his option and reverse is also true.
PUT OPTION:
It gives the holder the right to sell a specific quantity of underlying assets at an agreed
price on date of maturity he gets the right to sell.
7/27/2019 report on fci
44/93
2
EXAMPLE
If an investor buys a March Put Option on RIL shares with an
exercise price of Rs. 210 per share the investor get the right to sell 100 share @ 210 per share.The investor would naturally exercise his right if on maturity date price were below 210 and
stand to gain and vice-versa. Buying out options is buying insurance. To buy a put option on
Nifty is to buy insurance: which reimburses the full extent to which-Nifty drops below the
strike price of the put option. This is attractive to many people.
AMERICAN Vs EUROPEAN OPTION:-Its owner can exercise an American option at any time on or before the expiration date. A
European style option gives the owner the right to use the option only on expiration date and
not before.
OPTION PREMIUM:-
A glance at the rights and obligation of buyer and seller reveals that option contracts are
skewed. One way naturally wonders as to why the seller (writer) of an option would always be
obliged to sell/buy an asset whereas the other party gets the right? The answer is that writer of
an option receives, a consideration for
Undertaking the obligation. This is known as the price or premium to the
seller for the option.
The buyer pays the premium for the option to the seller whether he
exercise the option is not exercised, it becomes worthless and the premium becomes the profit
of the seller.
Premium/Price of an option = Intrinsic Value + Time Value

1- AT EXPIRATION
(a) Call option pricing at expiration:
If the price of the underlying asset were lower than the exercise
price on the expiration date, the call would expire unexercised. This is because no one would
like to buy an asset, which is available in the market at a lower price. If an out of money call
did actually sell for a certain price, the investor can make an arbitrage profit by selling it and
earning premium.The buyer is unlikely to exercise option, the allowing seller to
retain premium. In even of (irrational) exercise of such a call, writer can purchase asset as S 1
and give it at making a profit of (E+S1) + premium.
On the other hand, if the call happens to be in the money, it'll, be
worth its intrinsic value, equal to excess of asset price over the exercise price. If call price

Put option at expiration:
When at the expiration date the price of the underlying asset is
greater than exercised price, the put option will go unexercised. This is because there is no use
of using option to sell at E when If the option were exercised, it would have resulted in a profit
to seller of option of about (E-S1) + premium.

Before expiration, the options call and put are usually sold for at least intrinsic valued
(difference of E & S1).
(a) Call Option Pricing:
A call option will usually sell for at least its intrinsic value,
Minimum value of call is always is equal to its intrinsic value. Intrinsic value = S>E
To this would be added the time value, if any longer the time expiry, greater were time value.

DERIVATIVES TRADING IN INDIA
The first step towards introduction of derivatives trading in India was the promulgation
of the securities laws (amendment) ordinance, 1995 which withdrew the prohibition on options
in securities. The market for derivatives, however, did not take off, as there was no regulatory
framework to govern trading of derivatives.
SEBI set up a 24 members committee under the Chairmanship of Dr.
L.C. Gupta on 18th November, 96 to develop appropriate regulatory framework for derivatives
trading in India. The committee submitted its report on 17th March, 98 prescribing necessary
pre-conditions for introduction of derivatives trading in India. the committee recommended
that derivatives should be declared as 'securities' so that regulatory framework applicable to
trading of 'securities' could also govern trading of securities. SEBI also set up a group in June
1998 under the Chairmanship of Prof. J.R. Varma, to recommend measures for risk
containment in derivatives market in India. The report, which was submitted in October, 1998,
worked out the operational details of margining system, methodology for charging initial
margins, broker net worth, deposit requirement and real time monitoring requirements.
The SCRA was amended in Dec. 1999 to include derivatives within the
ambit of 'securities' and the regulatory framework was developed for governing derivatives
trading. The act also made it clear that derivative shall be legal and valid only it such contract
are traded on a recognized stock exchange, thus precluding OTC derivative.
The government also rescinded in March 2002, the three decade old notification, which
prohibited forward trading in securities.
Derivatives trading commenced in India in June 2000 after SEBI granted the
final approval to this effect in May 2000.
SEBI permitted the derivative segments of two stock exchanges. NSE and
BSE, and their clearing house/corporation to commence trading and settlement in approved
derivatives contracts. To begin with, SEBI approved trading in index futures contracts based on
S & P CNX Nifty and BSE-30 (Sensex) index. This was followed by approval, for trading in
options based on these two indexes and options on individual securities. The trading in index
options commenced in June 2001. Futures contracts on individual stocks were launched in

OPERATIONAL MECHANISM FOR DERIVATIVES
TRADING:-
1. REGISTRATION WITH BROKER:
The first step towards trading in the derivatives market is
selection of a proper broker with whom the investor would trade. Investors should
complete all the registration formalities with the broker before commencement of trading inthe derivatives market. The investor should also ensure to deal with a broker (member of
the exchange) who is a SEBI registered broker and possesses a SEBI registration
certificate.
2. CLIENT AGREEMENT:
The investor should sign the Client Agreement with the
broker before the broker can place any order on his behalf. The client agreement includes
provisions specified by SEBI and the derivatives segment.
3. UNIQUE CLIENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER:
After signing the client agreement, the investor gets a
unique identification number (ID). The broker would key this identification number in the
system at the time of placing the order on behalf of the investor. This ID is broker specific i.e.
if the investor chooses to deal with different brokers, he needs to sign the client agreement with
each one of them and resultantly, he would have different Ids.
4. RISK DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT:
7/27/2019 report on fci
54/93

As stipulated in the Bye-Laws provide his particulars to the
investor. The particulars would include his SEBI registration number, the name of the
employees who would be primarily responsible for the client's affairs, the precise nature of his
liability towards the client in respect of the business done on behalf of the investor. The broker
must also apprise the investor about the risk associated with the business in derivative trading
and the extent of his liability. This information forms part of the Risk Disclosure document,which the broker issues to the client. The investor should carefully read the risk disclosure
document and understand the risks involved in the derivatives trading before committing any
position in the market. The risk disclosure document has to be signed by the client and a copy
of the same is retained by the broker for his records.
5. FREE COPY OF RELEVANT REGULATION:
The client is also entitled to a free copy of the extracts of relevant provisions governing the
rights and obligations of clients, relevant manuals, notifications, circulars and any additions or
amendments etc. of the derivatives segment or of any regulatory authority to the extent it
governs the relationship between the broker and the client.
6. PLACING ORDER WITH THE BROKER:
The investor should place orders only after
understanding the monetary implications in the event of execution of the trade. After the trade
is executed, the investor can request for a copy of the trade confirmation slip generated on the
systems on execution of the trade. The investor should also obtain from the broker, a contract
note for the trade executed within 24 hours. The contract note should be time (order receipt and
order execution) and price stamped. Execution prices, brokerage and other charges, if any,
should be separately mentioned in the contract note. If desired, the investor may change an
order anytime before the same is executed on the exchange.
7. MARGINING SYSTEM IN DERIVATIVES:
The aim of margin money is to minimize the risk of default
by either counter-party. The payment of margin ensures that the risk is limited to the previous
day's price movement on each outstanding position. The different types of margins are:
A) INITIAL MARGIN:
7/27/2019 report on fci
55/93

The basic aim of initial margin is to cover the largest potential
loss in one day. Both buyer and seller have to deposit before the opening of the position in the
futures transaction. This margin is calculated by STANDARD PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS OF
RISK by considering the worst case scenario.
B) MARK TO MARKET MARGIN:
All daily losses must be met by depositing of further collateral-knownas variation margin, which is required by the close of business, the following day. Any profits
on the contract are credited to the client's variation margin account.
7. INVESTOR PROTECTION FUND:
The derivatives segment has established an "Investor
Protection Fund" which is independent of the cash segment to protect the interest of the
investors in the derivatives market.
8. ARBITRATION:
In case of any dispute between the members and the clients
arising out of the trading or in relation to trading/settlement, the party thereto shall resolve
such complaint, dispute by arbitrations procedure as defined in the rules and regulations
and Bye-Laws of the respective exchanges.

monitoring and margining is carried out on-line through Parallel Risk Management System
(PRISM). PRISM uses STANDARD PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS OF RISK (r) (Standard
Portfolio Analysis of Risk) system for the purpose of computation of on-line margins, based on
the parameters defined by SEBI.
