    Risk Reduction

    Why risk reduction does not add value

    1. Hedging is a zero sum game--A corporation thatinsures or hedges a risk does not eliminate it. It simply passes the risk to someone

    else.

    2. Investors do-it-yourself alternativeCorporations cannot increase the value of their shares by undertaking transactions that

    investors can easily do on their own.

    Insurance

    Most businesses face the possibility of ahazard that can bankrupt the company in an

    instant.

    These risks are neither financial or businessand can not be diversified.

    The cost and risk of a loss due to a hazard,

    however, can be shared by others who sharethe same risk.

    ? How can the cost of this hazard be shared

    Answer

    A large number of companies with similar risks can eachcontribute pay into a fund that is set aside to pay the

    cost should a member of this risk sharing groupexperience the 1 in 10,000 loss. The other 9,999 firmsmay not experience a loss, but also avoided the risk ofnot being compensated should a loss have occurred.

    Insurance

    The loss of an oil platform by a storm may be 1 in 10,000.The risk, however, is larger for an insurance companysince all the platforms in the same area may be insured,thus if a storm damages one in may damage all in the samearea. The result is a much larger risk to the insurer

    Catastrophe Bonds - (CAT Bonds) Allow insurers totransfer their risk to bond holders by selling bonds whosecash flow payments depend on the level of insurable losses

    NOT occurring.

    (A high-yield debt instrument that is usually insurance linked and meant to raise money incase of a catastrophe such as a hurricane or earthquake. It has a special condition thatstates that if the issuer (insurance or reinsurance company) suffers a loss from aparticular pre-defined catastrophe, then the issuer's obligation to pay interest and/orrepay the principal is either deferred or completely forgiven)

    Hedging with Forwards and Futures

    Ex - Kellogg produces cereal. A major component and costfactor is sugar.

    Forecasted income & sales volume is set by using a fixedselling price.

    Changes in cost can impact these forecasts.

    To fix your sugar costs, you would ideally like to purchase allyour sugar today, since you like todays price, and made yourforecasts based on it. But, you can not.

    You can, however, sign a contract to purchase sugar at

    various points in the future for a price negotiated today. This contract is called a Futures Contract.

    This technique of managing your sugar costs is calledHedging.

    Hedging with Forwards and Futures

    1- Spot Contract - A contract for immediate sale & delivery of

    an asset.

    2- Forward Contract - A contract between two people for the

    delivery of an asset at a negotiated price on a set date in the

    future.

    3- Futures Contract - A contract similar to a forward contract,

    except there is an intermediary that creates a standardized

    contract. Thus, the two parties do not have to negotiate the

    terms of the contract.

    The intermediary is the Commodity Clearing Corp (CCC). The

    CCC guarantees all trades & provides a secondary market

    for the speculation of Futures.

    Futures Contract Concepts

    Not an actual sale

    Always a winner & a loser (unlike stocks)

    K are settled every day. (Marked to Market)

    Hedge - K used to eliminate risk by locking in prices

    Speculation - K used to gambleMargin - not a sale - post partial amount

    Hog K = 30,000 lbs

    Tbill K = $1.0 mil

    Value line Index K = $index x 500

    LIBOR -An interest rate benchmark used to establish the floating interest rate that is paid on the notional principal in an

    interest-rate swap. LIBOR flat has no spread added to it and represents the best interest rate availablein the current market. It is the most common reference on which other interest rates are based.

    XYZ borrows $1mil @ 10% fixed

    ABC borrows $1mil @ 7.5% floating

    XYZ pays floating @ 7.25%

    ABC pays fixed @ 10.50%My interpretation-currently ABC 10.5 rate sa de rha h and ya XYZ ka rate h jo usa pa karna hota.Means XYZ ko benefit.

    And XYZ floating apna hi pay karaga.

    Other situation-ABC 11.5 ki jagaha 10.5 de rha h. TO usa benefit of 1%. And lose h usa .25% ka us par jo floating XYZ pay kar rha h.
