    HEDGING & RELATED RISK

    MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    2/97

    Factors affecting hedging

    Risk profile associated with cash position.

    Type of risk(all risk or downside risk) .

    Cost of hedging with different hedginginstruments.

    Effectiveness of different hedging instruments.

    Hedge ratio

    Hedge ratio is number of units of the hedginginstrument necessary to hedge one unit of cash

    position

    Naive Approach. Johnson s and Steins methodology.

    Johnson/Stein/Ederington (JSE) methodology.

    Dollar Value Basis Point (DV01) Model.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    4/97

    JOHNSON/STEIN APPROACH

    Goal was to minimize the variance of profitassociated with the combined cash and futures

    position.

    This is applied to traditional commodities.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    5/97

    JSE METHODOLOGY

    Regress the change in spot price against change infutures price.

    S = a + b * F + u

    where S = S(t) - S(t-1)F = F (t,T) F(t-1,T)

    u= error.

    b= slope, minimum variance hedge ratio.a= intercept term.

    ASSUMPTION

    Regression technique assumes that relationshipbetween regression variable (S) and explanatory

    variable (F) is stable

    Future price converges to spot price where basisvanishes at time of delivery.

    STORABLE COMMODITIES

    The basis is explained by Cost of Carrying.

    F(t,T) = S(t) * [1+r(t,T) + w(t,T) c(t,T)]

    where r(t,T) is interest rate.w(t,T) is storage cost.

    c(t,T) is convenience yield.

    As time converges t approaches expiry T . The cost of carry converges to zero, so basis must

    vanish.

    DV01 of cash & futures are continuously changingbut not necessarily at equal rates.

    Yield beta should be periodically re-estimated.

    It allows the financial institution to convert all it scash position to common bench mark.

    10/97

    15 year XYZ bond offering semi annual coupon priced to yield

    9.875%. The bond trader estimates it should yield only

    9.640%. So bond is under valued. The trader buys $10 million

    face value of bond. The trader identifies 7 year ABC bondoffering semi annual coupon to yield 8.25% he estimates it to

    yield 8.48%. Bond is over valued. The trader sells $10 million

    face value of the bond. The bonds are at par the proceeds from

    short sale of ABC bond are sufficient to pay for XYZ bond.

    Recent improvements in Hedging

    Theory

    Significant improvements in the works ofHKM.

    To understand the improvements:

    Calculate the hedge ratio using HKM in direct hedge

    HKMs extension to cross hedges

    Benefits from diversification by composite approach.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    13/97

    Direct hedge employs future contract, written on anunderlying asset delivered in the same market, while

    cross hedge is done in a different market.

    Example: Winter wheat

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    14/97

    Hedge Ratio in direct hedge

    Future price converges to spot price as futurescontract approaches expiry.

    F(t,T) = S(t).[1+r+w-c] ; r+w-c: cost of carry

    State the cost of carry as continuously compoundedrate (FV=PV.e^in)

    Take r+w-c = y and

    = length of time until contract expiry and stated as afraction of year.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    15/97

    F(t,T) = S(t).e^y

    S(t) = F(t,T).e^(-y)

    Take e^(-y) = h (hedge ratio) Thus, h is dependent on .

    To prove whether hedge ratio is estimatable.

    ln (S(t)/F(t,T)) = -y ln (S(t)/F(t,T)) = z + d + v ; (-y=z+d)

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    16/97

    2. Hedge Ratio in Cross Hedges

    Lets take subscript 1 for the underlyingcommodity on which a futures contract is

    written and subscript 2 on cash position

    commodity

    S1 = F1.e^(-y)

    S2 = a + b.S1 + u = a + b(F1.e^(-y)) + u

    S2 = a + [b.e^(-y)].F1 + u

    Hedge Ratio, h = b.e^(-y)

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    17/97

    3. Composite hedging

    Simple hedge: contains single hedging instrument

    Composite hedging: contains multiple hedginginstruments

    Portfolio consisting of a no. of securities is lessrisky.

    systematic

    unsystematic risk Unsystematic risk can be reduced by

    diversification.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    18/97

    To determine the risk-minimizing hedge ratio,take the optimal hedge ratio, f = b.e^(-y)

    The basis, B = S f.F

    The effectiveness of the hedge is found fromthe coefficient of determination:

    ^2

    =1

    (B

    Cost of hedging

    Speculator are as: Passive risk bearers andactive forecasters.

    Cost of hedging = f.(E[F(L,T)] F(t,T))

    Effective hedge: degree to which it reducesrisk. The most effective hedge is the best

    hedge

    Efficient hedge: Hedge, for any given cost,provides the greatest risk reduction.

    CORPORATERESTRUCTURING

    AND THE LBO

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    27/97

    Corporate restructuring and the

    LBO

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    28/97

    Corporate Restructuring

    The term corporate restructuringencompasses three distinct ,but related,

    groups of activities Expansion, Contraction,

    Ownership and control under its umbrella.

    It is the perception of value gains thatmotivates the corporate restructuring and it is

    the financial engineering which makes therestructuring possible.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    29/97

    Expansion includes :-

    Mergers- a)Horizontal merger

    b)Vertical merger

    c)Conglomerate merger

    Consolidations

    Acquisitions

    Joint ventures which result in an enlargementof a firm or its scope of operations

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    30/97

    Strategies employed in corporate

    acquisition

    Friendly takeover

    Hostile takeover

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    31/97

    Defenses against takeovers

    Target block repurchase with an

    accompanying Standstill agreement. Also

    called as Greenmail.

    Leveraged Recapitalizations(Recap).

    Poison puts.

    White knight through a managementled

    leverage buyout or Management

    buyout(MBO).

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    32/97

    Contraction results in a smaller firm ratherthan a larger one.

    Corporate contraction occurs as a result ofdisposition of assets(sell-offs) which include:-

    Spin offs- a) split-off

    b) split -up

    Divestitures

    Equity carve-out

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    33/97

    MERGERS

    Merger is of three types-:

    1) Horizontal Merger- For eg Daimler-Benz and

    Chrystler.2) Vertical Merger- For eg Apple with Intel

    3) Conglomerate Merger- For eg Bharti Airtel

    with Walmart.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    34/97

    ACQUISITIONS

    Acquisitions consist of two strategies namely-:

    Friendly Takeover-: for eg diachy- ranbaxy

    Hostile Takeover-: for eg take over of acompany called three par by hp.

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    35/97

    Contractions consist of the sell-offs which meansdisposition of assets.

    It can be classified into-:

    (i) Spin-off-: parent company transfers some of its assetsand liabilities to a new firm created for that purpose.

    (ii) Divestiture-: involves an out and out sale of assets forcash.

    (iii) Carve-out-:contraction between a spin-off and adivestiture.

    .

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    36/97

    Steps of having Ownership and Control are-:

    (i) Determining the terms of the members of

    the board.

    (ii) Issuing voting power to the members.

    (iii)Providing the members with sufficient

    power.

    The leveraged Buyout

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    38/97

    In 1980, publicly traded firms went private byemploying Leverage buyout or LBO

    The acquisition of another company using asignificant amount of borrowed money (bondsor loans) to meet the cost of acquisition

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    39/97

    Leveraged buyout can be successful if-

    1.its assets can be disposed of at a profit

    2.The acquires company has an healthy cashflow

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    40/97

    Tools for going private

    1. Junk bonds

    2. Private placements

    3. Bridge financing4. Merchant baking

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    41/97

    Junk bonds- high-risk, non-investment-grade bond with a low creditrating, usually BB or lower.

    Junk bonds typically offer interest rates 3-4% percentage pointshigher than safer government issues.

    Junk bonds have a issue ofRESET PROVISION

    Private Placements-The sale of securities to a relatively smallnumber of select investors as a way of raising capital

    Investors involved in private placements are usually large banks,mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds.

    Investors receives a higher return as registration costs are avoided

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    42/97

    Merchant Banking-is a new Endeavour for investmentbanks.

    The investment bank takes a portion of the target firmsequity on its own books.i.e. the investment bankbecomes a equity partner in the leveraged buyout

    Bridge Financing-is a method of financing, used tomaintain liquidity while waiting for an anticipated and

    reasonably expected inflow of cash

    These funds are usually supplied by the investmentbank underwriting the new issue. As payment, thecompany acquiring the bridge financing will give a

    number of stock at a discount of the issue price to theunderwriters

    For example-, when selling a house, the owner may notreceive the cash for 90 days, but has already purchaseda new home and must pay for it in 30 days. Bridgefinancing covers the 60 day gap in cash flows.

    Sources of value in a leveraged Buyout

    Creates efficiency-decision making efficiency

    Tax benefits

    Agency problems-ownership and controlbecome one and the same,reduces the agency

    costs

  • 8/8/2019 Financial Eng

    44/97

    Disadvantages of leveraged buyout

    1. Cause layoffs of the firms employees

    2. Damage debt markets

    3. Force management to focus on short termgoals, by reducing advertising and research

    budgets

    4. Results in bankruptcies of the firm
