An Overview of Financial Futures

• Characteristics of Financial Futures (Cont.)
– The only matter left for negotiations is the price at which
the securities will be delivered
– This price is determined by bidding and offering that occurs
at the location (pit) of the exchange sponsoring the auction
– The auction process insures that all orders are exposed to
highest bid and lowest offer, guaranteeing execution at the
best possible price

corporation associated with the exchange acts as a
middleman in the transaction
• The clearing corporation satisfies the contractual agreement of the
long and short
• They reduce the credit risk exposure associated with future deliveries
• Longs and shorts do not have to worry that the other party will not
perform their contractual obligations

• Characteristics of Financial Futures (Cont.)
– Clearing Corporation (Cont.)
• Requires the short and long to place a deposit (Margin)
which is a performance bond for both the seller and buyer
• Requires that gains and losses be settled each day in the
mark-to-market operation
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-12

trades in futures market choose settlement by offset rather
than delivery
• Both parties make offsetting sales/purchases to cover the contract
• Permits hedgers, speculators, and arbitrageurs to make legitimate use
of the futures market without getting into technical details of making
or taking delivery of assets

An Overview of Financial Futures
(Cont.)
• Using Financial Futures Contracts
– Provides the opportunity to hedge legitimate commercial
activities
– Hedgers—buy and sell futures contracts to reduce their
exposure to the risk of future price movement
– Permits dealers to cover both the short and long position of a
contract
– Reduces risk since future prices move almost in lockstep with
the price of the underlying asset
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-14
An Overview of Financial Futures
(Cont.)
• Using Financial Futures Contracts (Cont.)
– Legitimate hedging use of the futures markets occurs with
a sale of a futures contract with a subsequent offset
purchase
– “Short hedgers” offset inventory risk by selling futures while
“long hedgers” offset anticipated purchases of securities by
buying futures
– Speculators
• Purposely take on risk of price movement
• Expect to make a profit on the risky transaction

An Overview of Financial Futures
(Cont.)
• Pricing Financial Futures Contracts
– Buying and selling activities of hedgers and
speculators together determine the price of a futures
contract
– There is a definite relationship between the price of a
futures contract and the price of the underlying asset

An Overview of Financial Futures
(Cont.)
• Pricing Financial Futures Contracts (Cont.)
– Arbitrageurs
• Determine the relationship between the price in the “cash
market” and the price in the futures market
• During the delivery period of a futures contract, the rights
and obligations of the contract force the price of the
futures contract and the price of the underlying security to
be identical
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-17
An Overview of Financial Futures
(Cont.)
• Pricing Financial Futures Contracts (Cont.)
– Arbitrageurs (Cont.)
• If the arbitrageur senses the price relationship between the futures
contract and the underlying asset is not correct, take actions in the
market (buy or sell) to make a profit which forces the prices into
proper relationship
• The activities of arbitrageurs cause the prices to converge on the
delivery date or be in proper alignment during periods prior to
final delivery date

longer history in financial markets than futures

An Overview of Options Contracts
(Cont.)
• Using and Valuing Options
– Investors who buy options (puts or calls) have rights,
but no obligations
– Therefore, option buyers will do whatever is in their
best interest on expiration date
– On expiration date, payoff on expiration of a long
call position is either zero (price below exercise
price) or stock price minus exercise price (intrinsic
value) (price above the exercise price)
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-26
An Overview of Options Contracts
(Cont.)
• Using and Valuing Options (Cont.)
– A long put position on expiration date has a value
of zero if price is above the exercise price or a value
equal to the exercise price minus the stock price if
price is below the exercise price
– Option Premium—The asymmetry payoff has the
characteristic of insurance which is why the
premium is charged on the transaction

An Overview of Swaps
• Compared to other financial instruments, Swaps
are relatively new having been introduced in
1981 to help firms reduce interest rate risks
• Two broad varieties—Interest rate swaps and
currency swaps
• Swaps are contractual agreement between two
parties (counterparties) and customized to meet
the requirements of both parties
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-30
An Overview of Swaps (Cont.)
• Interest rate swap
(Refer to Figure 9.1)
– One party (fixed-rate payer) agrees to pay the other
party a fixed interest amount each specified period
over the life of the contract
– The other party (floating-rate payer) agrees to pay
the first party, each specified period, an interest
amount based on some reference rate

six months for the duration of the swap.

An Overview of Swaps (Cont.)
• Interest rate swap (Cont.)
– Therefore, the fixed-rate payer always pays the
same amount while payments by the floating-rate
payer varies according to the reference rate
– The dollar amount of the payments is determined by
multiplying the interest rate by an agreed-upon
principal (notional principal amount)
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-33
An Overview of Swaps (Cont.)
• What determines the rates paid by both parties
– Shape of the yield curve—expected rates in the
future
– Risk of default—possibility that counterparties
might default on scheduled interest payments
• Financial institutions facilitate swaps
– Bring the counterparties together
– Impose their own credit between the counterparties
12
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-34
An Overview of Swaps (Cont.)
• Why Swap?
– Financial institution earns a fee for arranging the
swap
– Counterparties reduce their risk exposure
– Able to undo maturity mismatches in the balance
sheets of the counterparties
– However, swaps can generate losses when one of the
counterparties is really a speculator rather than
trying to hedge to cover risk
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-35
An Overview of Swaps (Cont.)
• Valuing a Swap
– Contracts are traded in over-the-counter market
– It is possible for one of the counterparties to sell their
obligation to another party
– Changing market conditions may cause one party to sell
obligation
– The third party will purchase the swap if it is to their
advantage
– Therefore, swaps produce gains or losses which will ultimate
impact the value of the swap
