    Introduction to Derivatives
    Derivatives are the financial instruments which derive

    their value from the value of the underlying asset. The underlying asset can be equity, fixed income instruments, interest rates, foreign exchange or commodities. The price movements of derivative products are related to that of the underlying securities.

    Various types of Derivatives

    History of Derivatives

    became functional in 1848 and by 1865 futures contract in commodities started trading. In 1972 currency futures were introduced, followed by equity options in 1973. Year 1975 saw introduction to Interest Rate futures. Currency Swaps were introduced in 1981 and in 1982 Index futures, Interest Rate swaps and Currency Options were started. In 1983, Index Options and Options on futures were started.

    Forward Contracts
    Forward Contract is an OTC derivative product.

    It is a contract between two parties, which enables the

    buyer to lock a desired value of the underlying that will become applicable at some future date, now. There is no counterparty guarantee provided by any third party. Forward contracts unlike futures, are deliverable contracts (Though there are non-deliverable forward contracts also).

    Different Types of Forward Contracts


    Depending on the underlying asset, the most common types of forward contracts are:
    Currency Forwards Interest Rate Forwards, and Commodity Forwards

    Participants in Forward Contracts


    Hedgers They participate in the forward market with a

    view to protect or cover an existing exposure in the spot market. Speculators These dealers based on their opinion about the market movements take an exposure in the forward market with a view to make profits from the expected movement in the underlying element. Arbitrageurs These players neither hedge nor speculate. They try to take advantage of the price differences in the spot and forward markets.

    Call Option : an option which gives a right to buy the

    underlying asset at a strike price.

    Put Option : an option which gives a right to sell the

    A Call option buyer basically is bullish about the underlying stock.

    Put Option buying


    A buyer of put option is bearish on underlying stock.

    Both the Call and Put option buyers are buying the

    rights, that is they are transferring their risks to the sellers of the option. For this transfer of risk to the sellers, buyers have to compensate by paying Option Premium. Option premium is also known as Price of the option, Cost or Value of the option.

    Option Selling: Motives for selling options


    The seller is ready to assume the risk in option exercise. The incentives for the seller to assume that risk are two :
    Option Premium This is the actual amount received by him for

    selling an option to the buyer. The possibility of non-exercise of option In sellers view the possibility of option being exercised by the buyer may be low.

    Factors influencing Option Pricing


    Time to expiration greater the time to expiration,

    higher the value of the options.


    Volatility higher the volatility, higher the value of the

    options.
    Risk free Rate of Interest If interest rate goes up, calls

    gain in value while puts lose value.
