In an effort to clarify the issues, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston sponsored an educational forum in which the risks and risk management of deriva- tive securities were discussed by a range of interested parties: academics; lawmakers and regulators; experts from nonfinancial corporations, investment and commercial banks, and pension funds; and issuers of securities. The Bank published a summary of the presentations in Minehan and Simons (1995). In the keynote address, Harvard Business School Professor Jay Light noted that there are at least 11 ways that investors can participate in the returns on the Standard and Poor’s 500 composite index (see Box 1). Professor Light pointed out that these alternatives exist because they dif- Peter Fortune fer in a variety of important respects: Some carry higher transaction costs; others might have higher margin requirements; still others might differ in tax treatment or in regulatory restraints.

  • Margin Requirements and Equity Option Returns∗
    Margin Requirements and Equity Option Returns∗ Steffen Hitzemann† Michael Hofmann‡ Marliese Uhrig-Homburg§ Christian Wagner¶ December 2017 Abstract In equity option markets, traders face margin requirements both for the options them- selves and for hedging-related positions in the underlying stock market. We show that these requirements carry a significant margin premium in the cross-section of equity option returns. The sign of the margin premium depends on demand pressure: If end-users are on the long side of the market, option returns decrease with margins, while they increase otherwise. Our results are statistically and economically significant and robust to different margin specifications and various control variables. We explain our findings by a model of funding-constrained derivatives dealers that require compensation for satisfying end-users’ option demand. Keywords: equity options, margins, funding liquidity, cross-section of option returns JEL Classification: G12, G13 ∗We thank Hameed Allaudeen, Mario Bellia, Jie Cao, Zhi Da, Matt Darst, Maxym Dedov, Bjørn Eraker, Andrea Frazzini, Ruslan Goyenko, Guanglian Hu, Hendrik Hülsbusch, Kris Jacobs, Stefan Kanne, Olaf Korn, Dmitriy Muravyev, Lasse Pedersen, Matthias Pelster, Oleg Rytchkov, Ivan Shaliastovich, as well as participants of the 2017 EFA Annual Meeting, the SFS Cavalcade North America 2017, the 2017 MFA Annual Meeting, the SGF Conference 2017, the Conference on the Econometrics of Financial Markets, the 2016 Annual Meeting of the German Finance Association, the Paris December 2016 Finance Meeting, and seminar participants at the Center for Financial Frictions at Copenhagen Business School, the CUHK Business School, the University of Gothenburg, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison for valuable discussions and helpful comments and suggestions.

  • Margin-Based Asset Pricing and Deviations from the Law of One Price∗
    Margin-Based Asset Pricing and Deviations from the Law of One Price∗ Nicolae Gˆarleanu and Lasse Heje Pedersen† Current Version: September 2009 Abstract In a model with heterogeneous-risk-aversion agents facing margin constraints, we show how securities’ required returns are characterized both by their betas and their margins. Negative shocks to fundamentals make margin constraints bind, lowering risk-free rates and raising Sharpe ratios of risky securities, especially for high-margin securities. Such a funding liquidity crisis gives rise to “bases,” that is, price gaps between securities with identical cash-flows but different margins. In the time series, bases depend on the shadow cost of capital, which can be captured through the interest- rate spread between collateralized and uncollateralized loans, and, in the cross section, they depend on relative margins. We apply the model empirically to CDS-bond bases and other deviations from the Law of One Price, and to evaluate the Fed lending facilities. ∗We are grateful for helpful comments from Markus Brunnermeier, Xavier Gabaix, Andrei Shleifer, and Wei Xiong, as well as from seminar participants at the Bank of Canada, Columbia GSB, London School of Economics, MIT Sloan, McGill University, Northwestern University Kellog, UT Austin McCombs, UC Berkeley Haas, the Yale Financial Crisis Conference, and Yale SOM. †Gˆarleanu (corresponding author) is at Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, NBER, and CEPR; e-mail: [email protected].

  • Guide for Margin Finance
    Guide for Margin Finance Guide for Margin Finance Contents Margin Finance What is margin finance? How does margin finance take place? Risks of margin finance Acknowledgement 1 / 6 Guide for Margin Finance Margin Finance Investors should request copies from their financial brokers and familiarize themselves with the following: The guide issued by the Jordan Securities Commission, Margin Finance Instructions, the list of securities allowed to be margin financed, and the margin finance agreement. Investors should also sign an acknowledgement that they have familiarized themselves with the above in order to protect their rights. This guide aims to familiarize investors with the concept of margin finance and the risks related to it. It should be read thoroughly. 2 / 6 Guide for Margin Finance What is margin finance? The term “Margin Finance” shall mean the financing by a Financial Broker of a part of the value of the securities in the margin finance account by guaranteeing the securities in that account. How does margin finance take place? Say you are an investor and you buy shares worth JD 5,000 with your own money, then the value of these shares rises to JD 7,500, your profit would be 50%. But if you finance your purchase of these shares through margin finance the shares, you would pay JD 2,500 of your own money and your broker would pay JD 2,500, so your profit would be 100%. In other words, your profit is greater when you margin finance. If, on the other hand, the value of the shares drops to JD 2,500 after you had bought them with your own money, your loss would be 50%; but if you had bought them from the margin finance account, your loss would be 100% plus any interest payments and fees.

  • A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices
    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices he measurement of the “average” price of common stocks is a matter of widespread interest. Investors want to know how “the Tmarket” is doing, and to be able to compare their returns with a meaningful benchmark. Money managers often have their compensation tied to performance, typically measured by comparing their results to a benchmark portfolio, so they and their clients are interested in the benchmark portfolio’s returns. And policymakers want to judge the potential for sudden adjustments in stock prices when differences from “fundamental value” emerge. The most widely quoted stock price index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been supplemented by other popular indices that are constructed in a different way and pose fewer problems as a measure of stock prices. At present, a number of stock price indices are reported by the few companies that we will consider in this paper. Each of these indices is intended to be a benchmark portfolio for a different segment of the universe of common stocks. This paper discusses some of the issues in constructing and interpreting stock price indices. It focuses on the most widely used indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Stan- dard & Poor’s 500, the Russell 2000, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Wilshire 5000. The first section of this study addresses issues of construction and interpretation of stock price indices. The second section compares the movements of the five indices in the last two decades and investigates the Peter Fortune relationship between the returns on the reported indices and the return on “the market.” Our results suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30) The author is a Senior Economist and has inherent problems in its construction.

(JEL G01, G12, G13, E44, E50) The paramount role of funding constraints becomes particularly salient dur- ing liquidity crises, with the one that started in 2007 being an excellent case in point. Banks unable to fund their operations closed down, and the fund- ing problems spread to other investors, such as hedge funds, that relied on bank funding. Therefore, traditional liquidity providers became forced sellers, interest-rate spreads increased dramatically, Treasury rates dropped sharply, and central
