The model explains the effects of non-standard monetary policies (like quantitative easing or its tapering) on derivatives pricing. A first adaptation of the discrete-time macroeconomic DSGE model is proposed, and some changes are made to use it for pricing: this is respectful of the original model, but it soon becomes clear that moving to continuous time brings significant benefits. The continuous-time model is built with no-arbitrage assumptions and economic hypotheses that are inspired by the DSGE model. Interestingly, in the proposed model the short rates dynamics follow a time- varying Hull-White model, which simplifies the calibration. This result is significant from a theoretical perspective as it links the new theory proposed to a well-established model. Further, I obtain closed forms for zero-coupon and year-on-year inflation payoffs. The calibration process is fully separable, which means that it is carried out in many simple steps that do not require intensive computation. The advantages of this approach become apparent when doing risk analysis on inflation derivatives: because the model explicitly takes into account economic variables, a trader can assess the impact of a change in central bank policy on a complex book of fixed income instruments, which is not straightforward when using standard models. The analytical tractability of the model makes it a candidate to tackle more complex problems, like inflation skew and counterparty/funding valuation adjustments (known by practitioners as XVA): both problems are interesting from a theoretical and an applied point of view, and, given their computational complexity, benefit from a tractable model. In both cases the results are promising.

    21 A Practitioner’s Guide to Structuring Listed Equity Derivative Securities JOHN C. BRADDOCK, MBA Executive Director–Investments CIBC Oppenheimer A Division of CIBC World Markets Corp., New York BENJAMIN D. KRAUSE, LLB Senior Vice President Capital Markets Division Chicago Board Options Exchange, New York Office INTRODUCTION Since the mid-1980s, “financial engineers” have created a wide array of instru- ments for use by professional investors in their search for higher returns and lower risks. Institutional investors are typically the most voracious consumers of structured derivative financial products, however, retail investors are increasingly availing themselves of such products through public, exchange- listed offerings. Design and engineering lie at the heart of the market for equity derivative securities. Through the use of computerized pricing and val- uation technology and instantaneous worldwide communications, today’s financial engineers are able to create new and varied instruments that address day-to-day client needs. This in turn has encouraged the development of new financial products that have broad investor appeal, many of which qualify for listing and trading on the principal securities markets. Commonly referred to as listed equity derivatives because they are listed on stock exchanges and trade under equity rules, these new financial products fuse disparate invest- ment features into single instruments that enable retail investors to replicate both speculative and risk management strategies employed by investment pro- fessionals. Options on individual common stocks are the forerunners of many of today’s publicly traded equity derivative products. They have been part of the 434 GUIDE TO STRUCTURING LISTED EQUITY DERIVATIVE SECURITIES securities landscape since the early 1970s.1 The notion of equity derivatives as a distinct class of securities, however, did not begin to solidify until the late 1980s.

Derivatives: A Twenty-First Century Understanding Timothy E. Lynch* Derivatives are commonly defined as some variationof the following: financial instruments whose value is derivedfrom the performance of a secondary source such as an underlying bond, commodity, or index. This definition is both over-inclusive and under-inclusive. Thus, not surprisingly, even many policy makers, regulators, and legal analysts misunderstand them. It is important for interested parties such as policy makers to understand derivatives because the types and uses of derivatives have exploded in the last few decades and because these financial instruments can provide both social benefits and cause social harms. This Article presents a framework for understanding modern derivatives by identifying the characteristicsthat all derivatives share. All derivatives are contracts between two counterparties in which the payoffs to andfrom each counterparty depend on the outcome of one or more extrinsic, future, uncertain event or metric and in which each counterparty expects (or takes) such outcome to be opposite to that expected (or taken) by the other counterparty.

  • Investors Or Traders Perception on Equity Derivatives
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 06, 2020 INVESTORS OR TRADERS PERCEPTION ON EQUITY DERIVATIVES Sreelekha Upputuri1, Dr. M. S.

N College, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Abstract Equity derivatives are a type of derivatives where its values are derived from equities like securities. Equity derivatives are derived from its one or more underlying equity security. The most commonly used equity derivatives in the market are futures and options. Futures can be stated as contracts which are standard in nature and can be transferred between the two parties with a purpose of buying or selling an underlying asset in future at particular time and price. Options can be described as contracts which give the buyer the right to buy or sell underlying asset at a particular price and time. In call option, the right to buy is applicable and in put option, the right to sell is applicable. This paper objective is to measure the perception of the investors towards Equity derivative. The derivative market seems to be new segment in secondary market operations in India. Usually this trade measures are sophisticated, making it difficult for an Indian investor to digest and also to make profits in trading the derivative. This study aims to measure the investors’ perception towards Derivatives market. This research is of descriptive nature, in which, systematic sampling technique is used.

  • Inflation Derivatives: Introduction One of the Latest Developments in Derivatives Markets Are Inflation- Linked Derivatives, Or, Simply, Inflation Derivatives
    Inflation-indexed Derivatives Inflation derivatives: introduction One of the latest developments in derivatives markets are inflation- linked derivatives, or, simply, inflation derivatives. The first examples were introduced into the market in 2001. They arose out of the desire of investors for real, inflation-linked returns and hedging rather than nominal returns. Although index-linked bonds are available for those wishing to have such returns, as we’ve observed in other asset classes, inflation derivatives can be tailor- made to suit specific requirements. Volume growth has been rapid during 2003, as shown in Figure 9.4 for the European market. 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 Jul 01 Jul 02 Jul 03 Jan 02 Jan 03 Sep 01 Sep 02 Mar 02 Mar 03 Nov 01 Nov 02 May 01 May 02 May 03 Figure 9.4 Inflation derivatives volumes, 2001-2003 Source: ICAP The UK market, which features a well-developed index-linked cash market, has seen the largest volume of business in inflation derivatives. They have been used by market-makers to hedge inflation-indexed bonds, as well as by corporates who wish to match future liabilities. For instance, the retail company Boots plc added to its portfolio of inflation-linked bonds when it wished to better match its future liabilities in employees’ salaries, which were assumed to rise with inflation. Hence, it entered into a series of 1 Inflation-indexed Derivatives inflation derivatives with Barclays Capital, in which it received a floating-rate, inflation-linked interest rate and paid nominal fixed- rate interest rate. The swaps ranged in maturity from 18 to 28 years, with a total notional amount of £300 million.

  • Research Notes in Economics
    No: 2018-03 | April 11, 2018 Research Notes in Economics Estimation of Currency Swap Yield Curve İbrahim Ethem Güney Abdullah Kazdal Doruk Küçüksaraç Abstract Currency swap is a financial derivative that allows parties to transform assets or liabilities denominated in one currency into another one. This product has been widely utilized in global financial markets in order to manage foreign exchange liquidity and to conduct carry trade transactions. Besides, central banks and investors follow currency swap market for the purposes of valuing financial derivatives, estimating counterparty risk and inferring about monetary policy stance. Currency swap transactions have substantial amount of volume in Turkey and they are extensively used by the banks. Given its frequent use, it is crucial to interpret the information related to currency swap rates. However, currency swap rates are quoted as par-rate, which is the coupon rate that makes the value of all cash flows equal to the face value, and their interpretation is not straightforward. This note employs one of the most popular parametric methods, Nelson-Siegel model, for currency swap rates to form a zero-coupon currency swap yield curve. In this regard, we provide an approach to convert the quoted currency swap rates to zero-coupon currency rates. The estimation results show that the fitted and quoted currency swap rates are quite close to each other. Additionally, the zero-coupon swap rates are compared with forward implied rates for specific maturities since both products are quite similar in nature. Both rates are observed to move together, which shows the consistency of our estimations.

INTRODUCTION TO DERIVATIVES 1. What are Derivatives? Ans. A Derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset. The underlying asset can be equity shares or index, precious metals, commodities, currencies, interest rates etc. A derivative instrument does not have any independent value. Its value is always dependent on the underlying assets. Derivatives can be used either to minimize risk (hedging) or assume risk with the expectation of some positive pay-off or reward (speculation). 2. What are some common types of Derivatives? Ans. The following are some common types of derivatives: a) Forwards b) Futures c) Options d) Swaps 3. What is Forward? A forward is a contractual agreement between two parties to buy/sell an underlying asset at a future date for a particular price that is pre‐decided on the date of contract.
