Hills, Kottayam – 686560, Kerala State, India *Corresponding author: tmmallik@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This paper studies the volatility implications of the introduction of derivatives on stock market volatility in India using the S&P CNX Nifty Index as a benchmark. To account for non-constant error variance in the return series, a GARCH model is fitted by incorporating futures and options dummy variables in the conditional variance equation. We find clustering and persistence of volatility before and after derivatives, while listing seems to have no stabilisation or destabilisation effects on market volatility. The postderivatives period shows that the sensitivity of the index returns to market returns and any day-of-the-week effects have disappeared. That is, the nature of the volatility patterns has altered during the post-derivatives period. Keywords: conditional volatility, heteroscedasticity, volatility clustering, market efficiency INTRODUCTION The modelling of asset returns volatility continues to be one of the key areas of financial...

...Impact of derivative trading on the volatility in the stock market of India -Abhinav Barik Abstract This research paper focuses on the impact the derivative trading has had on the stock market of India. The impact is judged by the change in the volatility after the introduction of the derivative trading. In this paper 5 stocks are taken on which derivative trading was introduced and 4 stocks on which derivative trading was not introduced. The daily closing price of those stocks was taken for two periodspre derivative period and the post derivative period. These were analyzed using GARCH model to find the variance equation and then the GARCH coefficients from this equation were compared using the Wald test to check if the volatility has actually changed. The study suggests that the volatility has decreased for 4 companies, increased for 2 and two other companies did not show any significant change in the volatility. * Keywords: volatility, derivative, correlogram diagram, unit root, GARCH, Wald test *MBA student (2010-12), ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL, Hyderabad barik.abhinav@rediffmail.com 1.

Introduction A derivative is a financial contract which derives its value from the performance of another entity such as an asset, index, or interest rate, called the "underlying". Derivatives are one of the three main categories of financial instruments, the other two being equities (i.e. stocks) and debt (i.e. bonds and mortgages). Derivatives include a variety of financial contracts, including futures, forwards, swaps, options, and variations of these such as caps, floors, collars, and credit default swaps. Most derivatives are traded over-the-counter (off-exchange)...

...1) Explain what options are. 2) Talk about different option markets. 3) Talk about American market. 4) Talk about European market. 5) Explain major differences. 1) An option is a financial derivative that represents a contract sold by one party (option writer) to another party (option holder). The contract offers the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a security or other financial asset at an agreed-upon price (the strike price) during a certain period of time or on a specific date (exercise date). Options are extremely versatile securities that can be used in many different ways. Traders use options to speculate, which is a relatively risky practice, while hedgers use options to reduce the risk of holding an asset. Now that i have explained what an option is i will show you the different types. There are two main types of Options: 1) European Options: An option that can only be exercised at the end of its life, at its maturity. 2) American Options: An option that can be exercised anytime during its life. The majority of exchange-traded options are American. European options normally trade over the counter(which means that are traded through a dealer network rather than in a centralized exchange) while American options usually trade on standardized exchanges. Even though that European options can not be exercised before their maturity date, if a buyer of an European option does not want to wait for maturity to exercise...

...JPMorgan Chase I. Abstract The credit derivatives were introduced in the early 1990s, as large derivatives dealer searched for ways to transfer risk in financial markets. Although the financial innovations have only been used for decades, activity in credit derivations has grown rapidly. According to the Bank for International Settlement, the credit derivatives market reaches $21 trillion in 2014, and the main players for credit derivatives are investment banks, corporations or insurance companies. (Bank for International Settlement, 2014) Credit derivatives are relatively complex financial instrument, since it utilizes the leverage technique to mitigate the credit risk. One the one hand, credit derivatives allow banks to mitigate credit risk, reduce undesired risks and customize their risk profiles. On the other hand, the use of credit derivatives contains potential risks to the company since the market is still new. Users of credit derivatives must recognize and mange numerous associated risks. In fact, the historical evidence has shown that credit derivatives are the major causes to financial crisis. (Borodovsky & Lore, 2000) Although it is important to assess credit risk and market risk in the bank investment, operational risk is the fundamental part to the ultimate success of investment. “Operational risk is the risk of a breakdown in the operations of the derivatives program or risk management system.” (Chance & Brooks, 2012) Operational risk was generally defined...

...DERIVATIVES A derivative is a financial instrument - or more simply, an agreement between two people or two parties - that has a value determined by the price of something else (called the underlying). It is a financial contract with a value linked to the expected future price movements of the asset it is linked to - such as a share or a currency. There are many kinds of derivatives, with the most notable being swaps, futures, and options. However, since a derivative can be placed on any sort of security, the scope of all derivatives possible is nearly endless. Thus, the real definition of a derivative is an agreement between two parties that is contingent on a future outcome of the underlying. Some of the widely known underlying assets are: * Indexes (consumer price index (CPI), stock market index, weather conditions or inflation) * Bonds * Currencies * Interest rates * Exchange rates * Commodities * Stocks (equities) Categorization Derivatives are usually broadly categorized by the: * relationship between the underlying and the derivative (e.g., forward, option, swap) * type of underlying (e.g., equity derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives or credit derivatives) * market in which they trade (e.g., exchange-traded or over-the-counter) * pay-off profile (Some derivatives have non-linear payoff diagrams due to embedded optionality) Another arbitrary distinction is between:...

...Analyse the role of OTC derivatives in triggering the global financial crisis • Recommend the ways to control the OTC market in the future The origins of the global financial crisis There are several factors causing global financial crisis: 1. Growth of housing bubble & Subprime lending o particular advantage of low long-term interest rates was the US mortgage market. American households traditionally took out fixed-rate mortgages, often guaranteed by the government-sponsored enterprises, the GSEs. As rates fell, households refinanced in large numbers, but this extra origination business dried up once rates started to rise again. Rather than shrink their business, US mortgage lenders pursued riskier segments of the market that the GSEs did not insure, as Graph 4 shows. This included the sub-prime segment, but also so-called ‘Alt-A’ and other non-standard loans involving easier lending terms. At the time, this was considered a positive development, because it was thought that it allowed more people to become home owners. Products requiring low or no deposit, or with a low introductory interest rate were known as ‘affordability products’. They allowed households to pay the very high housing prices that their own stronger demand was generating. o http://www.rba.gov.au/Speeches/2009/_Images/150409_so_graph4.gif o As the US housing boom wore on, lending standards eased further. As Graph 5 shows, up until 2006 the sub-prime market segment increasingly...

...Derivatives and Hedging Over recent years, the volatility in the financial markets has increased due to substantial changes domestically and internationally. This has given rise to increased financial price risks faced by both domestic and multi-national companies. Financial Derivatives are widely used by corporations to adjust to exposure to currency risk, interest rate risks, commodity price risks, and security holdings risk. Largely, companies are currently exposed to risks caused by unexpected movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Companies with a growing global presence are especially exposed to a wide range of financial risks, in particular foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk. Although, financial risks are the center of business operations of financial service firms, but they also impact the risk exposure of non-financial corporations. The management and supervision of these risks has become vital for the existence of companies in today’s unpredictable financial markets. The major financial risks that most firms are exposed to are interest rate risk, currency rate risk, commodity price risk, and security holdings risk. Interest rate risk is a very common type of risk, and result from a discrepancy in the sensitivity of a firms assets and liabilities to interest rate movements. On the other hand, currency risk exposure is virtually encountered by all firms, even if their exposure is not from a transaction or a translation risk. Many firms are...

...Traditional VS Islamic Financial Derivatives To: Prof. Naser Abu Mustafa By: Mwaffaq Al Jayousi & Mohammad Al Shdooh Abstract This study focuses the light on defining financial derivatives and briefly describe their different types (Options, Forwards, Futures, Swaps, etc.). At the same time it tries to find if these financial derivatives exists in the Arab world, how they are implemented, and if we have an Islamic alternatives for them. Introduction There is a big debate in the Arab world regarding the usage of financial derivatives, Wither they are legal according to Islam or not, and If they are illegal in Islam; are there any Islamic alternatives to them. First we have to ask our self: Is there any need to use derivatives? And why they recently became so popular in the western countries? The need for financial derivatives emerges when people realize that there must be a way to reduce the risk associated with the trading of different kinds of goods. Risks such as price fluctuations and the uncertainty about the future market conditions. And since there are some people who are willing to bear this risk instead of us, this market took off and recently because of the communications revolution it flourished. Then why these financial derivatives did not reach the Arab world? The answer is simply because they hugely rely on speculations and anticipation; which are considered illegal according to Islam. But someone can ask: if it is illegal in Islam, then how come we...
