Risk Management Risk Management has gradually evolved from a

narrow insurance-based discipline to traditionalfinancial activities.

Risk Management involves the management ofunpredictable events that have adverse

consequences for the firm.

History of Risk Management Insurance

2100 B.C. Bottomry from the Code of Hammurabi. (A form of navalinsurance whereby the owner of the vessel can borrow money to buy cargo, anddoes not pay the debt if the ship is lost at sea Pledging the boats bottom tothe lender).

17th to 18th Century Insurance developed rapidly with the growth of Britishcommerce.

1735 The first insurance company in the American colonies wasestablished. 1787 Fire insurance corporations in NYC; 1794 in Philadelphia. 1880s Appearance of Public Liability Insurance 1897 Workmens Compensation Act in Britain (required employers to insure

employees against industrial accidents). Late 19th Century Insurance that safeguards workers against sickness and

disability, old age, and unemployment. 1905-1912 Workers Compensation Laws introduced in the USA. Social

insurance schemes proliferated worldwide. 1938 Federal Crop Insurance Act After 1944 Supervision and regulation of insurance corporations. Till then, insurance was still the main way companies manage risk.

History of Risk Management 1956 When exploration of the idea of risk management began.

HBR published Risk Management: A new phase of cost control byRussell Gallagher. (Dr. Wayne Snider: the professional insurancemanager should be a risk manager).

1960s and 1970s First Age of Risk Management. Businessesconsidered only the non-entrepreneurial risk (e.g. Security, fire,pollution, fraud) Risk is treated reactively, like using insurance.But insurance is only one way to protect the company. There aremany others.

1970s and 1980s Second Age of Risk Management. Qualityassurance is introduced, heralded by the British Standards

Institution (BSI). Risk is treated in a proactive or preventable way. 1980s Environmental risks is taken into account. 1995 Third Age of Risk Management. Non-entrepreneurial and

Entrepreneurial risks (risks that a company is exposed to when itengages in business) are considered.

Why might stockholders be indifferent to whether

or not a firm reduces the volatility of its cashflows?

Diversified shareholders may already be hedged

against various types of risk. Reducing volatility increases firm value only if it

leads to higher expected cash flows and/or areduced WACC.

Risk Management Does it add value to SHs? If the general premise that most investors hold well-diversified portfolio is true, then the answer is

theoretically NO.

Recall the Corporate Value Model (page 326). Market Value of the Company = PV of expectedfuture FCF

MV = FCF1/(1+WACC)^1 + FCFN/(1+WACC)^N

Therefore, MV of shares depends on 2 variables, FCF and WACC. If and only if risk managementcan increase expected FCF or decrease WACC can the market value of the stock increase.

Suppose that you are in the business of buying and selling apples. The price now is P20 per apple.You expect that the price is going to increase 10% for the next 5 years. So to manage risk, youentered into an agreement with the supplier to buy apples at P20.50 per apple for the next 5 years.

You have reduced risk, but have you added shareholders value? Remember that since 20.50 isalready known and therefore expected, The absolute amount of FCF wont change.

Recall that WACC = cost of debt + cost of preferred stock + cost of RE or common stock. If there isno change in any of these components, or the capital structure remains the same, WACC will

remain the same. For cost of debt: If the supposed increase in the price of apples wont causebankruptcy (if bankruptcy is imminent, kd must be reduced). For cost of equity: most investorshold well diversified portfolios, so the relevant risk is non-diversified (systematic) risk. So even ifan increase in price of apples will lower your stock price, if you hold a well diversified portfolio,any changes wont be too significant. Thus, stock value wont change significantly.

Reasons why Companies Manage Risks

Reduced volatility allows more Debt Capacity to be able to take on moredebt. Reduces CF volatility and probability of bankruptcy, interest tax savingslead to higher stock price. Remember that kd is less than ke or ks due to taxsavings, which leads to higher stock price.

Maintaining optimal capital budget over time. Strive for the lowest WACC bytaking on more kd and cost of RE to avoid flotation costs.

Reduced volatility minimize financial distress CFs can fall below expectedlevels. Risk management can alleviate this concern (through price tie-ups).

Comparative advantages (in contrast with individual investor) inhedging lower transaction costs, asymmetric information, specialized skillsand knowledge

Reduced volatility results to the reduction of borrowing costs (particularlyon swaps)

Tax effects. Reduced volatility reduces the higher taxes that resultfrom fluctuating earnings. Stable earnings generally pay lower taxes thancompanies with volatile earnings. (Tax credits, carryforward, carrybacks).

For managers they will try to employ risk management for earnings to stabilize,so their bonuses will also be stable. Certain compensation schemesreward managers for achieving stable earnings.

Different Risks a firm may be exposed to Pure risks risks that offer ONLY the prospect of a loss. There is no possibility

that a gain may occur. For example, fire hazard risk Speculative risks there is a chance of a gain but theres also a chance of a

loss. For example, investments in new projects.

Demand risks risk that demand for a firms products or services will go down.

Input risks risks that input costs will increase, and that these costs cannot betransferred to the customer.

Financial risks risks resulting from financial transactions. For example, therisks of interest rate fluctuation or exchange rate fluctuation.

Property risks risks that productive assets will be destroyed.

Personnel risks risks resulting from the actions of employees. For example,strikes, theft, fraud.

Environmental risks risks of public outcry in case of pollution

Liability risks risks associated with product, service, or employee actions(that may or may not lead to lawsuits)

Insurable risks risks that can be covered/mitigated by insurance (generally property, personnel, environmental, and liability)

JQY


10/85

Process for managing risks

Identifythe risks faced by the firm

Measure the potential effect of each risk

Decide how to handle each relevant risk

Transfer risk to the insurance company Transfer function that produces risk to a third party (agency)

Purchase derivative contracts to reduce risk (hedgerisks)

Reduce probability of adverse events

If adverse events do occur, reduce magnitude of the loss

Totally avoid the activity that gives rise to the risk (discontinueproducts that may be subject to potential lawsuits).

Derivatives

Financial innovation that allows investors to manage risks. Securities whose values are determined by the market price or

interest rate of some other asset (underlying asset)

Common underlying assets:

Equities Indexes

Bonds

Physical Assets

Interest Rates

May be used to hedge risk or to profit fromspeculation.

Potentially risky, especially for inexperienced investors.

Types of Derivatives:

Forward Commitments represents a commitment or abinding promise to buy or sell an asset or make a payment inthe future Forward Contracts Futures Contracts Swaps

Contingent Claims payoffs occur if a specific event occurs.It represents a right to buy or sell. It only has value if somefuture event takes place (EG: if asset price > specified price) Callable and/or Convertible Bonds Warrants Options

Standard Options based on assets Exotic Options based on futures or other derivatives Common types of options:

Based on interest rateAsset-backed security


13/85

2 Broad Groups of Derivatives: Exchange-traded derivatives

These are transacted via specialized derivatives exchanges(CME Group, Korea Exchange, Eurex)

Examples: Futures contracts and most options They are standardized, regulated, and backed by a

clearinghouse. They have relatively low default risk as such is shouldered by

the clearinghouse. Over-the-counter derivatives

Traded/created by dealers and financial institutions in amarket with no central location.

Examples: Forward contracts, swaps, and some options(bond options)

They are largely customized, unregulated and each contracthas a counterparty. They expose the owner of a derivative todefault risk (in case the counterparty does not honor his

commitment).

17/85

Forward Contracts

Forward Contract A bilateral private contract under which one party agrees to

buy a commodity at a specific price (agreed today) on aspecific future date; and the other party agrees to make thesale.

Not traded in an exchange. It is traded over-the-counter.

Physical delivery occurs

Underlying assets can be anything, or any instrument (eg:bonds, equities, indices, or portfolio of those already stated)

Entail both market risk and credit risk

JQY


18/85

Forward Contracts

Deliverable Forward Contract It specifies that the long (buyer) will pay a certain amount at a

future date to the short (seller), who will deliver a certain amountof an asset.

Forward Contract with Cash Settlement Does not require delivery of the underlying asset. Cash payment is

made at settlement date from one counterparty to the other, basedon the contract price and market price of the asset at settlement.

Early Termination Entering into a new forward contract with the opposite position, at

the then-current expected forward price

May be done with the existing counterparty (eliminates defaultrisk) or a new counterparty (must consider default risk)


19/85

Forward Contracts End Users of Forward Contracts

Often a corporation hedging an existing risk

Dealers of Forward Contracts Usually brokers, banks, or financial institutions originate then, taking

a long side in some contracts and a short side in others.

They always allow for a spread in pricing to compensate for actualcost, bearing default risk, and any unhedged price risk.

Using bonds as the underlying asset Bonds have a maturity date, so the forward contract

must be settled before the bond matures.

Quotations: Quoted in terms of the discount on zero-coupon bonds (T-bills)

Quoted in terms of the YTM on coupon bonds (exclusive of accruedinterest)

Corporate bonds: must contain special provisions to deal withossibilit of default and an call or conversion features


20/85

Bond Forward Contract

Illustration: A forward contract covering a $10 million facevalue of T-bills that will have 100 days tomaturity at contract settlement is priced at 1.96

on a discount yield basis. Compute the dollaramount the long must pay at settlement for theT-bills.

When market interest rate increase, discount increase and T-

bill prices fall. Thus, i f interest rates r ise, the shor t gains ,

and the long w i l l have los ses on the forward contract . If

interest rates fall, the long will gain on the forward contract,

and the short loses.


21/85

Equity Forward Contracts

The underlying asset is a single stock, portfolio ofstocks, or stock index.

Treatment is the same as other forward contracts.

Portfolio of stocks as the underlying asset: The difference between a forward contract with one portfolio of

stocks as the underlying asset and several forward contracts witheach covering a single stock is that it has better pricing (becauseoverall administration/origination costs will be less for theportfolio forward contract)

Stock index as the underlying asset: Similar to that of a single stock as the underlying asset, except that

the contract will be based on a notional amount and will be verylikely a cash-settlement contract.


22/85

Equity Index Forward Contract

Illustration: A portfolio manager desires to generate $10

million 100 days from now from a portfolio that

is quite similar in composition to the S&P 100index. She requests a quote on a short positionin a 100 day forward contract based on the indexwith a notional amount of $10 million and gets a

quote of 525.2. If the index level at thesettlement date is 535.7, calculate the amountthe manager will pay or receive to settle thecontract.


23/85

Eurodollar, LIBOR, and EURIBOR

Eurodollar deposits Deposits in large banks outside the USA, denominated in USD.

Quoted as an add-on yield rather than on a discount basis.

LIBOR

London Interbank Offered Rate The lending rate on dollar-denominated loans between banks.

Quoted as an annualized rate based on a 360-day year

Used as an international reference rate for floating rate USDdenominated loans worldwide, quoted in 30-day, 60-day, 90-day,

180-day, or 360-day terms

EURIBOR Europe Interbank Offered Rate

Equivalent for short-term Euro denominated bank deposits (loans to

banks)


24/85

LIBOR-based Loan Illustration:

Compute the amount that must be repaid on a$1 million loan for 30 days if 30-day LIBOR is

quoted at 6%.


25/85

Forward Rate Agreement (FRA)

A forward contract to borrow/lend money at a certainrate at some future date.

Cash settlement, but no actual loan is made at

settlement date. Serve to hedge the uncertainty about short-term rates

(eg: 30, 60, or 90 day LIBOR) that will prevail in thefuture.

If reference rates rise, the long (borrower)gains and the short loses.

If reference rates fall, the short (lender) gains

and the long loses.


26/85

Reading FRAs 60-day FRA on a 90-day LIBOR

Settlement or expiration is 60 days from now

Payment at settlement is based on 90-day LIBOR,60 days from now.

Is also referred to as 2-by-5 FRA or 2x5 FRA


27/85

Payment from the short to thelong at settlement on an FRA:

Numerator = interest savings in percent Denominator = discount factor


28/85

FRA Cash Settlement Illustration:

Consider an FRA that:

Expires or settles in 30 days.

Is based on a notional principal amount of $1 million.

Is based on 90-day LIBOR. Specifies a forward rate of 5%

Assume that the actual 90-day LIBOR 30 days from

now (at expiration) is 6%. Compute the cash settlementpayment at expiration, and identify which party makesthe payment.


29/85

Currency Forward Contracts Specifies that one party will deliver a certain

amount of one currency at the settlement date in

exchange for a certain amount of anothercurrency.

A single cash payment is made at settlement

based on the difference between the exchangerate fixed in the contract and the marketexchange rate at the settlement date.


30/85

Currency Forwards Illustration:

Velvet expects to receive EUR 50 million 3months from now and enters into a cash

settlement currency forward to exchange theseeuros for USD at USD 1.23 per euro. If themarket exchange rate USD 1.25 per euro atsettlement, what is the amount of the paymentto be received or paid by Velvet?


31/85

Futures Contracts Similar to a forward contract, but it is a standardized contract

traded through the futures exchange. There is a third party clearinghouse that acts as counterparty on all contracts.

Regulated by the government

More liquid than forward contracts

Lower transaction costs than forward contracts Usually done for commodities (underlying asset)

Marked to market on a daily basis, and entails virtually nophysical delivery

Entail only market risk. Credit risk is passed on to theclearinghouse. Clearinghouse doesnt take market risk as itonly takes offsetting positions.

JQY


35/85

Solution: Step 1: Compute for the PV of the bonds today and one day ago.

PV of Bond Today = {[108 + (28/32)]/100} x 100,000 = 108,875Change in Bond Value = (37/32)/100 x 100,000 = 1,156.25PV of Bond One Day Ago = 108,875 1,156.25 = 107,718.75 (REQ. 1)

Step 2: Compute for the total value of the bonds.Total Value of the Bonds = PV x No. of contracts outstandingTotal Value of the Bonds = 108,875 x 96,216 = 10,476 billion (REQ. 2)

Step 3a: Compute for the nominal annual interest rate today. (Use YTMEquation)

YTM = {{Annual PMT + [(FV PV)/Annual N]} / [(40% x FV) + (60% x PV)]}}YTM = {{6,000 + [(100,000 108,875)/20]} / (40% x 100,000) + (60% x 108,875)]}}YTM = 5.28% or 5.3%

Solution: Step 3b: Compute for the nominal annual interest rate one day ago.

(Use YTM Equation)YTM = {{Annual PMT + [(FV PV)/Annual N]} / [(40% x FV) + (60% x PV)]}}

YTM = {{6,000 + [(100,000 107,718.75)/20]} / (40% x 100,000) + (60% x107,718.75)]}}

YTM = 5.37% (REQ. 3)

Step 4. Compute for the PV of the bonds using the new interest rate.(Use YTM Equation)

YTM = {{Annual PMT + [(FV PV)/Annual N]} / [(40% x FV) + (60% x PV)]}}

(YTM Today Change in Interest Rate) = {{6,000 + [(100,000 PV)/20]} /(40% x 100,000) + (60% x PV)]}}

(5.3% 0.3%) = {{6,000 + [(100,000 PV)/20]} / (40% x 100,000) + (60% xPV)]}}

3% PV [(100,000 PV)/20] = 4,000; 60% PV 100,000 + PV = 80,000

160% PV = 180,000; PV = 112,500 (REQ. 4)

Hedging using futures Recall that when price increases, sellers lose. When price decreases, buyers lose.

Long and short hedges are ways in which an investor can cut his losses.

Long (buy) hedges

Futures contracts are bought in anticipation of (or to guard against) price increases.

You already have a short (sell) position, but you think that price will rise, so you makea buy position to hedge against that risk.

Example: You entered into a futures contract to sell 1000 bushels of wheat at P500k

next year. However, since wheat prices start to rise, you anticipated that the price ofwheat is going to rise to P800k. So, to hedge that risk, you enter into anothercontract to buy 1000 bushels of wheat at P600k next year. In case the wheat pricebecomes P800k. At least you lost only 300k 200k = 100k.

Short (sell) hedges

Futures contracts are sold to guard against price declines.

You already have a long (buy) position, but you think that price will fall, so you make a

sell position to hedge against that risk. Example: You entered into a futures contract to buy 1000 bushels of wheat at P500k

next year. However, since wheat prices start to fall, you anticipated that the price ofwheat is going to fall to P300k. So, to hedge that risk, you enter into another contractto sell 1000 bushels of wheat at P400k next year. In case the wheat price becomesP300k. At least you lost only 200k 100k = 100k.

Future Contracts Terms Futures margin deposit

Deposits to ensure performance under contract terms. These

are not loans.

Initial margin

The deposit required to initiate a futures position.

Maintenance margin

The minimum margin amount, and when margin falls belowthis amount, it must be brought back to its initial level (Initialmargin)

Variation margin

Funds needed to bring ones account back to the initialmargin amount

Margin calculations

Based on daily settlement price , the average of the prices for

trades during a closing period set by the exchange.

Set by Feds,may be

increased by

brokerage


40/85

Marking-to-market

Process of adding gains to or subtracting losses fromthe margin account daily, based on the change insettlement prices from one day to the next.

Trades cannot take place at prices that differ from theprevious days settlement price by more than the pricelimit and are said to be limit down (up) when the newequilibrium price is below (above) the minimum

(maximum) price for the day.


41/85

Limit Move Illustration

A futures contract has a daily price limit of 5 cents. Itsettled at $5.53 yesterday. Today, traders wish to tradeat $5.60.

No trades will take place today; however, settlement

price will be reported as $5.58. This is called a limitmove a limit up.

If traders wish to trade at or below $5.48, the price issaid to be limit down.

No trade because of limit move = Locked Limit = asituation where the equilibrium is either above or belowthe prior days settle price by more than the permitted(limit) daily price move.

Margin Balance Computation 1:

On September 1, 2010, A agrees to sell a house to Bnext year at P5 million. They agreed on cashsettlement. On September 2, the market value of thehouse is P4.8 million. On September 3, the market

value of the house is P4.9 million, and on September4, the market value of the house is P5.1 million. Theclearinghouse decides that initial margin will be 10%of the notional principal, and maintenance margin will

be 80% of the initial margin. Calculate the margin balance of A and B for September

2, 3, and 4.


43/85

Margin Balance Computation 2:

Consider a long position of five July wheat contracts,each of which covers 5,000 bushels. Assume that thecontract price is $2.00 and that each contract requires

an initial margin deposit of $150 and a maintenancemargin of $100.

Compute the margin balance for this position after a 2cent decrease in price in Day 1, a 1-cent increase in

price in Day 2, and a 1-cent decrease in price on Day 3.


44/85

Termination of a Futures Contract:

Offsetting trade (entering into an opposite positionin the same contract). The most common method.

Cash Settlement (Cash payment at expiration)

Deliveryof the asset specified in the contract (lessthan 1% of all contract terminations)

An exchange for physicals (asset delivery off theexchange) = an ex-pit transaction; an exception.


45/85

Types of Futures Contracts: Treasury Bill

Based on a $1 million face value 90 day t-bill & settles in cash. Onetick is 0.01% ($25 per $1 million contract)

Eurodollar Based on 90-day LIBOR

Settles in cash and the minimum price change or onetick is 0.01%, ($25 per $1 million contract)

Treasury Bond Traded for t-bonds that matures in more than 15 years, is a

deliverable contract, have a face value of $100,000 and quoted aspercentages or fractions of 1% (1/32nds) of face value

Gives the short a choice of bonds to deliver

Uses conversion factors to adjust the contract price for the bondthat is delivered. Long pays the futures price at expiration x

conversion factor.


46/85

T-bill Futures Contract Illustration: A t-bill has a price quote of 98.52. How much is

the delivery price of the t-bill?


47/85

Types of Futures Contracts: Stock Index

Do not allow for actual delivery.

Have a multiplier that is multiplied by the index to calculate thecontract value, and settle in cash.

S&P 500 index future is most popular, settlement is in cash and is

based on a multiplier of 250. Dows multiplier is 10, NASDAQ is100

Example: Suppose the S&P 500 index is at 1,088. A one monthfutures contract on the index may be quoted at a price of 1,090.Compute for the actual futures price.

Currency Delivery of standardized amounts of foreign currency.

Are set in foreign currency, and price is stated in USD/unit.


48/85

Swap Two parties agree to exchange obligations to make specified payment

streams.

A series of forward contracts Not per se, an exchange of one asset for another. Rather, its an

exchange of obligations. Are custom instruments, largely unregulated, dont trade in

secondary markets, and are subject to default (counterparty) risk

No money is exchanged at inception, and periodic payments arenetted, except currency swaps. Effects of swaps due to standardized contracts:

Standardized contracts lower the time and effort involved inarranging swaps, thus lowering transaction costs.

Standardized contracts led to a secondary market for swaps,

increasing the liquidity and efficiency of the swaps market. Examples:

Plain Vanilla Interest rate swap Equity returns swap Currency swap

JQY


49/85

Plain Vanilla Interest-rate swap

Fixed-for-floating (or vice versa) interest-rate swap.

Notional principal is generally not swapped

Net payment by the fixed rate payer, based on 360 day

year: (Fixed Float or LIBOR) x (# of days / 360) x notional

principal

Net payment by the float rate payer, based on 360 day

year: (Float or LIBOR Fixed) x (# of days / 360) x notional

principal


50/85

Interest Rate Swap Illustration: A enters into a $1,000,000 quarterly-pay plain vanilla

interest rate swap as the fixed rate payer at a fixed rateof 6% based on a 360 day year. The floating-ratepayer agrees to pay 90-day LIBOR plus a 1% margin;90-day LIBOR is currently 4%.

The first swap payment is known at swap initiation.

90-day LIBOR rates are: 4.5% 90 days from now

5.0% 180 days from now 5.5% 270 days from now

6.0% 360 days from now

Calculate the amount A pays or receives 90, 180, 270, and

360 days from now.


51/85

Equity Swaps The returns payer makes payments based on

returns of a stock, portfolio, or index, in

exchange for fixed or floating rate payments. If stock, PTF, or index declines in value, the

returns payer receives the interest payment & apayment based on the percentage decline invalue.


52/85

Equity Swap Illustration:

Petunia enters into a 2 year $10 million quarterly swapas the fixed payer and will receive the index return onthe S&P 500. The fixed rate is 8% and the index is

currently 986. At the end of the next three quarters,the index level is 1030, 968, and 989.

Calculate the net payment for each of the next three

quarters and identify the direction of the payment.


53/85

Currency Swap Used to secure cheaper debt and to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations.

It is less expensive than issuing debt in foreign currency coz own currency is not known toforeign land. This is especially applicable for companies that wants to have operations ina foreign land.

How to terminate swaps: Enter into an offsetting swap, sometimes

through swaption (most common)

Mutual agreement to terminate the swap (likelyinvolves making or receiving compensation)

Selling the swap to a 3rd party with consent of

the original counterparty (uncommon)

They are securities whose cash flow characteristics dependupon one or more indices or that have embedded forwardsor options, or securities where an investors investmentreturns and issuers payment obligations are contingent on,

or highly sensitive to, changes in the value of the underlyingassets, indices, interest rates, or cash flows.

Example: Collateralized Debt Obligation is a type ofstructured asset-backed security.

Inverse Floaters

A note in which the interest paid moves counter to market

rates.

Example: Usually, interest rate on your bond is 1% + primerate. So if prime rate is 4%, interest rate on your note willbe 5%.

For inverse floaters, if interest rate in economy falls, bondyield will rise. (Example: if interest rate of economy is 3%,and bond interest rate is 4%. If economy rate goes to 2%,bond interest rate goes to 5%

Benefits: to enhance yield when economy rates fall.

Options A contract that gives its holder the right, but not

the obligation, to buy (or sell) an asset at some

predetermined price within a specified period oftime.

Its important to remember:

It does not obligate its owner to take action.

It merely gives the owner the right to buy or sellan asset.

Option writer = seller of an option.

Call Option

Gives the holder of the call option the right, but not theobligation, to buy an asset at a particular price within aspecified period of time.

Put Option

Gives the holder of the put option the right, but not theobligation, to sell an asset at a particular price within a

specified period of time.

Options:

Four possible Options:

Long Call buyer (holder) of a call option

Short Call seller (writer) of a call option

Long Put buyer (holder) of a put option Short Put seller (writer) of a put option

Option Premium the price paid for the option.

Moneyness determined by the difference between

the strike or exercise price and the market price of theunderlying stock.

Kinds of Options: European Options

Can be exercised only at the options expiration

date. American Options

Can be exercised at any time up to the optionsexpiration date.

These are more valuable than European options.

Option Terminologies

Exercise (or strike) price the price stated in the optioncontract at which the security can be bought or sold.

Option price option contracts market price.

Expiration date the date the option matures.

Exercise value the value of an option if it were exercisedtoday (Current stock price - Strike price).

Option Terminologies

Covered option an option written against stock held in aninvestors portfolio.

Naked (uncovered) option an option written without the

stock to back it up.

In-the-money call a call option whose exercise price is lessthan the current price of the underlying stock.

Out-of-the-money call a call option whose exercise priceexceeds the current stock price.

Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities (LEAPS) - similar tonormal options, but they are longer-term options withmaturities of up to 2 1/2 years.

How does the option premium change as

the stock price increases? The premium of the option price over the exercisevalue declines as the stock price increases.

This is due to the declining degree of leverageprovided by options as the underlying stock priceincreases, and the greater loss potential ofoptions at higher option prices.

OPM Riskless Hedge We are to find the value of an option assuming a

riskless hedge.

Riskless Hedge a hedge where an investorbuys a stock and simultaneously sells a calloption on that stock, ending up with a risklessposition.

Given: Stock price today = P40 per share;Exercise price next year = P35 per share; Truemarket price = may either be 30 or 50. Assume

that discount interest is 8%.JQY

Steps:3. Create a riskless hedged investment (Ending value of total portfolio

= regardless of whether the stock increases or decreases)

4. Pricing the call option

PV of the Portfolio = 22.50 / (1.08)^1 = 20.83

Remember, stock NOW is worth P40.00. Cost of stock is P30.00,because it costs 0.75(40) = 30 to purchase of a share.

Price of Option = Cost of Stock PV Portfolio

Price of Option = P30.00 P20.83 = 9.17

in 1973.

JQY

What are the assumptions of the Black-Scholes


78/85

What are the assumptions of the Black-ScholesOption Pricing Model?

The stock underlying the call option pays no dividendsduring the call options life. There are no transactions costs for the sale/purchase of

either the stock or the option. The short-term, risk-free interest rate (rRF) is known and is

constant during the life of the option. Any purchaser of a security may borrow any fraction of thepurchase price at the short-term risk-free interest rate.

No penalty for short selling and sellers receive immediatelyfull cash proceeds at todays price. (Short selling ispermitted)

Option can only be exercised on its expiration date.(European Options)

Security trading takes place in continuous time, and stockprices move randomly in continuous time.

Benefits of Derivatives: Provide price information (price discovery).

Allows risk to be managed and shifted among

market participants. Reduce transaction costs because investors are

already able to manage risks.


85/85

Criticisms of Derivatives: Likened to gambling because of the high

leverage involved in derivatives payoffs.

Too risky especially to investors with limitedknowledge of complex instruments.
