The Sharpe ratio is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility
or total risk. Subtracting the return with the risk-free rate, the performance associated with
risk-taking activities can be isolated.
The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance
The positive adjusted return indicates that the investor can get a better return compared to T-
bills. The investor can also borrow money at the T-bills rate and invest in the underlying asset to
earn a profit, creating an arbitrage opportunity.

The positive adjusted return mean indicates that the investor can get a better return compared
to T-bills. From the above tables we conclude that the variation in adjusted return on futures
and underlying asset was quite less and also the return on different maturity contracts was
nearly same.
Section-3
(Comparison of Risk Adjusted and Unadjusted Returns)
The underlying risk adjusted and risk unadjusted return values, are in general less when
compared to risk adjusted and risk unadjusted return values on futures. This therefore means that
futures is a better option for investing in IndiaBulls Housing Finance , when compared to trade
in its equity We can have the idea of the liquidity of the company’s stock based on the volume
of stock/futures being traded and open interest of the stock/futures. It can be seen from the data

Options
Expiry date used for calculation - 25th Jan’18.
Option contract having maximum liquidity was chosen and standard deviation (Volatility) in call
option premium returns was calculated. Thus implied volatility was found which was further
substituted into Black–Scholes formula for predicting the call premium at the end of three
months i.e. on 26th April’18.
So 𝜎^2

d1 =

d2 = d1 - 𝜎 ∗ √𝑇
c = So*N(d1) – k*e-(r*t)*N(d2).
where,
Therefore when substituted into the model, call premium for next contract i.e on 29th Jan’18
was Found to be 195.4137 and from historical data this price turns out to be 214.9

Thus the given data varies slighty because of the assumptions involved in calculating Block
Sholes call premium which are
No dividends are paid out during the life of the option.
Markets are efficient (i.e., market movements cannot be predicted
There are no transaction costs in buying the option.
The risk-free rate and volatility of the underlying are known and constant.
This BSM option pricing model gives a good approximation and thus be used for predicting the
option premium value.
