1.2 Project Description:
The project undertaken is analysis of derivatives in Indian market and how derivatives in Indian
market are been used by investors. What are the various strategies followed by them according to
market fluctuations.
First part is to understand the market movements in Indian derivatives market, the various types
of derivatives in Indian market and a comparison between them, the types of contracts in
derivatives such as forward contracts, future contracts, option contracts, swaps.
With this the various advantages of derivatives like leverage and liquidity, also some uses of
derivatives such as speculation, arbitrage and hedging.
Analysis of Indian derivatives starts with taking volume and price of index futures, index
options, stock futures and stock options from existence to till date from these data factors like
growth and correlation between the index movements with derivatives can be found out. Hence
project overall helps us in understanding the market movements with the help of market
indicators and proper positions can be taken by using trading strategies.
I have explained straddle strategy and how it is used to maximize returns and to minimize losses
of an investor.
It deals with the construction of an optimal portfolio on the basis of risk-return evaluation, loss
minimization and profit maximization.
In this part why portfolios are made and what are points to be considered in making a portfolio
are explained. With this which sectors to be taken and under that sector what are the companies
to be taken are described.

Based on the following 3 points portfolios are made. Those are
In a last line how to get maximum return with taking minimum risk is the main objective of
portfolio construction.
1.3 Objectives:
• To understand the market movements in Indian derivatives market.
• To study the risk management of various stocks and portfolio with the index futures by
using different strategies.
• To get a clear knowledge of the market, in terms of risk and return factor of derivatives.
• The project will further help us in understanding more about pricing strategies and
techniques used in futures and options market.
• It will further enhance our knowledge in terms of futures and options trading.
• Futures are one of the upcoming segments in the Stock market, and knowledge of the
same for trading becomes essential for every trader.
1.4 Methodology:
The methodology to be adopted while executing the project will be as follows.
• Collecting secondary data from websites, analyst reports, annual reports, news articles
and PROWESS.
• Understanding the demand and supply of natural resources and their impact on the
markets as a whole.
• Understanding various fluctuations in markets due to various impacts.
• Understand the relationship between economy and various markets.
• Documenting the findings.
1.5 Limitations:
9
• The required return we will get is only the prediction not the exact one.
• If the market conditions are not fluctuated the calculated returns are true.
2. DERIVATIVES:
Derivatives:
• Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic
variables, called bases (underlying asset, index or reference rate) in a contractual manner.
• The underlying asset can be equity, Forex, commodity or any other asset.
• Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common variants are forwards,
futures, options and swaps.
Hedgers: The objective of these kinds of traders is to reduce the risk. They are not in
the derivatives market to make profits. They are in it to safeguard their existing positions.
Apart from equity markets, hedging is common in the foreign exchange markets where
fluctuations in the exchange rate have to be taken care of in the foreign currency
10
transactions or could be in the commodities market where spiraling oil prices have to be
tamed using the security in derivative instruments.
Speculators: They are traders with a view and objective of making profits. They are
willing to take risks and they bet upon whether the markets would go up or come down.
Arbitrageurs: Riskless Profit Making is the prime goal of Arbitrageurs. Buying in one
market and selling in another, buying two products in the same market are common. They
could be making money even without putting their own money in and such opportunities
often come up in the market but last for very short timeframes. This is because, as soon as
the situation arises arbitrageurs take advantage and demand-supply forces drive the
markets back to normal.

2.5 STRADDLE STRATEGY
It is defined as an options strategy with which the investor holds a position in both a call
and put with the same strike price and expiration date.
Profit or
Put only
• An index straddle involves both index call and index put with both the options having the
same strike price and expiration month.
The long straddle is also known as buy straddle or simply "straddle” is a neutral strategy in
options trading that involve the simultaneously buying of a put and a call of the same underlying
stock, striking price and expiration date.

Long straddles are unlimited profit, limited risk options trading strategies that are used when the
options trader thinks that the underlying securities will experience significant volatility in the
near term.
Large profit is attainable with the long straddle when the underlying stock price makes a strong
move either upwards or downwards at expiration.
Profit Achieved When Price of Underlying > Strike Price of Long Call + Net Premium Paid OR
Price of Underlying < Strike Price of Long Put - Net Premium Paid
Profit = Price of Underlying - Strike Price of Long Call - Net Premium Paid OR Strike Price of
Long Put - Price of Underlying - Net Premium Paid
Limited Risk:
Maximum loss for the long straddle occurs when the underlying stock price on expiration date is
trading at the strike price of the options bought. At this price, both options expire worthless and
the options trader loses the entire initial debit taken to enter the trade.
Max Loss Occurs When Price of Underlying = Strike Price of Long Call/Put
Breakeven Point(s):
There are 2 break-even points for the long straddle. The breakeven points can be calculated using
the following formulae.
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Call + Net Premium Paid
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Put - Net Premium Paid

Case: 1
NIFTY was traded at a price of Rs.4320 in 1st April. An option trader enters a long straddle by
buying an April 4320 put for Rs 63 and an April 4320 call foe Rs 63. The net debit taken to enter
the trade is Rs 126, which is his maximum possible loss. The contract expired on 24th April.
On the day of expiry NIFTY was traded at a price of Rs. 4999. The 63 put was worthless but the
April 63 call expired in the money and had an intrinsic value of Rs 679. Subtracting the debt of
Rs. 126, the long straddle trader got a profit of Rs. 679- Rs. 126 = Rs 553
On expiration in July, if NIFTY stock is still trading at Rs 4320, both the April 63 put and the
April 63 call expire worthless and the long straddle trader suffers a maximum loss which is equal
to the initial debit of Rs 126 taken to enter the trade.
The short straddle is a neutral options strategy that involves the simultaneous selling of a put and
a call of the same underlying stock, striking price and expiration date.
Short straddles are limited profit, unlimited risk options trading strategies that are used when the
options trader thinks that the underlying securities will experience little volatility in the near
term.

Limited Profit:
Maximum profit for the short straddle is achieved when the underlying stock price on expiration
date is trading at the strike price of the options sold. At this price, both options expire worthless
and the options trader gets to keep the entire initial credit taken as profit.
Max Profit Achieved When Price of Underlying = Strike Price of Short Call/Put
Unlimited Risk:
Large losses for the short straddle can be incurred when the underlying stock price makes a
strong move either upwards or downwards at expiration, causing the short call or the short put to
expire deep in the money.
Loss Occurs When Price of Underlying > Strike Price of Short Call + Net Premium Received OR
Price of Underlying < Strike Price of Short Put - Net Premium Received
Loss = Price of Underlying - Strike Price of Short Call - Net Premium Received OR Strike Price
of Short Put - Price of Underlying - Net Premium Received + Commissions Paid
Breakeven Point(s):
There are 2 break-even points for the short straddle. The breakeven points can be calculated
using the following formulae.
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Call + Net Premium Received
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Put - Net Premium Received
Case: 2
NIFTY in options was trading at a price of Rs. 4320 in 1st April. An options trader enters a short
straddle by selling an April 4320 put for 65 and an April 4400 call for 65. The net amount taken
to enter the trade is Rs (65+65) = Rs 130. This is the maximum possible profit
On the date of expiry the value of NIFTY was 4999. The April 65 put expired worthless but the
April 65 call expired in the money and with an intrinsic value of Rs (4999 – 4320) = Rs 599.
Deducting the net of Rs 130, the short straddle trader’s loss was 599- 130= Rs 469
19
On expiration in April, if NIFTY index is still trading at Rs 4400, both the April 65 put and the
April 65 call expire worthless and the short straddle trader gets to keep the entire initial credit of
Rs 130 taken to enter the trade as profit.

4. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION:
Portfolios are held directly by investors or managed by financial professionals. There are 4 basic
steps involved in portfolio construction.
-Security valuation
- Asset allocation
-Portfolio optimization
-Performance measurement
1- Naïve diversification:-
• In this type, securities are selected in a random basis only reduces the risk of a portfolio
to a limited extent.
• When the numbers of securities in a portfolio are 10 of 12, the risk decreases to the level
of systematic risk in the market.
2- Markowitz diversification:-
According to Markowitz, naïve diversification may not reduce the volatility of the rate of return
of a portfolio, if the prices of different securities in the portfolio move in a similar fashion.
21
So effective diversification is achieved only if the securities tend to fluctuate in opposing fashion
that means the portfolio must have some stocks with positive betas and other with negative betas.
The purpose of effective diversification is to significantly reduce the volatility of a portfolios rate
of return.
1. Portfolios of Stocks:
To construct this type of portfolio, first some sectors are selected based on their past
performances, growth prospective.
22
• OPM (Operating Profit Margin) and NPM (Net Profit Margin) registered a decline of 362
basis points and 52 basis points respectively due to higher interest expanded. During
2007, OPM was estimated to be 24.43%, whereas NPM was around 12.78%.
Financial Performance:
Most of the banks are going for branch expansion and ramping up employee base and are
expected to face higher operating expenses in absolute terms.
However, due to efficient management of funds, stronger other income growth and high
proportion of retail loans will see margins reaching higher levels.
Operating Profit Margin (OPM) of banks like Kotak, Axis, Syndicate, BOI, and PNB are
estimated to improve during 2007 as against 2006. OPM of Kotak, Axis, Syndicate, BOI, and
PNB are estimated to be 32.8%, 24.9%, 18.7%, 28% and 21.1% respectively.
• The strong demand for this sector is due to the following reasons:
23
-Increased government focus on infrastructure spending
• Indian economy grew at annual rate of 8.9% during 2007. Higher farm output and
improved growth in the mining sector helped Indian economy to grow at 8.9% despite a
sharp slowdown in manufacturing growth.
• The developing economy and the resulting improvements in income dynamics along with
factors like favorable demographics and spending patterns are driving the
consumption demand.
• With rising income, the consumption has also scaled a new height, giving rise to a new
middle class, with higher aspiration.
• The Indian cement industry is second in the world after China. 95% is consumed
domestically and only 5% is exported.
• Demand is growing at more than 10% per annum. More than 90% of production comes
from large cement plants.
• There are a total of 130 large and more than 350 small cement manufacturing units in
the country.
• Cement industry in India is poised for strong growth, driven by continued investments in
housing and infrastructure.
• The increase in sales was 14% during 2007 compared with 2006. It is mostly contributed
by industry majors like ACC, Ambuja, Grasim and Ultratech.
• Huge investments planned for infrastructure both by government and private sector,
booming housing construction and expansion in corporate production facilities is likely to
fast forward the growth in the Indian cement industry.
• The increase in EBITDA by 11% also shows the operational effectiveness of the cement
industry as a whole. Interest expenses have registered a growth of 6%. Reported PAT has
changed by 13%.
24
Industry Revenue:
• During 2007, the net sales of the oil and gas industry jumped by 6.5% to Rs1, 658,400m
from Rs1, 557,139m in 2006. The price rise of the crude oil has affected all the
downstream players and the government has ordered the upstream players to support
them.
• The operating profit of the industry jumped from Rs145, 343.70m to Rs170, 704.40m, i.e.
a growth of 17.44%, during 2007 with respect to the previous year.
• The operating profit margin also showed an upward trend with an increase from 9.33% to
10.29% compared to the corresponding the previous year. Due to increase in the crude oil
prices, many companies imported less oil. As a result, there was reduction in the costs
associated with raw materials.
• The net profit of the oil and gas industry jumped from Rs102, 147.70m in 2006 to Rs127,
937.90m during 2007, witnessing an increase of 25.24%.
• The NPM of the quarter jumped from 6.56% to 7.71% during 2007 with respect to the
corresponding previous year. There was reduction in the costs associated with
depreciation and the provision for deferred tax was also reduced.
25
• On the other hand, interest and tax expenses are expected to jump by 91 and 317 basis
points.
Sterlite Optical is expected to show the highest increase in net profits as well as a commendable
improvement in margins. This is because of increase in revenue coming from the acquisition of
Power Transmission business from Sterlite Industries (India) Limited. On the contrary, the net
profit for HFCL is expected to decrease by 88%, following which the net profit margin may dip
to 3.8% in 2007 from 14.1% in 2006.
26
• The steel industry now accounts for a capital base of US$22.86 billion and contributes
around 6% to the gross national product, commanding a weight of 5.13 in the Index of
Industrial Production and provides direct employment to more than 0.4m people.
• On the basis of companies taken for projection, a total industry sale for 2007 is estimated
to be Rs353631.88m, with 9% growth on YoY basis.
• India has been growing at a CAGR of more than 9% per annum in spite of infrastructure
constraints.
• This is due to increase in staff and power cost. The NPM decreased by 173.89 basis
points due to increase in interest cost. The Net sales during 2008 are estimated register a
growth of 13% to reach for Rs403647.08m.
• Indian steel production was about 50.72mmt in 2006-07; it grew by 8.93% from 44.54mt
in 2006-07 and consumption recorded a significant growth of 11.56% to reach 46.14mmt.
These achievements indicate that a stable foundation for future development of Indian
steel industry has been laid.
• Import of steel rose by 23.89% from 4.31mmt in 2005-06 to 5.34mmt in 2006-07. Steel
export saw very little increase; it rose by 1.66% from 4.81mmt in 2006-07 to 4.89mmt in
2006-07.
• In India, the per capita consumption of steel is around 33kg as against 242kg in China
and an average of over 400kg in the developed countries. Looking at India's per capita
consumption of steel, one can say that there is room for growth in demand.
• Major growth drivers of steel include automobiles, construction, oil and gas and
consumer durable industry.
• The Government of India anticipates a three-fold rise in steel production capacity to
120m tonne, making India the second-largest steel producer in the world by 2016.
• There is a series of mega projects–either being implemented or in the proposal stage—
which once operational, will re-write the structure of steel industry and its dynamics. The
reform process will further boost the future of the industry.
27
• Pharmaceutical industry witnessed an increase in product approvals; Aurobindo was
leading with highest number of approvals.
• The Indian pharma industry is expected to become a US$11.6 billion opportunity by the
end of 2009.
• The net sales of the pharmaceuticals industry will register a growth of 16% to Rs126,
039m during 2008 compared with corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Industry Revenue:

revenue rose by 23.46% to Rs112, 515.10m in 2007 as against Rs91, 128.25m in 2006.
• The major growth drivers for the industry during 2007 were penetration in geographical
markets to capture generics and increasing contract research and manufacturing
(CRAMS) projects.
• Acquisition of generic brands and launching of new products brought more revenues to
the industry.
• The net profit of the industry witnessed a jump by 16.73% from Rs18, 067.17m in 2006
to Rs21, 093.06m in 2007.

• In this process, an individual must select assets that will generate adequate return to meet
the financial goals at the desired level of risk.
• Asset allocation is dividing the investments between various asset classes such as debt,
equities, insurance, commodity, gold/silver real estate, antiques and art and speculation.
• The principal reason for diversifying investments across different asset classes is to
minimize the risk of a portfolio.
• Once an individual has identified these asset classes, he/she needs to know how to divide
his/her investments in these asset classes. The key considerations in choosing the asset
classes are the level of return and the risk. Liquidity, transaction costs and ease of
investment are the other considerations.
The factors that one should consider in choosing exposures to different asset classes are as
follows:
1. Risk Tolerance:
• Stage in life: A younger person, having a safe livelihood and few dependents, has time on
his/her side can take more risk while choosing a portfolio.
• Net-worth: If one owns lot of assets and have few liabilities i.e. have a high net worth one
can afford to take more risk as one has a cushion of assets that can safeguard one from
short-term losses occurring in due to market fluctuations.
• Experience with investments: If one has prior experience in investing in financial markets
and one is comfortable with short-term fluctuations then one can take more risk and
hence more exposure to equity/real estate.
2. Investment objective: This explains the purpose for which the investments are being made.
Different objectives would demand that one modify their investment portfolio to meet these
goals. Objectives could be:
• A person nearing his/her retirement would want a regular stream of income from the
investment, while preserving the capital value, and should hence choose a safer portfolio.
That means in this case the risk is low, so as the return.
• If one is looking at growth along with preservation of capital, and is investing for a goal
that is very important, such as saving for one's child's education, then one can take some
more risk in pursuit of higher returns.
• If one is looking at high growth and investing for a goal that is not very important then
one can afford to take more risk.
3. Time Horizon: The time for which one would like to hold an investment also impacts the
level of risk that one can undertake.
44
ANALYSIS:
• In first case, investment is equally distributed between all the asset classes. By the help of
their expected return of asset classes, the return on portfolio is 17.14%.
• In second case, instead of putting Rs 50,000 in debt only Rs 10,000 is invested and the
rest amount is put in equity to increase the return on portfolio. After this the return on
portfolio is 18.28%.
• In third case, the investment in asset class reality and speculation has increased by Rs
20,000 each. Now the return on portfolio has become 18.91%.
• In the fourth case, the amount of investment has been increased in the asset classes giving
higher returns and the return on portfolio is 19.92% nearly equals to 20%.
In this way, we can maximize our return by investing more in the asset classes of higher returns
and with this our risk profile of the portfolio also be increased.

SECURITIES
• The funds that are collected from the investors are in turn invested in a portfolio of
marketable securities and the value of the portfolio is updated every day.
• The investor’s share is denominated in units. The value of units changes with the change
in the portfolio’s value, every day. The value of one unit of investment is called Net Asset Value
or NAV.
• The investment portfolio of mutual fund is created according to the stated investment
objectives of the fund.
The following are the parameters used in analyzing a fund and its management: -
A- Total Return
B- Portfolio Turnover
D- Good Performers
49
F- Cash Flows
The net asset value is the market value of the assets of the scheme minus its liabilities.
The following are the methods for computing the returns on mutual fund products:
It is an absolute measure of return, which funds the NAV appreciation between two points of
time, as a percentage. For e.g. if the NAV of a fund was Rs. 46.90 at the beginning and Rs. 55.30
at the end of the year, the percentage change in NAV
= 17.91%
The total return method takes into account the dividends distributed by the mutual funds and adds
it to the NAV appreciation to arrive at returns.
Suppose an investor bought units of a mutual fund scheme at a price of Rs. 12.45 per unit. The
face value of the unit is Rs. 10. He redeems the investment a year later at Rs. 14.80 per unit.
During the year he also receives a dividend at 5%. The rate of return can be computed as follows:
-
50
= 22.89%
= [(Value of holdings at the end of the period / Value of Holdings at the beginning of the
period) – 1] X 100
Value of holdings at the beginning of the period = Number of units at the beginning X Beginning
NAV
Value of holdings at the end of the period = (Number of units held at the beginning + number of
units reinvested) X NAV at the end
Example: - an investor buys 75 units of a fund at Rs. 9.5 on Jan. 1, 2001. On June 30, 2001 he
receives dividends at the rate of 10%. The ex-dividend NAV was Rs. 10.25. On December 31,
2001 the fund’s NAV was Rs. 11.25
51
4.) Cost of Ownership
I have considered the above points in making my portfolio on mutual funds. I have taken the
schemes based on their NAV, Corpus, one year return and launch date.
Form the launch date, we get to know the consistency of the scheme and its performance, from
corpus it can be predicted that how much capital they are managing and from their one year’s
return it can be obtained that what is their annual return, does it provide return more than any
other scheme and what is amount of risk involved in it.

• Stock futures were introduced in November 2001 and Index futures were in June 2000.
• Though Index Futures were introduced earlier as compare to Stock Futures, but the no. of
trading and turnover is more in Stock Futures.
• We can say that Index future trading is much more liquid than Stock Future trading.

6. FINDINGS IN DERIVATIVES:
• From the above comparison we can see that people are trading more in the future than the
options. The gap between futures and options has increased and keeps on increasing.
• The reason behind this is the more liquidity in case of futures than options.
• People in futures have equal right and obligation to perform which makes the trading
more in volume and value. While in options, one party that means buyer is stronger and
the other that the seller is weaker. That’s why volume of trading is less.
• Between cash market and derivative market we can see that the volume is much more in
derivatives as comparison to cash market. This is because of the leverage in derivatives
segment. Though it is introduced much later, but the growth is much faster than cash
market.
• The total trade value has increased tremendously in last 1 year. This shows that more
number of people is trading in stock market.
• With the increase in turnover, the number of contracts also increased in the last year.
• Allocate your assets to obtain the desired portfolio characteristics to suit your distinct
investor profile.
• Select individual securities and build a portfolio for each of the asset class under
consideration.
65
• Observe a few Do’s and Don’ts of Investing.
7. CONCLUSION:
Although the financial derivatives market is growing much faster speed, but there are also many
investors, don’t have any idea regarding this segment.
In this vast area of derivatives, a considerable amount of work is yet to be done to inculcate
more interest of investors in derivatives. The regulation and settlement procedure of derivatives
not be simplified. That means it can’t be said that even today the derivatives market has reached
the stage of perfection. An increase number of innovations are entering into the financial
derivatives market but the imperfection in the market is still increasing. Such barriers demand for
increasing role of regulations in the financial market, which can bring success that is yet awaited.
In derivative segment, I have explained the straddle strategy how it can minimize the risk of the
investor.
Here, I have made portfolio for stocks, mutual funds and portfolio on asset allocation. For stocks
and mutual funds I have also constructed conservative (the low risk taker investor), semi-
aggressive (medium risk taker investors) and aggressive (the high risk taker investors). I have
considered the return objective of the investor and the risk taking capacity of him before
constructing the portfolio.
