5. WHY DERIVATIVES ???
6. WHY DERIVATIVESEARN MONEY WITHOUT PHYSICAL SETTLEMENTHelps in taking advantage of price fluctuations in the short term.Allows you to conduct transactions without actually selling your shares.MARGIN BASED TRADING (ARBITRAGE)When you buy low in one market and sell high in the other market, it called arbitrage trading. Simply put, you are taking advantage of differences in prices in the two markets.HEDGING AGAINST PRICE FLUCTUATIONSThe derivative market offers products that allow you to hedge yourself against a fall in the price of shares that you possess. It also offers products that protect you from a rise in the price of shares that you plan to purchase.TRANSFER OF RISKThe most important use of these derivatives is the transfer of market risk from risk-averse investors to those with an appetite for risk. Risk-averse investors use derivatives to enhance safety, while risk-loving investors like speculators conduct risky, contrarian trades to improve profits. This way, the risk is transferred.
7. PLAYERS IN DERIVATIVE MARKET
8. ARBITRAGEURSPrice difference between two different markets is exploited.Trader simultaneously buys an asset at a cheaper rate from one market and sells it at a higher price in another market.Low Risk TradeAvailable only for a brief periodExample :- The cash market price of ABC Ltd is trading at Rs.100 per share, but is quoting at Rs. 102 in the future market. An arbitrageur would buy 100 shares at Rs. 100 in the cash market & simultaneously, sell 100 shares at Rs. 102 in Future markets, thereby making a profit of Rs. 2 per share.
9. HEDGERSHedging means buying insurance in order to minimize the risk.HEDGER - Investor/trader who wants to protect himself from unfavorable price movements.Limits exposure to risk by creating an exact opposite position in derivatives marketExample :- If you buy homeowner's insurance, you are hedging yourself against fires, break-ins, or other unforeseen disasters.
10. SPECULATORSWilling to take high risk in the anticipation of making higher gains in a short span of timeBuy stocks with the expectation that the price will rise, and hope to eventually sell stocks at a higher levelPossibilities of either making large profit or losing principal amountExample :- If a speculator feels that the price of ABC company is likely to fall in a few days due to some upcoming market developments, he would short sell the ABC company’s share in a derivatives market. If the stock price falls as expected, then he would make a good profit depending on his holding. However, if stock prices go up against the expectation, then his loss would be equivalent.
