Optimal Hedge Ratio:

S
h

Where
S is the standard deviation of S, the change in the spot price during the hedging period
F is the standard deviation of F, the change in the futures price during the hedging period
is the coefficient of correlation between S and F

Optimal number of contracts

Negative sign of (N*) indicates shorting the contracts

Determination of Forward Price
The price of a forwards contract is given by the equation below:
F0 = S0ert in the case of continuously compounded risk free interest rate, r
F0 = S0(1+r )t in the case of annual risk free interest rate, r
Where:
F0: forward price
S0: Spot price
t: time of the contract
Known income from underlying
If the underlying asset on which the forward contract is entered into provides an income with a present
value, I, then the forward contract would be valued as:
F0 = (S0 I )ert
Known yield from underlying
If the underlying asset on which the forward contract is entered into provides a continuously compounded
yield, q, then the forward contract would be valued as:
F0 = S0e(r-q)t
q: continuously % of return on the asset divided by the total asset price

Value of forward contracts
At the time on entering into a forward contract, long or short, the value of the forward is zero
This is because the delivery price (K) of the asset and the forward price today (F0) remains the same
The value of the forward is basically the present value of the difference in the delivery price and the forward price
Value of a long forward, f, is given by the PV of the pay off at time T:
= (F0 K )erT
K is fixed in the contract, while F0 keeps changing on an everyday basis
For continuous dividend yielding underlying

f = S0e-qt Ke-rt
For discrete dividend paying stock
f = S0 I Ke-rt
Index futures: A stock index can be considered as an asset that pays dividends and the dividends paid are the
dividends from the underlying stocks in the index
If q is the dividend yield rate then the futures price is given as:
F0= S0e(r-q)t
Index Arbitrage
When F0 > S0e(r-q)T an arbitrageur buys the stocks underlying the index and sells futures
When F0 < S0e(r-q)T an arbitrageur buys futures and shorts or sells the stocks underlying the index

Formula to remember:
If Spot rate is given in USD/INR terms then take American Risk-free rate as the first rate
In other words, individual who is interested in USD/INR rates would be an American (Indian will
always think in Rupees not dollars!!!!!), which implies foreign currency (rf) in his case would be rINR
( rUSD rINR )T
FUSD S
USD e
INR INR

The Cost of Carry
The cost of carry, c, is the storage cost plus the interest costs less the income earned
For an investment asset F0 = S0ecT
For a consumption asset F0 S0ecT
The convenience yield on the consumption asset, y, is defined so that: F0 = S0 e(cy )T

Calculation of interest rates
Amount compounded annually would be given by:

A = P (1+ r)t
A terminal amount
P principal amount
r annual rate of interest
t number of years for which the principal is invested
If amount compounded n times a year then:
A = P ( 1+ r/n )nt
When n then we call it continuous compounding:
A = Pert (this formula is derived using limits and continuity)

Bond pricing
The price of a bond is the present value of all the coupon payment and the final principal payment received at the end
of its life
T
B Ce rt Pe rT
t 1

B the bond price 1
(1 YTM) n 1
C coupon payment B I F
r zero interest rate at time t YTM (1 YTM) n
P bond principal
T time to maturity
The yield of a bond is the discount rate (applied to all future cash flows) at which the present value of the bond is
equal to its market price
Yield to Maturity = Investors Required Rate of Return
The par yield is the coupon rate at which the present value of the cash flows equal to the par value (principal value) of
the bond
If we are looking at a semi-annual 5 year coupon bond with a par value of $100 then the coupon payment would be
solved using the following equation:

Convexity
Convexity is a measure of the curvature of the price / yield relationship

C
B dy 2
Note that this is the second partial derivative of the bond valuation equation w.r.t. the yield
Hence, convexity is the rate of change of duration with respect to the change in yield
Bond price ($)
P* Actual bond price
Tangent
Y* Yield

Convexity
The convexity of the price / YTM graph reveals two important insights:
The price rise due to a fall in YTM is greater than the price decline due to a rise in YTM, given an
identical change in the YTM
For a given change in YTM, bond prices will change more when interest rates are low than when they
are high

Calculating Bond Price Changes
We can approximate the change in a bonds price for a given change in yield by using
duration and convexity:

Theories of the Term Structure
Three theories are used to explain the (1 ilt ) n (1 ist
year 1
)(1 ist
year 2
)...(1 ist
yearn
)
shape of the term structure
Expectations theory
The long rate is the geometric mean of
expected future short interest rates
Liquidity preference theory
year 1 year 2 yearn
Investors must be paid a liquidity (1 ilt ) n rpn (1 ist )(1 ist )...(1 ist )
premium to hold less liquid, long-term
Where rpn is the risk premium associated
debt
with an n year bond
Market segmentation theory
Investors decide in advance whether they
want to invest in short term or the long
term
Distinct markets exist for securities of
short term bonds and long term bonds
Supply demand conditions decide the
prices
Day count conventions
Day count defines the way in which interest is accrued over time. Day count conventions normally
used in US are:
Actual / actual treasury bonds
30 / 360 corporate bonds
Actual/360 money market instruments
The interest earned between two dates
(Number of days between dates)*(Interest earned in reference period)

=
(Number of days in reference period)

Cheapest to deliver bond
The party with the short position can chose to deliver the cheapest bond when it comes to
delivery, hence he would chose the cheapest to deliver bond
Net pay out for delivery ( he has to buy a bond and deliver it):
Quoted bond price (settlement price * conversion factor)

DV01 Application to hedging
Hedge ratio is calculated using DV01 with the help of following relation
DVO1( per$100 of initial position)

HR
DV 01( per$100 of hedging instrument)

Duration based hedging strategies
Number of contracts to hedge is given by the equation:
PDP
N*
FC DF
FC Contract price for interest rate futures

DF Duration of asset underlying futures at maturity
P Value of portfolio being hedged
DP Duration of portfolio at hedge maturity

Key Rate 01 and Key Rate Durations
Key Rate 01 measures the dollar change in the value of the bond for every basis point shift
in the key rate
Key Rate 01 = (-1/10,000) * (Change in Bond Value/0.01%)
Key rate duration provides the approximate percentage change in the value of the bond
Key Rate Duration = (-1/BV) * (Change in Bond Value/Change in Key rate)

Vega
The Vega of a derivative portfolio is the rate of change of the value of the portfolio with the change in
the volatility of the underlying assets. It can be expressed as:
V=
, where is the value of the portfolio, and is the volatility in the price of the underlying.

For European options on a stock that does not pay dividends, Vega can be found by:
V=S0

Rho
Rho of a portfolio of options is the rate of change of its value with respect to changes in the
interest rate

Rho = r
, where is the value of the portfolio, and r is the rate of interest
For European options on non dividend paying stocks, we have;
Rho (call) = KTe-rTN(d2), where the symbols carry their usual meanings
Also, Rho (put) = -KTe-rTN(-d2), the symbols carrying their usual meanings

Valuation of swaps
Hence the value of the swap can be given as:
V = Bfix Bfl
Where:
Bfix = PV of payments
Bfl = (P+AI)e-rt
Value of a floating bond is equal to the par value at coupon reset dates and equals to the Present
Value of Par values (P) and Accrued Interest (AI)

Commodity Forwards
Commodity forward prices can be described using the same formula as used for financial
forward prices
( r ) T
F 0 , T S 0 e
For financial assets, is the dividend yield
For commodities, is the commodity lease rate
The lease rate is the return that makes an investor willing to buy and lend a commodity
Some commodities (metals) have an active leasing market
Lease rates can typically only be estimated by observing forward prices

Futures term structure
The set of prices for different expiration dates for a given commodity is called the forward
curve (or the forward strip) for that date
If on a given date the forward curve is upward-sloping, then the market is in contango
If the forward curve is downward sloping, the market is in backwardation
Note that forward curves can have portions in backwardation and portions in contango
(r )T
F0,T S0e
Since r is always positive, assets with =0 display upward sloping (contango) futures term structure
With >0, term structures could be upward or downward sloping

Commodity loan
With the addition of the lease payment, NPV of loaning the commodity is 0
The lease payment is like the dividend payment that has to be paid by the person who
borrowed
a stock
Therefore:
F0 ,T S 0 e ( r )T
Where is lease rate

Forward Prices and the Lease Rate
The lease rate has to be consistent with the forward price

Therefore, when we observe the forward price, we can infer what the lease rate would have
to be if a lease market existed
The annualized lease rate

Storage Costs and Forward Prices
One will only store a commodity if the PV of selling it at time T is at least as great as that of
selling it today
Whether a commodity is stored is peculiar to each commodity
If storage is to occur, the forward price is at least
Where (0,T) is the future value of storage costs for one unit of the commodity from time 0
to T
F0 ,T S 0 e rT (0,T )

Storage Costs and Forward Prices (contd)
Convenience Yield
Some holders of a commodity receive benefits from physical ownership (e.g., a commercial user)
This benefit is called the commoditys convenience yield
The convenience yield creates different returns to ownership for different investors, and may or may
not be reflected in the forward price
Convenience and leasing
If someone lends the commodity they save storage costs, but lose the convenience
Stated as ( c)
Therefore, commodity borrower pays a lease rate that covers the lost convenience less the storage
costs:
=c

Pricing with convenience
So, if:
F0 ,T S 0 e ( r )T
And if, = c
Then, F0,T = S0e(r+ -c)T

No-Arbitrage with Convenience
From the perspective of an arbitrageur, the price range within which there is no arbitrage is:
( r c )T ( r )T
S0 e F0 ,T S 0 e
Where c is the continuously compounded convenience yield
The convenience yield produces a no-arbitrage range rather than a no-arbitrage price. Why?
There may be no way for an average investor to earn the convenience yield when engaging
in arbitrage

Portfolio Variance for two asset portfolio
For two-asset portfolio
Var(wAkA+ wBkB) = wA2 A2 + wB2 B2 + 2 wA wB A B AB
Where is correlation coefficient between A and B

wA ,wB are weights of the asset A and B
If =1
Var(wAkA + wBkB) = (wAA + wBB)2
If <1
Var(wAkA+ wBkB) < (wAA+ wBB)2
So there is a risk reduction from holding a portfolio of assets if assets do not move in
perfect unison

Correlation and Portfolio Diversification
Perfect Positive Correlation
=1 & Var (wAkA+ wBkB)= (wAA + wBB)2
Perfect Negative Correlation

=-1 & Var (wAkA + wBkB) = (wAA - wBB)2
Zero Correlation
Correlation between two assets is zero
Moderate Positive Correlation

Correlation between two assets lies between 0 and 1

Some definitions and properties of Probability
Definitions
Mutually Exclusive: If one event occurs, then other cannot occur
Exhaustive: All exhaustive events taken together form the complete sample space (Sum of probability = 1)
Independent Events: One event occurring has no effect on the other event
The probability of any event A:

P( A) [0,1]
If the probability of happening of event A is P(A), then the probability of A not happening is
(1-P(A))
For example, if the probability of a company going bankrupt within one year period is 20%, then
the probability of company surviving within next one year period is 80%
P( A) 1 P( A)

Sum Rule & Bayes Theorem
The unconditional probability of event B is equal to the sum of joint probabilities of event (A,B)
and the probability of event (A,B). Here A is the probability of not happening of A
The joint probability of events A and B is the product of conditional probability of B, given A has occurred
and the unconditional probability of event A
P( B) P( A B) P( Ac B) P( B / A) P( A) P( B / Ac ) P( Ac )
We know that P(AB) = P(B/A) * P(A)
Also P(BA)= P(A/B) * P(B)
Now equating both P(AB) and P(BA) we get: P( B / A) * P( A)
P( A / B)
P( B)
P(B) can be further broken down using sum rule defined above:
P( B / A) P( A)
P( A / B)
P( B / A) P( A) P( B / Ac ) P( Ac )

Geometric Mean
Geometric Mean: is calculated as:
G n X 1 X 2 X 3 ... X n
Where there are n observations and each observation is Xi
Compound Annual Growth Rate(CAGR): Its the geometric mean of the returns

Properties of Expectation
E(cX) = E(X) x c
E(X+Y) = E(X) + E(Y)
E(X2) [E(X)]2
E(XY) = E(X) x E(Y) [if X and Y are independent]

Variance & Standard deviation
Variance is the squared dispersion around the mean.

Covariance & correlation
Covariance describes the co-movement between 2 random numbers, given as:
Cov(X1, X2) = 12
Cov( X , Y ) E[( X X )(Y Y )]

Cov( X , Y ) E ( XY ) X Y
Correlation coefficient is a unit-less number, which gives a measure of linear dependence
between two random variables.
(X1, X2) = Cov(X1, X2) / 12
Correlation coefficient always lies in the range of +1 to -1
A correlation of 1 means that the two variables always move in the same direction
A correlation of -1 means that the two variables always move in opposite direction
If the variables are independent, covariance and correlation are zero, but vice versa
is not true

Some Properties of Variance

Skewness can be negative or positive. Symmetric Distribution
Negative skewness indicates that the distribution

has a long left tail, which indicates a high probability
of observing large negative values.
Negatively Skewed Distribution
If this represents the distribution of profits and

losses for a portfolio, this is a dangerous situation.
Positively Skewed Distribution

Kurtosis
Kurtosis describes the degree of flatness of a distribution, or width of its tails

One method to find b0 and b1
Method of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)

b0 and b1 are obtained by finding the values of b0 and b1 that minimize the sum of the
squared residuals

e 2
(y y ) 2
(y (b 0 b 1 x)) 2

OLS regression properties
The sum of the residuals from the least squares regression line is 0
( y y ) 0
The sum of the squared residuals is a minimum
Minimize ( ( y y ) 2 )
The simple regression line always passes through the mean of the y variable and the mean
of the x variable
The least squares coefficients are unbiased estimates of 0 and 1

The least squares equation
The formulas for b1 and b0 are:
b1
( x x )( y y )
(x x) 2
Algebraic equivalent: And

Interpretation of the Slope and the Intercept
b0 is the estimated average value of y when the value of x is zero. More often than not it
does not have a physical interpretation
b1 is the estimated change in the average value of y as a result of a one-unit change in x

variable that is explained by variation in the independent variable
The coefficient of determination is also called R-squared and is denoted as R2

Multiple Regression
Using more than one explanatory variable in a regression model

Y = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2 + b3X3 + uI
Omitted variable bias

The biasness incurred due to omission of one or more explanatory variable from the model.
Omitted variable bias occurs when two conditions are met:

Omitted variables are correlated with the independent variable
Variables that are not accounted for in the model but affect the dependent variable

Multiple Regression Basics
General Multiple Linear Regression model take the following form:
Yi b0 b1 X 1i b2 X 2 i ......... bk X ki i
Where:
Yi = ith observation of dependent variable Y
Xki = ith observation of kth independent variable X
b0 = intercept term
bk = slope coefficient of kth independent variable
i = error term of ith observation
n = number of observations
k = total number of independent variables

Estimated Regression Equation
As we calculated the intercept and the slope coefficient in case of simple linear regression
by minimizing the sum of squared errors, similarly we estimate the intercept and slope
coefficient in multiple linear regression
n
Sum of Squared Errors i

is minimized and the slope coefficient is estimated.
i 1
The resultant estimated equation becomes:

Yi b0 b1 X 1i b 2 X 2 i ......... b k X ki
Now the error in the ith observation can be written as:
i Yi Yi Yi b0 b1 X 1i b2 X 2 i ......... bk X ki


Estimation of Volatility
Let xi be the continuously compounded return during day i (between the end of day
i-1 and end of day I)
Let n be the volatility of the return on day n as estimated at the end of day n-1
Variance estimate for next day is usually calculated as:
variance = average squared deviation from average return over last n days
x
n
2
i x
Variance i 1
n 1
Mean of returns (x-bar) is usually zero, especially if returns are over short-time period
(say, daily returns). In that case, variance estimate for next day is nothing but simple average (equally
weighted average) of previous n days squared returns
n
x

i
Variance i 1
n 1
What if the volatility is dependent on the values of volatility observed in the recent past?
What if they also depend on the latest returns?

EWMA Model
In an exponentially weighted moving average model, the weights assigned to the u 2 decline
exponentially as we move back through time
This leads to: 2n 2n 1 (1 ) u n2 1
Apply the recursive relationship:

n2 n2 2 (1 ) u n2 2 (1 ) u n21
n2 (1 ) u n21 u n2 2 2 n2 2
Hence we have
m i 1 2
2
n (1 ) u n i m 2
nm
i 1
Variance estimate for next day (n) is given by (1-) weight to recent squared return and weight to the previous
variance estimate
Risk-metrics (by JP Morgan) assumes a Lambda of 0.94

EWMA Model
Since returns are squared, their direction is not considered. Only the magnitude is considered
In EWMA, we simply need to store 2 data points: latest return & latest volatility estimate
Consider the equation: t21 (1 0.94) t2 0.94 t2
In this equation, variance for time t was also an estimate. So we can substitute for it as follows:
t21 (1 0.94) t2 0.94(1 0.94) t21 0.94 t21
t21 0.06 * t2 0.94 * 0.06 * t21 (0.94 * 0.94 t21 )
What are the weights for old returns and variance?

is called Persistence factor or even Decay Factor. Higher gives more weight to older data (impact
of older data is allowed to persist). Lower gives higher weight to recent data (i.e. previous data
impacts are not allowed to persist)
Higher means higher persistence or lower decay
Since, (1- ) is weight given to latest square return, it is called Reactive factor

GARCH (1,1)
GARCH stands for Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity

Heteroscedasticity means variance is changing with time.
Conditional means variance is changing conditional on latest volatility.
Autoregressive refers to positive correlation between volatility today and volatility yesterday.
(1,1) means that only the latest values of the variables.
GARCH model recognizes that variance tends to show mean reversion i.e. it gets pulled to
a long-term Volatility rate over time.

Simulating a Price Path
S is the stock price,

S
t
is the expected return,
t is the standard deviation of returns,
S "t" is time, and
is the random variable
Drift Shock
The first step in simulating a price path is to choose a random process to model changes in
financial assets
Stock prices and exchange rates are modeled by geometric Brownian motion (GBM) shown
in the above equation

ZX% : the normal distribution value for the given probability (x%) (normal distribution has mean as 0 and
standard deviation as 1)
: standard deviation (volatility) of the asset (or portfolio)
VAR in absolute terms is given as the product of VAR in % and Asset Value:
VAR VARX % (in %) * Asset Value
This can also be written as:
VAR Z X % * * Asset Value

Measuring Value-at-Risk (VAR)
VAR for n days can be calculated from daily VAR as:
VaR (n days) (in %) VaR (daily VaR) (in %) * n
This comes from the known fact that the n-period volatility equals 1-period volatility multiplied by
the square root of number of periods(n).
VaR (n days) (in %) ZX% * * Asset Value * n
As the volatility of the portfolio can be calculated from the following expression:
portfolio wa2 a2 w 2b b2 2w a w b * a * b * ab
The above written expression can also be extended to the calculation of VAR:
VaR portfolio (in %) wa2 (%VARa ) 2 w 2b (%VARb ) 2 2w a w b * (%VARa ) * (%VARb ) * ab

Expected Loss (EL)
EL = (Assured payment at Maturity Time T )* Loss Given Default * (Probability that the default
occurs before maturity Time T)
The term Assured payment is more relevant for bonds than loans
For Bank Loans the terms Assured Payment is better replaced by Exposure
EL = Exposure * LGD*PD
EL is the amount the bank can lose on an average over a period of time

Adjusted Exposure
Let the value of bank asset at time T be V
Let the already drawn amount be OS (outstanding)
Let COM be the commitment
Let d be the fraction of the commitment which would be drawn before the default
Portion which is not drawn and risk free = COM*(1-d)
Risky portion = OS + d*COM
This Risky Portion is known as Adjusted Exposure also known as Exposure At Default
EL = Adjusted Exposure*LGD*PD
d is also known as Usage Given Default (UGD)

Causes of Unanticipated Risk
Two Primary Sources
The occurrence of defaults (PD)
PD is never zero for any rating
PD is calculated using historical data or Analytical methods like Option theory
Unexpected Credit Migration unanticipated change in credit quality

An obligor undergoes financial crisis which deteriorates the credit quality although it is not a default

Unexpected Loss
UL is the estimated volatility of the potential loss in value of the asset around its EL
UL is the standard deviation of the unconditional value of the asset at the time horizon
UL = s.d. of expected asset value
UL = AE*[EDF* 2LGD +LGD2* 2EDF ]
Underlying assumption that EDF is independent of LGD. In case it is not so then correlation between LGD
and EDF terms will come into picture. Though it has been found that they will affect the result only slightly
