COURSE DESCRIPTION
Risk management is crucial for optimal portfolio management. Derivatives used in financial
risk management have become increasingly important in the world of finance. The notional
turnover of derivatives market has grown exponentially across the globe due to sharp
volatility in the prices of different assets like; commodities, currencies and securities.
Therefore, a careful study of derivative securities has become very important, for a financial
analyst. Derivatives can be used for hedging i.e. to mitigate the risk of economic loss arising
from changes in the value of the underlying asset. Alternatively, derivatives can also be used
by investors for speculation i.e.to increase the profit arising if the value of the underlying
moves in the direction they expect.
The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive analysis on the features of
forwards, futures, options and swaps and to offer a framework within which all derivatives
can be valued and hedged.

ANNEXURE – I
(CASE ANALYSIS)

CASE ANALYSIS STRUCTURE:

Cases are to be discussed in class. Most cases do not have "right" answers. Being "right" or
"wrong" should not be of your concern, when participating - or deciding whether to make a
comment. Don’t be afraid to disagree with comments by your fellow students (or facilitators’
comments, for that matter). If there is complete agreement on case solutions, then something
is wrong! Critical discussion and disagreement are to be expected and encouraged.

Groups will be formed at the beginning of the term. A case brief (as word document) by each
group has to be prepared. Case briefs should not be less than six pages:

A suggested structure for a case brief: (1) details of background knowledge required for
solving the case - one page (2) case back ground – half page (3) various levels of problem
identified in the case – one page (4) details of your analysis and your interpretations – 2
pages (5) specific recommendations and implementation – one page (6) final conclusion –
half page.
Exhibits, figures, and numerical calculations should be attached on separate pages.(if
necessary).
In case solving, the groups are expected to apply the knowledge of strategic management and
its related subject knowledge, as well as all other necessary skills, to decide how to resolve
the problem identified in the case. The group can use necessary assumptions in solving the
case. The assumptions have to be strongly supported by logical explanations. Be specific and
assertive.
The groups are expected to come prepared with their own case analysis kept ready for
presentation. The presentation should cover understanding of the problems, analysis,
comments and conclusions. Any one or entire group randomly called to make presentation.
The prepared case brief (word file) and presentation (power point file) have to be submitted
to the course facilitator on or before the scheduled time.
The presentation and case discussion mark (for the group) will be provided only on the
performance of the member who presents it.
Each group shall go through the case, analyse (with respect to concepts learned so far and
questions posed at the end of the case) and prepare a case write up. Each group has to submit
a two pages’ case write up. Marks will be given based on case write up and viva-voce. Every
group is expected to prepare the allotted case in-depth.

Assignment (Financial Derivatives Game)-10 Marks

Derivatives game must be done in a group. Students are expected to form in groups as per
their convenience by ensuring the diversity in the group.

Each group needs to construct a portfolio by selecting a bunch of derivative products. The
available notional capital for investment is Rs.10,00,000. The amount invested will be based
on closing prices. A hard copy and soft copy with excel sheet of the portfolio has to be
submitted to the course facilitator. A group is allowed to revise their portfolio 3 times on or
before the final day of submission. All the revision has to be made after the market hours and
has to be submitted to the facilitator through a soft/hard copy by mentioning the reasons for
revision of the portfolio. On any revision made in the portfolio, the closing price existing on
the day of revision will be counted as the traded price. Use excel sheet ‘Portfolio
Construction using Derivatives’ for portfolio construction and ‘Portfolio Revision 1, 2, and 3’
for portfolio revisions. The students are expected to name the files with appropriate section,
group, and revision details before submitting the file. The evaluation will be based on
rationality adopted in portfolio construction and revision, selection of derivative products,
justification/valid reason for product selection, strategy used in portfolio construction, and
returns earned during the period. All the groups have to maintain the spirit of the game and
try to maximize the return.

*Keep your investment strategy very confidential and do not discuss with any of the other
group members.

Submission Procedure:

12
The portfolio should be constructed and the copy of the same should be submitted within 10
working days after commencement of first class. The three allowed revisions can be made
and copy of the same should be submitted as and when it has been done. The game would
come to an end two sessions before the last class. The groups are expected to make the
presentation in the scheduled slots.

The portfolio document should consist of the financial derivative (stock options and futures)
products that the group has chosen the prices at which they bought and expected price rise
level, the basis for selection, and the expected returns that the portfolio generates. The brief
details of the derivative products chosen for risk management and key financial details should
also be included.

Note : Submission dates will be finalized after having discussion with the students in the
class.

The following aspects should be taken care by the groups while constructing the portfolio.

1. No short selling.
2. The groups can buy financial derivative products (which are listed in exchanges and
having liquidity)
3. No foreign exchange transactions.
4. No positions in the foreign stock exchanges
5. No commodity derivatives
6. No intraday trading.
