Risk Management:
Management of unpredictable events that have adverse
impacts for the firm.

3 steps of Risk Management:


Identify the risks faced by the firm/company.
Measure the potential impacts of these risks.
Decide how each relevant risk should be dealt with.

Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA


©All rights reserved
Risk exposures can be dealt with by following
techniques:
Transfer the risk to an insurance company.
Transfer the risky function to a third party.
Purchase derivatives contracts.
Reduce the probability of occurrence of an adverse
event.
Reduce the magnitude of the loss.
Totally avoid the activity that gives rise to the risk.

Business Risk:
The riskiness inherent in the firm’s operations if it uses no
debt.

Financial Risk:
An increase in shareholder/equity holders’ risk over the
firm’s basic business risk, resulting from the use of debt
(financial leverage or gearing).

Some common types of risk:
 Credit risk
 Foreign investment risk
 Liquidity
 Asset liquidity
 Funding liquidity
 Market risk
 Equity Risk is the risk that stock prices in general (not related to a particular
company or industry) or the implied volatility will change.
 Interest Rate Risk is the risk that  interest rates  or the implied volatility will change.
 Currency Risk is the risk that foreign exchange rates or the implied volatility will
change, which affects, for example, the value of an asset held in that currency.
 Commodity Risk is the risk that commodity prices (e.g. corn, copper, crude oil) or
implied volatility will change.

Hedge:
Hedge is a transaction that reduces risk.
 
Hedging:
Hedging is a method for reducing risk where a combination
of assets are selected to offset the movements of each other.
For example, when investing in a stock it is possible to buy
an option to sell that stock at a defined price at some point
in the future. The combined portfolio of stock and option is
now much less likely to move below a given value. As in
diversification there is a cost, this time in buying the option
for which there is a premium. Derivatives are used
extensively to mitigate many types of risk.

Derivatives
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are determined by
the market price or interest rate of some other asset or security.

Derivatives are used for:


Hedging purpose (manage Business or Financial risk)
Speculation purpose (to make gain or loss)

Some examples of Derivative instruments:


Forward contracts
Futures contracts
Options
Structured notes
Inverse floaters
Swaps. Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA
©All rights reserved
Forward contract:
A contract under which one party agrees to buy a commodity
on a specific future date at a specific price agreed today and
the other party agrees to make the sell.

**Here physical delivery occurs.


 
**Forwards are tailor made contracts.

Binding agreement between counterparties


1st Party Create obligation 2nd Party

(Diagram: Forward contract- two parties)

Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA


©All rights reserved
Futures contract:
Standardized contracts that are traded on exchanges and are ‘marked to market’ daily.
 
Like a forward contract, a future contract also specifies the price today for a future cash
transaction.

There are two separate markets:


The ‘underlying asset’ market.
The ‘Future’ market.
 
Physical delivery of the goods takes place in the spot market, not in the Future market.

In the Future market, the opening contract (buy/sell) is eventually cancelled by an
opposing contract (sell/buy).

Futures are traded or exchanged contract.

Mechanism of Future trading:
Determine the number of contracts using today’s spot
price.
Buy/sell contracts at today’s Future price.
Close the position (sell/buy) at the Future price on
transaction date.
Calculate gain/loss in the Future market.
Final transaction at the spot price on transaction date.
Net off overall position (gain/loss) on transaction date.

Main elements of Future transactions:
The contract size.
The contract price.
The settlement date.
The initial margin.
Basis.
Hedge efficiency.

‘Forward’ and ‘Future’ contract reduce
both the ‘downward risk (Risk)’ and
‘upward potential (opportunity)’.

This limitation can be overcome by


‘Option Contract’.

Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA


©All rights reserved
Option Contract:
Option is a contract that gives its holder the right (not obligation) to buy
or sell something (asset or security) at a predetermined price within a
specific period of time.
 
**Main differences of ‘Option’ from Forwards and Futures are:

 Forwards and Futures are obligatory contract, and they reduce both the
Risk and Opportunity.

 Options are optional contract (not obligatory) at the option of the


holder, and they reduce only the Risk.
 
Options can be:
Negotiated or tailor made or OTC (over the counter) options,
Traded options.
Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA

Options Terminology:
Call option: A right to buy a specified number of shares or asset.

Put option: A right to sell a specified number of shares or asset.

Exercise Price or Strike Price: The price that must be paid for when an option is
exercised.

In the money: An option is said to be in the money when, if it is exercised today,
a profit would be made.

Out of the money: An option is said to be out of the money when, if it is


exercised today, a loss would be made.

At the money: An option is said to be at the money if the exercise price equals
the underlying assetPrepared
or security price.

Option Premium:
Option writer takes all the risks of an option contract in exchange of
Premium. It is similar to ‘Insurance premium’ in an Insurance
contract.

Option premium is the ‘price’ or ‘cost’ or ‘value’ of an option.

**Premium = Intrinsic value + Time value

Value of an Option depends upon the following factors:


Current underlying asset or security price.
Exercise price of the option.
Volatility of the underlying asset or security price.
Time to expiration of the option.
Risk free rate of the interest.

Exchange rate risk reduction methods
Direct methods
Mechanism within the financial market.

Indirect methods
Using Hedging tools or Derivatives.

Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA


©All rights reserved
Direct methods
Invoice currency:
An exporter should bill the customer at his home currency. Also, an importer should pay his supplier in his
home currency. However, either of the parties (not both) can invoice in home currency and the other
party is yet exposed to exchange rate risk.

Matching receipts and payments:


It is important for companies to open a foreign currency bank account (denominated in the major trading
foreign currency) through which it can collect foreign currency receipts and make foreign currency
payments. However, hedging is required for the outstanding balance of the account (receipts net of
income).

Matching assets and liabilities:


FC trade receivables can be hedged by FC loan. And FC trade payables can be hedged by a FC bank
account.

Leads and lags:


A company may expedite or delay payments in foreign currency, according to its expectation of exchange
rate movement.

Bilateral netting:
Each two or more foreign subsidiaries of an MNC can offset their reciprocal receipts and payments. So
Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA
netting means offsetting intercompany balances of related parties.
©All rights reserved
Indirect Method
Derivatives:
Forwards, Futures, Option, Swap etc.

Factors to be considered before entering into hedge:


Costs (cost-benefit analysis)
Exposure (the amount of risk)
Attitude to risk (risk taker, risk neutral or risk averse)
Portfolio effect (pooling assets and liabilities, pooling
different currencies)
Shareholders (when fully diversified, no hedging required)
Insolvency risk and cost of capital (reduced)

How are Forward Exchange Rates set?
Discount on Forward Rate
The situation when the spot rate is less than the forward rate.

Premium on Forward Rate


The situation when the spot rate is greater than the forward
rate.

**A discount is therefore added to the spot rate, and a


premium is subtracted. (Remember ADDIS, i.e. add discount)

Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA


©All rights reserved
Market forces determine whether a currency sells at a
forward premium or discount, and the general relationship
between spot and forward exchange rates is specified by a
concept called “Interest Rate Parity (IRP)”

Interest Rate Parity (IRP)


Specifies that investors should expect to earn the same
return in all countries after adjusting for risk.

Forward Rate = Spot Rate x (1+if)/(1+id)


Where, if = Foreign interest rate
id = domestic interest rate

A treasurer has Tk 1,000,000 available to place on deposit for 12 months
Spot rate $1.5234/Tk
Annual Bangladesh rate of interest 6%
Annual US rate of interest 7.2%

Invest in Bangladesh @ 6% will give


Tk 1,000,000 x 1.06 = Tk 1,060,000

Invest in US @ 7.2% will give


USD 1,000,000 x 1.5234 x 1.072 = $1,633,100

That gives exchange rate, 1,633,100/1,060,000 = 1.5407

This can be simplified by,


Spot Rate x (1+if)/(1+id) = 1.5234 x (1.072/1.060)
= 1.5407

Tk 1,000,000 x 1.06 = Tk 1,060,000

Invest in US @ 7.2% will give


USD 1,000,000/80 x 1.072 = $13,400

That gives exchange rate, 1,060,000/13,400 = 79.10

This can be simplified by,


Spot Rate x (1+id)/(1+if) = 80 x (1.060/1.072)

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
The relationship in which the same products cost roughly
the same amount in different countries after taking into
account the exchange rate.

Forward Rate = Spot Rate x (1+if)/(1+id)

Where, if = Foreign inflation rate


id = domestic inflation rate

PPP (sometimes referred to as the law of one price,


implies that the level of exchange rates adjust so as to
cause identical goods to cost the same amount in
different countries.

Currency swap
Problem
El dorado plc, an engineering company based in the UK has won a
contract to build a theme park ride in Sri Lanka. This project will
require an initial investment of 500 million Sri Lankan rupees and
will be sold for 900 million rupees to the Sri Lankan’s government in
one year’s time. As the SL government will pay in rupees, El Dorado
is exposed to movements in the £/rupees rate.
The currency spot rate is 100 rupees/£ and the SL government has
offered a forex swap at that rate. The estimated spot rate in one
year’s time (when the government will pay for the theme park ride)
is 180 rupees/£. The current UK borrowing rate is 8%.

Requirement:
Construct a forex (FX) swap that will help to hedge the exchange
rate risk. Should El Dorado hedge the exposure using the swap or
should it just do nothing? Prepared by: Asif Md. Tanvir Hossain ACA

 Swap pounds today at an agreed swap rate for the
rupees required to make the initial investment.

 Take out a sterling loan today to purchase the rupees.

 In one year’s time, swap back the rupees obtained in


bullet point one for pounds at the same agreed upon
rate.

 In a similar way to taking out a loan in rupees, El Dorado


is only exposed on the profit earned from the project.
