All rights reserved. 22 Mechanics of Stock Index Futures Cash settlement mechanism … Futures ‘Marked-To-Market’ (MTM) like any other day, i.e., pay losses and collects profits daily and in cash Subsequent to final settlement day, positions simply expire and are settled at spot value of underlying index or instrument The Final Settlement Price is marked to a ‘Special Opening Quotation’ (SOQ) on the 3rd Friday of the contract month SOQ is intended to facilitate arbitrage activity by allowing arbitrageurs to enter market on open (MOO) orders to liquidate cash positions at same price that will be reflected in the Final Settlement Price A morning settlement was established in late 1980s to avoid so- called “triple witching hour”

All rights reserved. 31 Fair Value Concept and Arbitrage Futures Price = Spot Index Value + Finance Charges -Dividends Fair value (FV) of futures contract … The ‘basis’ (=futures price – spot price) normally expected to be > 0 Normally, we expect short-term rates > dividend yields  “negative carry” as finance costs exceed dividend payouts Sometimes rates < dividend yields and basis goes negative  “positive carry” as finance costs exceed dividend payouts This difference reflects the expected premium or discount at which futures are expected to trade relative to the spot index value … often referred to as “Fair Value”

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 33 Fair Value Concept and Arbitrage Fair value settlement at end of month … CME stock index futures are settled on last day of every month at their fair value Based upon a survey of applicable interest rates and dividends to accrue until expiration date EXAMPLE: On 12/30/05, rate surveyed at 4.517%; 76 days until 3/17/06 expiration of March 2006 contract; S&P 500 at 1,248.29; dividends estimated at index points Futures should be at 6.51 premium over spot index value of 1, or 1, Fair Value=Finance Charges-Dividends =Rate x (days/360) x Index Value-Dividends ==== 4.517% x (76/360) x 1, = 6.508

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 34 Fair Value Concept and Arbitrage Arbitraging mispriced markets … If futures > spot index value + fair value sell futures and buy stock portfolio OR … if futures < spot index value + fair value  buy futures and sell stock portfolio Buy levels reflecting spot index value(1,248.29) Incur finance 4.517%(11.903) Receive dividends of index points5.396 Net cost over 76 days(1,254.80) Expected futures price1, Sell levels reflecting spot index value(1,248.29) Invest 4.517%(11.903) Pay dividends of index points to lender5.396 Net cost over 76 days(1,254.80) Expected futures price1,254.80

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 35 Fair Value Concept and Arbitrage Fair Value - Arbitrage Costs < Futures Price < Fair Value + Arbitrage Costs Arbitraging mispriced markets … In practice, one must also consider costs attendant to arbitrage, i.e., slippage, commissions, fees, etc. THUS … futures tend to trade within a “band” above a below its theoretical fair value When futures fall below that band  buy futures and sell stock portfolio When futures rise above that band  sell futures and buy stock portfolio

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved Recession ends, corporate profits and stock values begin to bounce back. Small caps outperform in low rate environment. FOMC begins series of measured tightening in late Stock market declines sharply as tech “bubble” collapses. FOMC aggressively eases Fed Funds down to 1%. This favors small-caps where borrowing costs typically more problematic over high-caps. Still, credit concerns mount by 2002 and small caps tumble High-caps outperform as investment managers compelled to park huge amounts of new investment in high-caps. Russian & Asian financial crises stimulate flight to quality. Tech stocks lead the way given emergence of telecomm technologies such as internet Post-Gulf War era exerts very positive effect on small-caps. Interest rates decline to lowest levels in decades as US T-bill rates dip below 3% by November 1993 and 30-year US T-bond yields fall below 6% Most significant bull market since the 50s begins as high cap stocks race ahead. Weakness in US dollar favored large cap stocks with international markets (e.g., Merck, Coca-Cola, Philip Morris) Small cap stocks outperform high cap stocks by wide margin lead. Small energy stocks lead the way as OPEC crimps oil supplies. High-cap, small-cap & tech stock market cycles … Spreading Stock Index Futures

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 49 Hedging with Stock Index Futures Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) … Systematic risk refers to ‘market risks’ reflected in the economic conditions that affect all stocks Unsystematic risk or ‘firm-specific risks’ are factors that uniquely impact upon a specific stock Beta analysis … uses statistical regression to define relationship between individual stock and market returns ‘Market returns’ often defined by reference to an index such as the S&P 500 Products of analysis include beta (  ) and R 2 Total Risk = Systematic Risks + Unsystematic Risks

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 50 Hedging with Stock Index Futures Beta analysis … Beta (  ) identifies the expected relative movement between an individual stock and the market IF > 1.0  it’s considered a more aggressive stock IF  < 1.0  it’s considered a more conservative stock R 2 identifies the degree to which movements in the stock are explained by market movements R 2 varies between 0 and 1.0 IF R 2 = 1.0 this implies a perfect hedge IF R 2 = 0  this implies no correlation or no “hedgeability” An “average” stock has an R 2 of 0.30 which implies that perhaps 30% of its movements are explained by systematic factors and “hedge-able” … the remaining 70% of unsystematic risks are NOT hedge-able with broad-based index futures

© Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. All rights reserved. 51 Hedging with Stock Index Futures Stock index hedge ratio … Where … V stock may refer to value of a stock portfolio V futures refers to the value of a futures contract, e.g., in the case of E-mini S&P 500 futures … V futures = $50 x Price Beta () refers to the weighted  of the stock portfolio HR represents the number of futures needed to immunize portfolio from systematic risks Hedge Ratio (HR) = Stock Value (V stock )  Futures Value (V futures ) X Beta ()
