Financial Futures
Goal (Hedge) - To create an exactly opposite
reaction in price changes, from your cash position.
Commodities - Simple because assets types are
finite.
Financials - Difficult because assets types are
infinite.
You must attempt to approximate your position
with futures via “Hedge Ratios.”

Currency Swaps
Similar to interest rate swaps
Same type loan, just diff currency WHY?
example:
you have an investment in Japan
Project is financed with US bonds
You look for SWAP partner so you can emulate holding
Japanese bonds
Java Yahoo principal
Yen loan 11% 12% $ 1 mil
$ loan 8% 11.1% or Y120
Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
24- 22
Currency Swaps
example - cont
Java borrows $1mil @ 8%
Yahoo borrows Y120mil @ 12%
Intl. Bank arranges swap
Java swaps 8% $ loan for 10.3% yen loan w/bank
Yahoo swaps 12% yen loan for 10.4% $ loan w/bank
total available benefit = (11.1-8) - (12-11) = 2.1%
Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
24- 23
Currency Swaps
example - cont
benefit to Java
$ loan +8 - 8 = 0
Yen loan +11 - 10.3 = .7 net gain +.7%
benefit to Yahoo
$ loan 11.1 - 10.4 = +.7
yen loan -12 + 12 = 0 net gain = .7%
benefit to bank
$ loan +10.4 - 8 = +2.4
yen loan - 12 + 10.3 = -1.7 net gain + .7%

Derivative Innovations
The creative mind is the only barrier to new
derivative products. Even Weather
Derivatives have come into existence in
recent years.
Example: A TV network may
want to hedge the risk of a
World Series game being
rained out and thus they
forego advertising income.
Who might the counterparty
be to such a contract?
