PREFACE
In today’s fast moving economy only theoretical knowledge is not sufficient for an individual to
perform sufficiently. To fill up the gap between theory and practical we must have enough
theoretical as well as practical knowledge regarding business environment. And for this purpose
this Summer Internship Project is carried out, which has helped me to gain both practical as well
as theoretical knowledge.
Practical training is one of the vital aspects of management field. Thus, practical training enables
students in understanding the administration and functions of a corporate entity. Practical
training helps an individual to develop managerial abilities. Thus, training acts as a bridge
between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation of the knowledge. Hence, it helps
an individual to know the actual uses and implications of the theoretical knowledge acquired in
the classroom.

HISTORY OF DERIVATIVES
With the opening of the economy to multinationals and the adoption of the liberalized economic policies, the economy is driven more towards the free market economy. The complex nature of financial structuring itself involves the utilization of multi currency transactions. It exposes the clients, particularly corporate clients to various risks such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, economic risk and political risk.
With the integration of the financial markets and free mobility of capital, risks also
multiplied. For instance, when countries adopt floating exchange rates, they have to face
risks due to fluctuations in the exchange rates. Deregulation of interest rate cause interest
risks. Again, securitization has brought with it the risk of default or counter party risk. Apart
from it, every asset—whether commodity or metal or share or currency—is subject to
depreciation in its value. It may be due to certain inherent factors and external factors like the
market condition, Government’s policy, economic and political condition prevailing in the
country and so on.
In the present state of the economy, there is an imperative need of the corporate clients to
protect there operating profits by shifting some of the uncontrollable financial risks to those
who are able to bear and manage them. Thus, risk management becomes a must for survival
since there is a high volatility in the present f inancial markets.
In this context, derivatives occupy an important place as risk reducing machinery.
Derivatives are useful to reduce many of the risks discussed above. In fact, the financial
service companies can play a very dynamic role in dealing with such risks. They can ensure
that the above risks are hedged by using derivatives like forwards, future, options, swaps etc.
Derivatives, thus, enable the clients to transfer their financial risks to he financial service
companies. This really protects the clients from unforeseen risks and helps them to get there
11
due operating profits or to keep the project well within the budget costs. To hedge the various
risks that one faces in the financial market today, derivatives are absolutely essential.

DERIVATIVES IN INDIA
In India, all attempts are being made to introduce derivative instruments in the capital
market. The National Stock Exchange has been planning to introduce index-based futures. A
stiff net worth criteria of Rs.7 to 10 corers cover is proposed for members who wish to enroll
for such trading. But, it has not yet received the necessary permission from the securities and
Exchange Board of India.
In the forex market, there are brighter chances of introducing derivatives on a large scale.
Infact, the necessary groundwork for the introduction of derivatives in forex market was
prepared by a high-level expert committee appointed by the RBI. It was headed by Mr. O.P.
Sodhani. Committee’s report was already submitted to the Government in 1995. As it is, a
few derivative products such as interest rate swaps, coupon swaps, currency swaps and fixed
rate agreements are available on a limited scale. It is easier to introduce derivatives in forex
market because most of these products are OTC products (Over-the-counter) and they are
highly flexible. These are always between two parties and one among them is always a
financial intermediary.
However, there should be proper legislations for the effective implementation of derivative
contracts. The utility of derivatives through Hedging can be derived, only when, there is
transparency with honest dealings. The players in the derivative market should have a sound
financial base for dealing in derivative transactions. What is more important for the success
of derivatives is the prescription of proper capital adequacy norms, training of financial
intermediaries and the provision of well-established indices. Brokers must also be trained in
the intricacies of the derivative-transactions.
Now, derivatives have been introduced in the Indian Market in the form of index options and
index futures. Index options and index futures are basically derivate tools based on stock
index. They are really the risk management tools. Since derivates are permitted legally, one
can use them to insulate his equity portfolio against the vagaries of the market.
13
Every investor in the financial area is affected by index fluctuations. Hence, risk
management using index derivatives is of far more importance than risk management using
individual security options. Moreover, Portfolio risk is dominated by the market risk,
regardless of the composition of the portfolio. Hence, investors would be more interested in
using index-based derivative products rather than security based derivative products.
There are no derivatives based on interest rates in India today. However, Indian users of
hedging services are allowed to buy derivatives involving other currencies on foreign
markets. India has a strong dollar- rupee forward market with contracts being traded for one
to six month expiration. Daily trading volume on this forward market is around $500 million
a day. Hence, derivatives available in India in foreign exchange area are also highly
beneficial to the users.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
At present Derivative Trading has been permitted by the SEBI on derivative segment of the BSE
and the F&0 segment of the NSE. The natures of derivative contracts permitted are:
Ø Index Futures contracts introduced in June, 2000,
Ø Index options introduced in June, 2001,
And
Ø Stock options introduced in July 2001.
The minimum contract size of a derivative contract is Rs.2 lakhs. Besides the minimum contract
size, there is a stipulation for the lot size of a derivative contract. The lot size refers to number of
underlying securities in one contract. The lot size of the underlying individual security should be
in multiples of 100 and tractions, if any should be rounded of to next higher multiple of 100.
Apart from the above, there are market wide limits also. The market wide limit for index
products in NIL. For stock specific products it is of open positions. But, for option and futures
the following wide limits have been fixed.
30 times the average number of shares traded daily, during the previous calendar month in the
cash segment of the exchange.
Or
10% of the number of shares held by non-promoters, i.e., 10% of the free float in terms of
number of shares of a company.

Cash market
Definition of 'Cash Market'
The marketplace for immediate settlement of transactions involving commodities and securities.
In a cash market, the exchange of goods and money between the seller and the buyer takes place
in the present, as opposed to the futures market where such an exchange takes place on a
specified future date.
Also known as the spot market, since such transactions are settled "on the spot."
Explains 'Cash Market'
Cash market transactions can take place either on a regulated exchange or over-the-counter
(OTC). In contrast, transactions involving futures are conducted exclusively on exchanges, while
forward transactions, such as currency forwards, are generally executed on the OTC market.
For a specific commodity, the price in the cash market is usually less than its price in the futures
market. This is because there are carrying costs, such as storage and insurance, involved in
holding a commodity until it can be delivered at some point in the future.
On the cash market trading is conducted in two sections, the equities and the debt securities sections.
In the equities section shares and mutual funds can be traded, together with the compensation note as
a special security. The securities traded in the debt securities section include: government debt
securities (treasury bills and government bonds), corporate bonds and mortgage bonds.
A market in which commodities, such as grain, gold, crude oil, or RAM chips, are bought and
sold for cash and delivered immediately. also called spot market.
The cash market is a buying strategy in which the buyer makes an immediate payment that is equal to
the current market price for commodities and other types of securities. Upon the receipt of the
payment, the seller relinquishes all claims to the property and bestows ownership upon the buyer. In a
sense, any type of retail transaction such as the purchase of groceries could be considered
a cash market, as the goods are received by the buyer upon rendering a cash payment for the
products.
One of the characteristics that sets the cash market apart from a futures market is this immediate
satisfaction and transfer of ownership. Futures markets involve a longer period for the transaction to
be considered complete. With a cash market, the investor immediately assumes ownership and is free
to do with the commodity or security as he or she wishes. While both approaches are capable of
Majority of the respondents follow Fundamental Analysis while some of the
respondents also follow the global cues and minor numbers of respondents
follow Tips, Brokers, and Technical Analysis. So we can conclude that people
are still unaware about the Technical analysis which can be termed as new
trend in market.
