3 WHAT IS FUTURES? A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell the underlying instrument at a specific time in the future for a specific price determined today. Physical Delivery/Cash Settled. A trader who has bought a futures contract can close out by selling the same number and type of futures contract he bought and vice versa.

4 FUNCTIONS OF FUTURES 1. Price Discovery Provide a means for determining prices in advance for periods of a year or more. The prices are established by interaction of demand and supply, more specifically, by the bids and offers of both buyers and sellers. 2. Risk Shifting Allows the separation of the risk of price change from risk arising from other normal business functions similar to the separation of theft or fire risk from the other business risks. 3. Hedging functions Because of the ease in transferring unwanted risks in the futures market, there is tremendous flexibility in the timing of purchases and sales yet maintaining anonymity. 4. Market Efficiency A futures market acts as a focal point where buyer and sellers can meet readily, thus improving overall market efficiency by reducing search costs. Accessibility is maximized through a single marketplace concept, thereby effectively reducing monopoly power and prices become more stable. 5. Information benefits The futures market has an economically efficient mechanism for facilitating the flow of information in the marketplace.

5 ADVANTAGES OF FUTURES 1.Standardization Specific months for specific quantity 2.Transferability The sale can be offset at anytime between the date of original transaction and the date of delivery by buying that required number of contracts before maturity/ expiration 3. Cost Minimal 4. Creditworthiness Clearing house 5. Liquidity It is easy to open and close positions without causing significant change in price

19 Example of Hedging Strategies (Long Hedge) A Refiner has to deliver 10,000 metric tons of RBD Palm Olein. He has shortage of 2,000 metric tons CPO and unable to find any seller in a bullish market. As the Refiner is facing the risk of higher prices, He turns to Bursa Malaysia Derivatives and buy 80 CPO futures contracts (2,000 tons) Now he has effectively locked in his prices, (reduce upside price risk) He waits for the tender process to take place to collect the physical delivery of Crude Palm Oil.

20 Example of Hedging Strategies (Short Hedge) A Palm Oil Merchant who has purchased Palm Olein and in the midst of delivery of the oil, has a risk of falling prices before he could sell his processed oil in the local market. So he sells futures contract to offset any possible decline in oil prices. This is called SHORT HEDGE. Cash Market June Purchased 1000m/t P Olein at USD 825/t To sell the P Olein in July. July Prices of P Olein dropped to USD 780 Sold P Olein at USD 780/t Loses = USD 825/t USD 780/t = USD 45/t Total = USD45/t x 1000t = USD45,000 RM139,500 Futures Market June August FCPO = RM 2450/t Sells 40 contracts August RM 2450/t 40 x RM 25 x RM 2450 = RM 2,450,000 July August FCPO = RM 2300/t Buys 40 contracts August RM 2300/t 40 x RM 25 x RM 2300 = RM 2,300,000 Profit in Futures: RM 2,450,000- RM 2,300,000 = RM 150,000 USD 48,400
