Commodities An Alternate Asset Class
  • Traditional choice of asset allocation includes
    stocks, bonds and real estate.
  • Now portfolio has shifted to alternative assets,
    like hedge funds, private equity, derivatives
    and commodities.
  • Traded on spot and forward markets.
  • Positively correlated with inflation.
  • Independent risk and return profile.

10
Portfolio Diversification
  • Low or negative co-relation allows commodities to
    reduce overall risk.
  • Hedge against inflation.
  • An improved risk/return profile in strategic
    asset allocation.

11
  • Lets assume your total portfolio is 250,000 and
    you invest 80 in stocks and bonds (200,000) and
    20 in managed Commodities (50,000). Lets
    assume at the end of the year you realize a 5
    return on your stocks and bonds and a 25 return
    on Commodities. The result would be as follows

12
Now lets assume you earn 10 on the 80 of your
portfolio invested in stocks and bonds, but lose
25 in managed futures. The results would be as
follows
13
  • By investing only 20 of your portfolio in
    futures, if you were to earn 25, it would
    outperform 80 of your portfolio invested in
    stocks and bonds if the stocks and bonds earned
    5.
  • You can also see that a 25 loss in futures would
    still leave you with a net profit of 7,500 if
    your stock and bond allocation returned 10.

14

33
SPOT TRADING
Spot trading is any transaction where delivery
either takes place immediately, or with a minimum
lag between the trade and delivery due to
technical constraints. Spot trading normally
involves visual inspection of the commodity or a
sample of the commodity, and is carried out in
markets such as wholesale markets. Commodity
markets, on the other hand, require the existence
of agreed standards so that trades can be made
without visual inspection.
34
FORWARD CONTRACT
A forward contract or simply a forward is an
agreement between two parties to buy or sell an
asset at a certain future time for a certain
price agreed. It costs nothing to enter a forward
contract. The party agreeing to buy the
underlying asset in the future assumes a long
position, and the party agreeing to sell the
asset in the future assumes a short position. The
price agreed upon is called the delivery price,
which is equal to the forward pricing at the time
the contract is entered into.
35
  • Futures contract, in refers to a standardized
    contract to buy or sell a specified commodity of
    standardized quality at a certain date in the
    future, at a market determined price (the futures
    price).
  • The price is determined by the instantaneous
    equilibrium between the forces of supply and
    demand among competing buy and sell orders on the
    exchange at the time of the purchase or sale of
    the contract.

36
Features of Future ..
  • Futures are used for hedging, particularly in a
    bear market.
  • Futures are exchange-traded derivatives.
  • The particular asset as well as the quantity are
    specified in the futures contract.
  • The currency in which the contract is to be
    executed is also specified in future contracts.

37
  • Futures have lower transaction costs than other
    debt instruments.
  • Future contracts have high liquidity, since
    buyers and sellers of futures contracts can be
    found easily.
  • Futures are highly standardized.
  • Settlement - The delivery month and the last
    trading date are also mentioned in the contract.

38
Forward Vs. Futures
  • While futures and forward contracts are both
    contracts to deliver an asset on a future date at
    a prearranged price, they are different in
    different respects
  • Futures are margined, while forwards are not.
  • Forward contracts are private agreements. Futures
    contracts have clearing houses.
  • For forward contracts, settlement of the
    contract occurs at the end of the contract.
    Futures contracts are marked-to market daily,
    which means that daily changes are settled day by
    day until the end of the contract.

39
  • Futures contracts are quite frequently employed
    by speculators. On the other hand, forward
    contracts are mostly used by hedgers.
  • Futures are exchange-traded, while forwards are
    traded over-the-counter.
  • Thus futures are standardized and face an
    exchange, while forwards are customized and face
    a non-exchange counterparty.
