Numerical example of risk involved

The few risks of using derivative strategies could be on account of: • Illiquidity. • Potential mis - pricing of the Futures/Options. • Inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with the underlying (Indices, Assets, Exchange Rates).

• Cost of hedges can be higher than adverse impact of market movements. • Exposure to derivatives can also limit the profits from a genuine investment transaction. • The prices which are seen on the screen need not be the same at which execution will take place.

Numerical example:

Scheme ABC has to buy 2000 shares of stock A (constituent of the scheme). However, due to illiquidity or a corporate action the stock isn’t available in the secondary market. The futures of stock A is trading at a fair price (adjusted of cost of carry) and offers enough liquidity.

Date of Transaction April 02,2026 Fair Price of Stock A Rs. 100 Expiry Date of Future Contract April 26, 2026 Price of Future Stock A (Sep expiry) Rs. 102 No. of shares of Stock A in 1 contract 2000 Value of 1 contract = 102*2000 Rs. 2,04,000 Margin (%) 10% Margin (in Rs.) Rs. 20,400 Holding Period 10 days On 10th day the future contract was sold, and the underlying stock was bought in the secondary market as it was trading at a fair price and had enough liquidity.

Stock A was trading at Rs 105 on April 10, 2026.

The financial impact of the position is dependent on the price of futures contract with respect to that of the price of the stock in the cash market on the date of reversal of the trade. That impact is visible in the basis (the difference in the price of future contract and spot price of stock A). Higher basis indicates the difference has widened and vice a versa.

On April 2, 2026, the basis between the stock and its future contract was Rs 2. Assuming the same basis the fair price of future of stock should be Rs 107.

The various scenarios of the futures price of stock A on April 10, 2026 are as follows:

1. The basis remains constant i.e. Rs 2.

2. The basis expands and the futures of stock A trade more in premium to the spot.

3. The basis narrows to Re 1.

4. The basis falls to zero.

5. The basis becomes negative and the futures of stock A trades in discount to the spot.

The P&L arising from these scenarios are illustrated in the following table:

P&L (Basis * No. of Futures Change in Scenario Basis Value Spot Price No. of Lots stocks in lot Price Basis * No. of lots) (in Rs.)

The notional exposure of the Scheme in Equity Derivative instruments shall be restricted to 20% of the net assets of the scheme. Such exposure to derivatives will be rebalanced within 7 days.
