“A Study on Derivatives Market with special reference to Futures & Options
in the Banking Sector”
1) INTRODUCTION
The emergence of the market for derivatives products, most notably forwards, futures and
options, can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to guard themselves
against uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices. By their very nature, the financial
markets are marked by a very high degree of volatility. Through the use of derivative products, it
is possible to partially or fully transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. As instruments of
risk managements, these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying asset
prices. However, by locking-in asset prices, derivative product minimizes the impact of
fluctuations in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of risk-averse investors.
Derivatives are risk management instruments, which derive their value from an underlying asset.
The underlying asset can be bullion, index, share, bonds, currency, interest, etc.. Banks,
Securities firms, companies and investors to hedge risks, to gain access to cheaper money and to
make profit, use derivatives. Derivatives are likely to grow even at a faster rate in future.
DEFINITION

contractual manner. The underlying asset can be equity, commodity or any other asset.



Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 (SCR Act) defines “derivative” to secured or
unsecured, risk instrument or contract for differences or any other form of security.



A contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of prices, of underlying
securities.
