  4. Risk in Derivatives Markets Four basic kinds of risks • Market Risk ( Price Risks) • Operational Risk • Counterparty Credit Risk • Legal Risk

  5. CASE 1 — MG case

  6. CASE 1 — MG case Metallgesellschaft Refining and Marketing(MGRM) • 公司組織：德國大廠Metallgesellschaft AG的美國子公司 • 經營範圍：熱油、天然氣、油製品的提煉、行銷、遞送 • 事件背景：油品價格隨季節變化劇烈，成本控制不易 • 事件主角：CFO －W. Arthur Benson • 操作標的：Futures －front-month contract on NYMEX Swaps －receive floating and pay fixed price • 最後結果：損失約$1.3 billion

  7. CASE 1 — MG case MGRM’s Marketing Program • Firm-Fixed & Firm-Flexible Programs MGRM supplies a fixed monthly deliveries of oil, gasoline, and heating oil at a fixed price to contracted customers. In Common： • Cash-out provisions ( options for early termination ) The Main Difference in Cash-out provisions： • The firm-fixed contract： ( Current nearby futures price－the contract delivery price) × 50％ • The firm-flexible contract ： ( Second-nearest futures price－the contract delivery price) × 100％ Other Difference： A customer could request 20％of its contracted volume for any one year with 45 days’ notice. (Firm-Flexible) if oil price of futures market rises above the contract price

  8. CASE 1 — MG case Illustration of the supply contract and the cash-out option retailer faces a liquidity crisis

  9. CASE 1 — MG case • The cash-out proportion is 50%： the retailer gets 120,000* 10 * .5 = $600,000 • This allows the retailer to obtain cash in a liquidity crunch.

  10. CASE 1 — MG case MGRM’s contract price reflected a premium of $3 to $5 per barrel. Hedging Strategy ；the firm could suffer massive losses. Oil prices “stack-and-roll” hedge : buy a combination of short-dated oil futures contracts and swaps.

  11. CASE 1 — MG case Contango vs Backwardation Market Forward Price=Spot price ＋Cost of Carry－Convenience yield • If Cost of Carry＞Convenience yield • If Cost of Carry＜Convenience yield • A stack-and-roll strategy appeared to offer a means of avoiding such carrying costs because short-dated futures markets for oil products historically have tended to exhibit backwardation. Contago Market；F ＞S Backwardation Market；F＜S

  12. CASE 1 — MG case Basis Risk Illustration of the hedge strategy when the market is in backwardation

  13. CASE 1 — MG case Basis Risk Illustration of the hedge strategy when the market is in contago

  14. CASE 1 — MG case The process of huge losses in derivatives market What happened if oil prices fall? (in late 1993) Cause funding problems for MGRM Cancel its long-term contracts with its customers Terminate its hedging program Cause about $1.3 billion loss

  15. CASE 1 — MG case Critiques of MGRM’s Hedging Program • Edwards & Canter and Mello & Parsons • Assume that the likely future behavior of basis in oil futures and forward markets is backwardation. The permanent changes in the behavior of basis are possible or not ? Edwards & Canter said “Yes” Huge losses Mello and Parsons are more critical of MGRM’s hedging program. They thought that it was speculative in its design and intent. 2. MGRM’s was overhedged. Short-term oil futures prices tend to be more volatile than prices on long-term forward contracts.

  16. CASE 1 — MG case Defense of MGRM’s Hedging Program • Culp & Miller and Culp & Hanke • The hedger bears no carrying costs as long as the market exhibits backwardation. • Culp & Miller’s analysis shows that changes in basis affect only the portion of carrying cost borne by the hedger. • Culp & Miller argue that any long run expected losses due to basis risk were minimal considering historical patterns of backwardation in energy market.

  17. CASE 1 — MG case Defense of MGRM’s Hedging Program • Culp & Miller and Culp & Hanke 2. Underestimated the value of MGRM’s contracts with its customers. Take proper account of unrealized gains in the value of contracts 1.3 billion 170 million Most of MG’s reported losses were due to the termination of itssubsidiary’s marketing program.

  18. CASE 1 — MG case Defense of MGRM’s Hedging Program • Culp & Miller and Culp & Hanke 3. The firm should continue the hedging program. Consider losses from MGRM’s hedging program to be sunk costs. Culp & Miller find out the program had a positive expected net present value at the end of 1993. The firm could have bought options to remain hedged while it sought solutions to its longer-term funding problems. The Deutsche Bank was not only a creditor to MG but also one of its largest shareholders, therefore it should have been willing to continue financing MGRM’s hedge program.

  19. CASE 1 — MG case Response of the CFTC MGRM MG Futures, Inc. material inadequacies in internal control systems associated with MGRM’s activity in energy and futures markets material inadequacies in internal control systems associated with MGRM’s activity in energy and futures markets Selling illegal, off-exchange futures contracts Failing inform the CFTC of these material inadequacies The CFTC’s action rendered MGRM’s firm-fixed agreements “illegal and void”. The CFTC’s action would have created legal risk for MG. Miller and Culp criticized that CFTC’s action created uncertainty about the legal status of commercial forward contracts.

  20. CASE 1 — MG case An Overview of Policy Concerns • MGRM’s huge losses are attributable more to operational risk than to market risk. • There is no need for new government policies or more comprehensive regulation of derivatives markets. • Systematic attempts to discourage such arrangement like the long-term, fixed-price delivery contracts would seem to be poor public policy.

  21. CASE 2 — Barings case

  22. CASE 2 — Barings case Barings Bank (oldest merchant bank in Great Britain) • Background：1994~1995 ,around Kobe earthquake • Character ：Nick Leeson －Wonder boy, Turbo arbitrageur • Operations ： Nikkei 225 Futures between OSE & SIMEX JGB (Japanese Government Bond) Nikkei 225 Futures Call & Put Options • Result ：Loss ￡927 million ，Barrings bankrupted

  25. CASE 2 — Barings case The most expensive “I’m sorry!” “My sincere apologies for the predicament I have left you in. It was neither my intention nor aim for this to happen.” Total loss : 927 million (Barings Equity 440mn) ING buy :₤1 Recapitalize :660 million

  26. CASE 2 — Barings case Criticism: Over confident Leeson • Huge position of market open interest • Nikkei futures options values are 10 times of the bank’s capital size • 61000 Nikkei futures contracts, 49% of Mar , 24% of Jun of 1995 • Short 26000 JGB futures, 88% of Jun 1995 • Short Euroyen futures, 5% of June, 1% of both Sep and Dec 1995 • Special account -- 88888

  27. CASE 2 — Barings case Criticism: Barings’s management • Support additional funding without inquiry • Didn’t prompt immediate inquiry to Leeson’s activities. • Tony Hawes started investigating on Feb 6. • Assurance to SIMEX on the belief of Leeson’s “Hedging Strategy”. • Improper system and inadequate internal control • No supervisory mechanism for BSS. • Lack of segregation of front and back office. • Lack of funding management institution. • Lack of market risk and operational risk management.

  31. CASE 2 — Barings case Lessons from the Barings debacle • Careless about the warning signs • Lack of segregation of duties between front and back offices. • High level of funding requested by Leeson. • Unreconciled balance of funds transfer to BFS to meet margin calls. • High profitability is relative to high level of risk. • The discovery of discrepancies in account by outside auditors. • Communications from SIMEX. • Market rumors and concerns. • On-site examination of Leeson’s account came too late. • Management teams have duties to fully understand the plans.

  32. CASE 2 — Barings case Lessons from the Barings debacle • Criticisms for the Bank of England’s supervision • 25 percent of the organization’s capital to the risk or loss. • Increasing understanding of the non-banking business. • Explicit internal guidelines . • Closer work to the Securities and Futures Authority is needed. • Falling at Barings were not a consequence of the complexities of the business. • Legitimate concerns for policymakers • Lack of communication between securities and futures. • Conflicting laws on the legal status in the event of insolvency.

  33. Conclusion & Comments • Firm’s management should understand fully and well monitor the activities of their subsidiaries. • Derivatives are not devil.Derivatives-related losses doesn’t mean more regulations of derivatives markets needed. • Operational strategies, not only derivatives, can lead to loss money. • Attempts at stringent regulation can sometimes have undesirable side effects.

  34. Conclusion & Comments • Market discipline is also a powerful form of regulation. • Derivatives enlarged the market size and stimulate the competition and innovation of financial markets. • Derivatives provided diverse solutions to funding policies, such as hedging, speculation and fund gathering.
