2
TRANSACTION MARKETS
  • Spot or Cash Immediate exchange of property
    for payment
  • Forward Later exchange of property for
    payment, t terms fixed today
  • Futures Like forwards, but...

3
FORWARD CONTRACTS
  • Price setting mechanisms for deferred value dates
  • Totally flexible in terms of timing and size of
    transactions
  • Negotiated on a principal-to-principal basis
  • Introduce credit risk exposure to counterparties
    for profitable positions

4
FUTURES CONTRACTS
  • Price setting mechanisms for deferred value dates
  • Designed with specific value dates and fixed
    contract sizes
  • Exchange traded, with bids and offers provided by
    exchange members
  • Daily cash settlements insure against the risk of
    counter-party defaults

5
FINANCIAL INTEGRITY
  • Variation Margin One days gain or loss
    of the futures position (contracts ?
    price change ? multiplier)
  • Initial Margin Good faith deposit or
    collateral
  • Maintenance Level Minimum below
    which account cannot fall

6
CUSTOMER PERFORMANCE BONDSAlternative Qualifying
Instruments
  • U.S. currency and Government securities
  • Bank letters of credit
  • GNMA pass-throughs
  • Selected Brady bonds
  • Selected sovereign securities
  • NYSE, AMEX, SP500 and SPMidCap stocks
  • Selected mutual funds

7
Forecasted Transactions VersusFirm Commitments
  • Forecasted transactions that are highly probable
    with a known notional and cash flow risk from an
    unknown spot price or rate
  • Firm commitments that are contracted with a
    specified notional and transaction price that
    eliminates cash flow risk but creates value risk
    equal to the difference between spot versus
    contracted price or rate

8
Accounting for Forecasted Transactions Versus
Firm Commitments
  • Forecasted transactions are not booked or even
    disclosed under present accounting standards.
  • Firm commitments (more generally known as
    purchase commitments in the case of purchases)
    are to be disclosed but are not to be booked
    unless a significant loss anticipated. Then
    conservatism in dictates booking an anticipated
    loss reserve that is much like an allowance for
    warranty or bad debt expense.

Delta Ratio Effectiveness Testing80ltDeltalt125
Bounds
  • Paragraph 146 in
    IAS 39
  • A hedge is normally regarded as highly effective
    if, at inception and throughout the life of the
    hedge, the enterprise can expect changes in the
    fair value or cash flows of the hedged item to be
    almost fully offset by the changes in the fair
    value or cash flows of the hedging instrument,
    and actual results are within a range of 80 per
    cent to 125 per cent. For example, if the loss on
    the hedging instrument is 120 and the gain on the
    cash instrument is 100, offset can be measured by
    120/100, which is 120 per cent, or by 100/120,
    which is 83 per cent. The enterprise will
    conclude that the hedge is highly effective.

    hedged items price. FAS 133 says carry forward
    OCI balance until inventory is sold. IAS 39 has
    an OCI basis adjustment on March 31, unlike FAS
    133.

  • Under IAS 39, there will also be an entry to
    close the 50,000 in OCI to PL. Under FAS 133,
    there will be no such basis adjustment until the
    inventory is sold.

    flow hedge, retained earnings is increased by
    another 50,000 that locked in inventory value at
    1 million.

22
Basis Adjustment Alternatives
  • The carrying value of a hedging offset account
    (OCI, Firm Commitment, or Balance Sheet Item) may
    be written off prematurely whenever the hedge
    becomes severely ineffective.
  • Under IAS 39, the carrying value of an effective
    hedge is written off when the hedge expires or is
    dedesignated. See Paragraphs 162 and 163 of IAS
    39.
  • Under FAS 133, the carrying value of an effective
    hedge is carried forward until the ultimate
    disposition of the hedged item (e.g. inventory
    sale or depreciation of equipment). See
    Paragraph 31 of FAS 133.

36
Forward Versus Futures ContractsQuotations from
Walter Teets
September 7, 2000 email message to Bob JensenThe
error in our case is simply that the futures
values (due to changes in either spot or futures
prices) shouldn't be present valued, since there
is daily settling up. But the (change in) values
of the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item
should be present valued, because there is
usually no periodic settling of the cash flows
associated with the hedged item. The change to
the case is minor the major point of the futures
case is to show exclusion of the change in the
difference between future and spot price from the
determination of effectiveness. Present valuing
the cash flow associated with the anticipated
transaction, while not present valuing the
futures (change in) value adds additional
ineffectiveness to the hedging relation. Walter
Teets at Gonzaga University

Fair Value FX HedgingExample 3 from FAS 133
Paragraph 121
Example 3 illustrates a firm commitment to
purchase a machine on May 2 for 270,000Dfl Dutch
guilders which exposes the firm to both a fair
value risk and a foreign exchange (FX) risk.
MNO enters a forward contract FX fair value
hedge in which this company enters elects to
hedge the 270,000Dfl with equivalent 240,000DM in
German marks that it apparently had on hand on
February 3. Although the example hedges in German
DM currency, the firm declares this a fair value
hedge of the firm commitment in U.S. dollars. To
the extent of hedge effectiveness, the account
Firm Commitment is used to offset changes in the
value of the forward contract during the hedging
period.
  •  

40
Cash Flow FX HedgingExample 10 from FAS 133
Paragraph 165
Example 10 illustrates DEF Companys hedging of
foreign currency risk of on three expected
installments of 1,000,000DM German marks. As a
cash flow hedge, other comprehensive income is
used to offset changes in the value of the
hedging forward contract to the extent that the
contract is effective in hedging FX risk. But
the effectiveness tests are very complicated as
explained in Paragraph 169
  •  

41
Cash Flow FX HedgingExample 10 from FAS 133
Paragraph 169
169. As each royalty is earned, DEF recognizes a
receivable and royalty income. The forecasted
transaction (the earning of royalty income) has
occurred. The receivable is an asset, not a
forecasted transaction, and is not eligible for
cash flow hedge accounting. Nor is it eligible
for fair value hedge accounting of the foreign
exchange risk because changes in the receivable's
fair value due to exchange rate changes are
recognized immediately in earnings. (paragraph
21(c) prohibits hedge accounting in that
situation.) Consequently, DEF will dedesignate a
proportion of the forward contract corresponding
to the earned royalty. As the royalty is
recognized in earnings and each proportion of the
derivative is dedesignated, the related
derivative gain or loss in accumulated other
comprehensive income is reclassified into
earnings. After that date, any gain or loss on
the dedesignated proportion of the derivative and
any transaction loss or gain on the royalty
receivable will be recognized in earnings and
will substantially offset each other.

FUTURES HEDGING Sources of Uncertainty
  • Rounding error
  • Cross-market (spread) risk
  • Mismatching value dates (basis risk)
  • Timing of variation settlement cashflows

47
TIMING CONSIDERATION
Problem Futures results are realized daily, the
effect on the exposure occurs in a deferred period
Solution Tail the hedge to generate the present
value of the desired price effects
48
Tailing Futures Hedges/Tailing Spreads
http//www.kawaller.com/pdf/tails.pdf An
untailed hedge ignores the difference between the
time futures gains or losses are realized and the
time the price effects on the associated cash
market exposures are realized. A tailed hedge, on
the other hand, takes these timing considerations
into consideration. Put another way, an untailed
hedge ignores the effects of financing costs or
investment returns associated with daily
variation margin settlements of futures
contracts a tailed hedge these effects.
49
Tailing Futures Hedges/Tailing Spreads
http//www.kawaller.com/pdf/tails.pdf While
tailed hedges should be recognized as more
perfect from an economic perspective, untailed
hedges have the advantage of offering the
appearance of a better offset from an accounting
point of view when deferral accounting methods
are employed. Moreover, maintaining a correctly
tailed hedge position requires an ongoing
adjustment of the hedge position, while untailed
hedges need no analogous adjustments.
50
Tailing Futures Hedges/Tailing Spreads
http//www.kawaller.com/pdf/tails.pdf
Importantly, the correct number of contracts for
this latter case will tend to increase as the
passage of time erodes the difference between
present values and future values. Ultimately,
by the time the hedge value date is reached, the
discounted present value will converge to the
500 amount. Thus, over time the required hedge
will gradually rise to twenty contracts. This
second case is an example of a tailed hedge,
where the tail is the number of contracts needed
to adjust for this present valuing effect.

52
Complexities of Paragraph 63(c) of FAS 133
  • See KPMG 1A Sheet in 133ex07a.xls at
    http//www.cs.trinity.edu/rjensen/
  • 63(c). If the effectiveness of a hedge with a
    forward or futures contract is assessed based on
    changes in fair value attributable to changes in
    spot prices, the change in the fair value of the
    contract related to the changes in the difference
    between the spot price and the forward or futures
    price would be excluded from the assessment of
    hedge effectiveness.

CASE 3 - Firm Commitment Hedged with Forward
Contract
  • On 9/30/2001, GlobalTechCo, a U.S. company issues
    a purchase order to a foreign supplier for
    equipment to be delivered and paid for at
    3/31/2002. The terms of the agreement meet the
    criteria for a firm commitment.
  • The price is denominated in the foreign
    currencyFC10,000,000.
  • The company simultaneously enters into a forward-
    exchange contract, which matures 3/31/2002, in
    order to receive FC10,000,000 and pay U.S.
    6,600,000.
