Download or read book The Effect of Futures Trading on Cash Market Volatility written by Gary Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock market crash of October 1987 and the growing importance of index arbitrage and portfolio insurance helped to focus the attention of academics, practitioners and regulators on the possibly destabilising role of equity index futures on the underlying cash market. Although theoretical evidence on this question is somewhat ambiguous, empirical evidence, relating particularly to US markets, has been less equivocal: typically, no significant effect of futures trading has been found. This paper presents an analysis of daily stock price volatility on the London Stock Exchange for the period 1980-93. The measure of volatility produced is appropriate, given the distribution of returns and the time-varying nature of stock price volatility, and changes in monetary policy regime. The impact of futures on stock price volatility is measured within an augmented ARCH framework and the principal result is striking: rather than increasing volatility, index futures contracts are found to have reduced volatility significantly by around 17%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effect of equity index futures trading on stock market volatility and provides the empirical evidence from the Chinese market. GARCH model variations are applied to analyze the change in conditional volatility of the underlying equity index after the introduction of futures trading. Both additive and multiplicative effects are considered in the GARCH study. Multiple market factors are also considered to control for other possible causes of volatility. The Stock-Watson “counterfactual VAR” method is adopted to decompose the source of volatility change. The evidence indicates that the introduction of CSI300 index futures trading does not significantly affect the conditional volatility of the underlying index. This finding is robust to different model specifications. The Stock-Watson test shows that there is no structural change following the introduction of futures trading. The only difference comes from the decreasing innovation variances.
Download or read book Does Index Futures Trading Reduce Volatility in the Chinese Stock Market A Panel Data Evaluation Approach written by Haiqiang Chen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effect of introducing index futures trading on the spot price volatility in the Chinese stock market. We employ a recently developed panel data policy evaluation approach (Hsiao et al. 2011) to construct counterfactuals of the spot market volatility, based mainly on cross-sectional correlations between the Chinese and international stock markets. This new method does not need to specify a particular regression or a time series model for the volatility process around the introduction date of index futures trading, and thus avoids the potential omitted variable bias caused by uncontrolled market factors in the existing literature. Our results provide empirical evidence that the introduction of index futures trading significantly reduces the volatility of the Chinese stock market, which is robust to different model selection criteria and various prediction approaches.

These funds provide liquid access to virtually every financial market and allow large and small investors to build institutional-caliber portfolios.

High levels of transparency in ETFs for holdings and investment strategy help investors evaluate an ETF’s potential returns and risks. This book covers the evolution of ETFs as products and in their uses in investment strategies. It details how ETFs work, their unique investment and trading features, their regulatory structure, how they are used in tactical and strategic portfolio management in a broad range of asset classes, and how to evaluate them individually.
