668 Part V: Index Options and Futures
|
||||
SPAN "margin" applies to futures contracts as well, although volatility consid
|
||||
erations don't mean anything in terms of evaluating the actual futures risk As a first
|
||||
example, consider how SPAN would evaluate the risk of a futures contract.
|
||||
Example: The S&P 500 futures will be used for this example. Suppose that the
|
||||
Chicago Mercantile Exchange determines that the required maintenance margin for
|
||||
the futures is $10,000, which represents a 20-point move by the futures (recall that
|
||||
S&P futures are worth $500 per point). Moreover, the exchange determines that an
|
||||
"extreme" move is 14 points, or $7,000 of risk

The 16 array items are always displayed in this order. Note that since this array
|
||||
is for a futures contract, the "volatility up" and "volatility down" scenarios are always
|
||||
the same, since the volatility that is referred to is the one that is used as the input to
|
||||
an option pricing model.
|
||||
Notice that the actual price of the futures contract is not needed in order to
|
||||
generate the risk array. The SPAN requirement is always the largest potential loss
|
||||
from the array. Thus, if one were long one S&P 500 futures contract, his SPAN mar
|
||||
gin requirement would be $10,000, which occurs under the "futures down three
|
||||
thirds" scenarios. This will always be the maintenance margin for a futures contract.
