HEDGING PERFORMANCE of TURKISH STOCK INDEX FUTURES

Year 2017, Volume: 6 Issue: 12, 133 - 141, 22.08.2017

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the hedging effectiveness of Future
index contracts traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange during the 2008 global
financial crisis. Data set covers the period from February 2, 2005 to July 7,
2009. This research also provides an empirical econometric technique in the
context of hedging the market risk using the ISE 30 index futures contract of
the Turkish Derivatives Market.
For this purpose, we have estimated optimal stock
index futures hedge ratio for BIST-30 stock index using bivariate VAR (7)-MGARCH
(1,1) Model. The results showed that stock index futures contracts in TURDEX
are effective tool for hedging risk, which is consistent with most of the earlier
studies in index futures. We also did not observe a change in the hedge ratio
during the global crisis period.  Investors
who are interested in the Istanbul stock market can benefit from the results of
this study by developing appropriate model in order to reduce their risk more
efficiently.

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı
2008 finansal krizi sırasında İstanbul Menkul Kıymetler Borsası üzerinde işlem
gören vadeli endeks sözleşmelerinin hedge etkinliğini araştırmaktır.Veri seti 2
Şubat 2005 ve 7 Temmuz 2009 arası dönemi kapsamaktadır. Çalışma Türkiye Vadeli
İşlemler ve Opsiyon Piyasası’nda ISE30 endeks vadeli sözleşmesini kullanarak
pazar riskine karşı koruma etkinliğini ampirik bir teknik ile göstermektedir. Bu
amaçla, optimum borsa endeks hedge oranını BIST- 30 hisse senedi endeksi için
iki değişkenli VAR(7)-MGARCH(1,1) modeli ile tahmin edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre,
borsa endeks sözleşmeleri için yapılan ilk çalışmalara benzer olarak borsa
endeks sözleşmeleri risk yönetimi için etkili bir araçtır. Kriz dönemi içinse
hedge oranında bir değişim gözlemlenmemiştir. Borsa İstanbul’la ilgilenen yatırımcılar
risklerini daha etkili bir şekilde yönetmek ve model geliştirmek için bu
çalışmadan yararlanabilirler.
