Strategy Risks

Capital Risk:

Investments or trades are subject to market, economic, regulatory, market sentiment, and political risks. In view of these risks, the strategy may experience high volatility from time to time. The value of the investment may become worth more or less than at the time of the original investment. The investors or traders should consider these risks that may impact their capital, before investing.

Derivatives and Leverage:

The product or strategy uses derivatives which shall result in increased leverage and may lead to significant losses.

Price and Liquidity Risk:

  • The product or strategy may suggest trades and investments in high volatile phases of markets and may also hold positions that may become illiquid.
  • The risk of overpaying for a company may happen due to abnormal behavioral aspects in the markets.
  • Proper timely exit or cost of efficient sale can be impaired due to reduced trading volumes or increased price volatility.

Market Risk:

The product or strategy is subject to regular market fluctuations (or volatility) and the risks are associated with trading or investing in financial markets. Therefore the value of asset or investment and income from the asset or investment shall rise or fall and you may not get back the originally invested amount. In the case of derivatives, you may even lose more than the originally invested amount.

Long Short Strategy Risk:

The underlying or strategy could face higher losses if its long and short exposures move unfavorably or both in opposite directions at the same time.

Short Selling Risk:

A short sale exposes the strategy or product to the risk of an increase in the price of the underlying (or derivatives); this could result in a theoretically unlimited loss.

The additional risks of using derivatives strategies can be:

  • Illiquidity and mispricing of the Futures/Options.
  • Lack of opportunities.
  • The inability of derivatives to perfectly correlate with the underlying (Stocks, Indices, Assets).
  • The cost of a hedge can be higher than the adverse impact of market movements during high volatile periods.
  • Exposure to hedging over and above the hedging requirements can lead to losses.
  • Exposure to derivatives strategies can also limit the profits from a genuine investment transaction.
  • The prices which are seen on the screen need not be the same at which execution will take place.
  • In the case of option writing, the downside of the strategy could be more than the option premium earned.
