Guest lecture session by Mr. Ishu tayal at IIPM Chandigarh

IIPM Chandigarh organized guest lecture for its students on 9-Dec-11. The guest of honor was Mr. Ishu Tayal senior executive BSE. BSE has commenced trading in the Derivatives Segment with effect from June 9, 2000 to enable investors to hedge their risks. Initially, the facility of trading in the Derivatives Segment was confined to Index Futures. Subsequently, BSE has introduced the Index Options and Options & Futures in select individual stocks. Mr. Tayal also told students about Basket Trading System provides the arbitrageurs an opportunity to take advantage of price differences in the underlying Sensex and Futures on the Sensex by simultaneous buying and selling of baskets comprising the Sensex scrips in the Cash Segment and Sensex Futures. This would provide a balancing impact on the prices in both cash and futures markets. The Basket Trading System thus meets the need of investors and also improves the depth in cash and futures markets. The students were really happy about the lecture and were thinking to invest in such things.
