First, let us clarify the concept of the bond. The bond is a percentage of the funds that an investor is required to pay to a futures company to carry out futures transactions as a financial guarantee for the performance of futures contracts. It is the basis upon which futures transactions can take place and an important means of controlling the risk of transactions. The bond is divided into initial and maintenance bonds. The initial bond is the deposit required by the investor to open the warehouse, while the maintenance bond is the minimum level of the bond that the account must maintain during the holding period. When the account bond is lower than the maintenance bond, the investor is notified of the additional bond。
Leverage refers to futures transactions in which investors can control contracts of greater value with fewer bonds. The leverage function is like a double-edged sword that magnifies both profit and loss. The leverage formula is: the leverage multiple = the contractual value bond. For example, if the value of a futures contract is $100,000 and the investor pays a deposit of $10,000, the leverage factor is 100,000 ÷10,000 = 10 times. This means that investors can control contracts worth $100,000 with $10,000。
Let's look at the relationship between leverage and bonds. The formula shows that the leverage multiple is inversely related to the bond. The lower the bond, the higher the leverage multiplier; and, conversely, the higher the bond, the lower the leverage multiple. For example, when the bond ratio is 10 per cent, the leverage factor is 1 ÷10 = 10 times; when the bond ratio is 20 per cent, the leverage factor becomes 1 ÷20 = 5 times。
In order to understand more intuitively the relationship between leverage and bonds, we have illustrated it through a specific example. Assuming that both investor a and investor b were involved in the transaction of a futures contract, the value of the contract was $50,000. Investor a's futures companies require 5 per cent and investor b's futures companies require 10 per cent. Investor a is then required to pay a deposit of 50,000 x 5 per cent = 2,500 yuan, and a leverage multiplier of 5 per cent = 20 times; and investor b is required to pay a deposit of 50,000 x 10 per cent = 5,000 yuan, and a leverage bond of 10 per cent = 10 times. If the futures contract increases by 10 per cent, or a profit of $5,000, the return on investor a is 5,000 ÷ 2,500 = 200 per cent, and the return on investor b is 5,000 ÷ 5,000 = 100 per cent. As can be seen, the higher the leverage multiplier, the higher the yield. But if the price falls by 10 per cent, investor a will also have a deficit of 200 per cent, while investor b will have a loss of 100 per cent. This also amply illustrates the magnification of leverage。
In actual transactions, investors need to be resilient to their own risksInvestment strategyTo make a reasonable choice of the margin ratio and leverage multiple. In general, investors with lower risk tolerance can choose a higher margin ratio and a lower leverage multiplier to reduce transaction risk; and investors with higher risk tolerance and investment experience can appropriately select a lower bond ratio and a higher leverage multiplier to generate higher returns。
