What is a Lot Size in Options Trading

The lot size plays a significant role in Futures and Options trading. If you need to get a clear understanding of Futures and Options, lot size is the primary concept you need to go through.

In this blog, we will figure out what a lot size is and how different derivative contracts have different lot sizes.

What is a Lot Size?

A lot size refers to a fixed quantity of shares one can buy or sell as per the contracts.

If you have been into trading for more than 6 months or more, you may have heard that a company has x number of lot sizes. This simply means that the company has fixed its shares a lot.

The Security and Exchange Board of India decides the lot size of stocks and indices that are traded on NSE and BSE. For instance, Nifty Future has a lot size of 50 which means if someone wants to buy Nifty Futures, he wants to trade in the multiple of 50 as the lot size of Nifty is 50.

Like Nifty Futures, equity futures also have a lot of sizes. For example, Reliance Futures has a lot size of 250. If someone buys a lot of Reliance Futures which are currently trading at Rs 5500, that means the value of Reliance Futures is 250*5500=1,375,000

How are Futures and Options' Lot Size Decided?

SEBI is the apex body that decides the lot size of each company that is involved in stock trading. When Futures and Options trading came into existence, it was the regulatory body that had decided the notional value of Rs 2,000,00.

After deciding the notional value, SEBI fixes lot size to a certain number that would value more than 2 Lakh when multiplied by the market value. It was done to save the losses of small investors who try Futures and Options.

When SEBI noticed that more lots were purchased by the retail investors, it revised the lot value to Rs 5 Lakh. New additions were introduced after F&O, which kept the lot value to Rs 7.5 Lakh.

Also, the proposal came in front of SEBI to change the value of lot size to Rs 10 Lakh so that only risk-bearing investors can trade in the F&O.

Why are Lot Sizes Modified?

When SEBI notices any major changes in the value of shares that would make significant divergence with the lot values, the regulator revises the lot sizes.

Let’s understand with an example: XYZ company has a lot size of 1500. The F&O trading price is Rs 555, hence the lot value is Rs 8,32,500.

Suppose the trading price of a share rises up to Rs 1000. As per the fixed lot size, the total value of the lot will become Rs 15 lakh which will be a big divergence from the decided lot value.

By seeing the case, the stock market regulator may take action to revise the lot size to a downward price which would be a better reflection of the lot value.

The reverse case also happens. In these types of cases, the lot size has been revised upward so that it is more compatible with the indicative value.

Purpose of Lot Size in Options Trading

The primary reason to trade in lots in F&O is standardization. The standardization can be done in several ways. Futures and Options across indices come with 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months tenure.

Many of you have heard the saying “ Don't put all the eggs in one basket”.

This means if a farmer gets stumbled while carrying the egg basket, he could end up in a messy situation as all the eggs present inside the basket become messy which makes the whole basket dirty.

The meaning of the words perfectly said that don't risk all of your money on a single investment.

Diversification protects your investment as it allows you to invest in multiple asset classes which in turn saves you from losses that could happen in one particular sector.

Let’s understand with an example: Everyone knows about the equity crash that happened in 2008-09.

As per the reports, during the 2008-09 period, equities crashed by 39%. Had you invested all the money into equities, you would have probably been into major losses.

In any case, if you had spread all of your investment into different asset classes, such as equity trading, debt, commodity trading etc, you would have been saved from huge losses.

In 2008-09, gold gave outstanding stock trading returns of 24%. The same went for debt. In the next two years, post-2008-09, the equities were seeing a rising mode as it would go up by 24% while other asset classes stopped giving good returns.

What is Portfolio Diversification

Portfolio diversification refers to investing your money across multiple asset classes which not only helps your money grow but helps you mitigate your losses to a greater extent.

In diversification, you owe different stocks from multiple industries, countries, commodities and other investments such as gold, silver, bonds, government instruments, and real estate.

Investing money in various sectors minimizes the permanent loss of capital and the volatility of the overall portfolio.

The Real Purpose of Diversification

The primary motive of diversification is to minimize risks. But no one can achieve that by investing in highly safe instruments such as government investment schemes like PPF, Treasury bills, RBI bonds, NSCs etc.

This is because investing all of your money into government schemes will significantly reduce your overall returns. For instance, investing all of your money in NSCs, and PPF debt options won't help you get outstanding returns.

The portfolio should be filled with equity-related instruments, only then you would be able to achieve handsome returns in less time.

For those who believe in government investment schemes, you should remember that most of these schemes have a high tax. Hence, your post-tax return would come out as very low.

Many of you would love to gain good returns over less period of time, that too without taking a risk. This cannot happen in real life. To get ample results from your investments, you need to take a reasonable level of risk.

What Should Be An Ideal Portfolio?

An ideal portfolio should be one that has more than 5 asset classes.

Here are the tips for getting an ideal portfolio:

1) Include 10 + More Stocks Of Various Sectors into your Portfolio

Investing in multiple sectors is the best way to build your portfolio. Stocks of multiple carry their own weightage which will increase your portfolio’s value. Also, stocks of different sectors will minify your risks at a certain level.

Suppose, if the stocks of IT keep on falling and other sectors of stocks of crude oil and pharmaceutical companies grow, will eventually balance your portfolio in a much better way.

Don't fill your stocks with one particular sector. It does look tempting to buy many stocks of the well-known giants, but it’s not a complete diversification.

For instance, if a sector gets affected by the economic slowdown, the company's shares would fall.

2) Reserve a Portion of Portfolio into Fixed Income

Many investors suggest putting a small portion of fixed income assets in their portfolios. Fixed income instruments like government bonds, may give fewer returns compared to equities but they will also reduce a portfolio’s risk profile and volatility.

The stock market is full of volatility. In many cases, we have seen where the investors lose a great amount of money by investing heavily in equities. In such cases, people find fixed income instruments a great way of investment as they provide them with easy and secured returns.

ETFs are the best example of fixed income securities.

3) Invest in Real Estate

Investors who want to make a strong portfolio should invest in real estate. It is seen that putting money into real estate not only increases your return but also minimizes your portfolio’s volatility.

Factors That Impact the Portfolio:

Age

Age is an important factor in asset allocation. Investment experts say that young investors need to invest a lot in the equity segment. Investors aged 25 to 35 should have equity allocations of 75% to 80% while people of age more than 35 years should have lower equity allocations.

Willingness to Take Risks

Investors, especially the young ones, should have a willingness to take a certain risk during their investment journey. This is the time when you can learn a lot of things even from your failures.

Many people are often afraid of the term failure, but the term itself teaches you many lessons in real life.

If you are a beginner but want to earn a lot of wealth from the stock market, there are many things you need to learn. Stock picking is not the easy thing as it seems to be. It requires a lot of stock market research, analysis and most importantly knowing the market volatility.

For generating better returns, you need to put money into the stock market, then only you will get to know how the stock market exactly functions well.

Focus on Long Term Investing

New investors need to understand long term investing. Beginners think that 6 months or 1 year is the best holding period, however, it is not correct. One year of equity holdings will not give you satisfactory returns as there are taxes included in it.

For generating better wealth, you need to hold your equities for at least 5 years.

Don’t Over-Diversify

Many investors think that the more they add stocks to their portfolio, the more will be their wealth. Hence, they keep adding more stocks to their portfolio. Modern portfolio theory says that investors should keep 10-15 stocks of one sector in their portfolio.

Final Thoughts

Portfolio diversification doesn't mean that you will never incur any losses. The role of diversification is to mitigate risks against stock market volatility. Diversification can reduce the risk up to a certain level.

If you want to achieve huge stock trading returns, make the investment a long term journey. Maintain a good balance between risk and return, only then you will become an ace investor.

Introduction:

1.What is Compounding?

Compounding refers to the process where the returns earned on an investment generate additional returns over time. This means that investors not only earn returns on their initial investment but also on the returns accumulated in previous periods. The longer you stay invested, the greater the compounding effect, as your returns start generating their own returns, leading to exponential growth.

2. How Compounding Works in Investments

Compounding returns work by reinvesting your earnings back into the principal amount. Over time, these reinvested returns increase the overall value of your investment, leading to more significant returns in the future.

Example:

• If you invest ₹10,000 at an annual interest rate of 10%, your investment will grow to ₹11,000 after one year. In the second year, you’ll earn 10% on ₹11,000 instead of just ₹10,000, and so on.
• After 5 years, this same ₹10,000 will grow to ₹16,105, not just ₹15,000.

3. Strategies to Receive Compounding Returns

a. Long-Term Investing

Staying invested for the long term allows compounding to work its magic. The more time your investment has to grow, the higher your compounding returns will be.

Example:

• HDFC Bank: If you had invested in HDFC Bank's stock in 2010 and held onto it, your returns would have grown manifold over the past decade, driven by both stock appreciation and reinvested dividends.

b. Reinvesting Dividends

Many companies offer dividend payouts to shareholders. By reinvesting these dividends instead of cashing them out, you allow the dividends to start earning returns, adding to the compounding effect.

Example:

• Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): Reinvesting dividends received from TCS over the years would have allowed you to benefit from not only stock price growth but also compounded dividend returns.

c. Regular Contributions to Investments

Adding more money to your investments regularly increases the base amount on which compounding occurs. This strategy accelerates the growth of your investment over time.

Example:

• If you invest ₹5,000 monthly in a mutual fund that offers a 12% annual return, the power of compounding over 10-20 years can significantly multiply your wealth.

d. Investing in Growth Stocks

Growth stocks are companies that reinvest their earnings into expanding their business rather than paying dividends. These stocks tend to appreciate faster, and if held long term, they can offer substantial compounding benefits.

Example:

• Reliance Industries: Investors who purchased Reliance stock over the past decade have seen their investment multiply due to the company’s rapid growth and expansion into various sectors.

e. Start Early

Starting your investment journey as early as possible gives compounding more time to work. Even small contributions made early can grow substantially by the time you retire.

Example:

• If you invest ₹1,00,000 at age 25 and it grows at a 12% annual rate, by the time you turn 50, your investment will be worth more than ₹10,00,000. The earlier you start, the more time compounding has to magnify your wealth.

4. The Rule of 72: Estimating Compounding Growth

The Rule of 72 is a simple formula to estimate how long it will take for your investment to double through compounding. Divide 72 by your expected annual return to find out the approximate number of years.

Example:

• If your investment offers an 8% return, it will take approximately 9 years (72 ÷ 8) for your money to double.

5. Key Factors that Enhance Compounding Returns

• Time Horizon: The longer you stay invested, the more your returns compound.
• Rate of Return: Higher returns accelerate the compounding effect.
• Reinvestment: Reinvesting dividends and capital gains adds to the base investment, boosting compounding.
• Discipline: Regularly contributing to your investments and avoiding impulsive withdrawals can maximize compounding benefits.

6. Conclusion:

The Power of Compounding

Compounding is a powerful strategy for wealth creation, especially when applied over a long time frame. By starting early, reinvesting earnings, and making regular contributions, you can take full advantage of compounding returns. Whether you invest in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, the key to maximizing compounding returns is patience, discipline, and a long-term perspective.
