Changes to <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> Futures Contracts<br />
The WSE is planning to introduce <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong><br />
<strong>20</strong> into trading on the exchange on 23 September <strong>20</strong>13<br />
<strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> will replace currently listed<br />
<strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10<br />
This presentation explains how existing <strong>contracts</strong> will be replaced <strong>with</strong> new<br />
<strong>contracts</strong> and what are the advantages <strong>of</strong> the change<br />
The above date <strong>of</strong> the introduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> into trading is the scheduled date. The actual<br />
date <strong>of</strong> the introduction <strong>of</strong> the new instruments will be determined in the relevant resolution <strong>of</strong> the Exchange Management<br />
Board which will be published on the WSE website. The timeline <strong>of</strong> the replacement <strong>of</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> shown in the presentation<br />
assumes that the process will begin on 23 September <strong>20</strong>13.<br />

What Is a Multiplier?<br />
WIG <strong>20</strong> <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> are listed in index points. In order to determine the value<br />
<strong>of</strong> a contract, it is necessary to determine the value <strong>of</strong> an index point. This value is<br />
determined by the <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> a contract.<br />
Currently the WSE lists <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10<br />
In September <strong>20</strong>13, the WSE is planning to introduce <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a<br />
<strong>multiplier</strong> which will be double the existing <strong>multiplier</strong> and equal to <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />

How to Determine Contract Value?<br />
To determine the value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong>,<br />
multiply the price <strong>of</strong> the <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> by <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
The value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> will be double the value <strong>of</strong><br />
a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10<br />
Example<br />
Price <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract = 2,300 index points<br />
Value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10 = <strong>PLN</strong> 23,000<br />
Value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> = 46,000<br />
-4-
What Will Be the Amount <strong>of</strong> Margins?<br />
A higher value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>futures</strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> implies* higher<br />
margins.<br />
Ask your brokerage house about the amount <strong>of</strong> margins on<br />
<strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
*Day traders should ask their brokers about intraday margins. Intraday margins are lower than margins on<br />
positions that are not closed <strong>with</strong>in the trading session. Some brokerage houses <strong>of</strong>fer or are planning to <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
intraday margins.<br />
-5-
What Will Be the Tick Value?<br />
The tick <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10 is 1 index point and the tick<br />
value is <strong>PLN</strong> 10.<br />
For <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong>, the tick is also 1 index point but the<br />
tick value is double the existing tick value and equal to <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
Any change in the price <strong>of</strong> new <strong>contracts</strong> by 1 index point will imply<br />
a GAIN* or LOSS* <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> to the investor<br />
* gross gain/loss net <strong>of</strong> transaction fees<br />
-6-
What Will Be the Transaction Fee?<br />
The transaction fee charged by the WSE to Exchange Members (brokerage houses)<br />
on trading in <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> will be the same as<br />
the fee charged on trading in <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10<br />
Clients <strong>of</strong> brokerage houses should ask their broker<br />
about the amount <strong>of</strong> commissions on trading in<br />
<strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
-7-
Advantages <strong>of</strong> the New Multiplier (1)<br />
The key advantage <strong>of</strong> new <strong>contracts</strong> is the tick value, which is double that <strong>of</strong><br />
currently listed <strong>contracts</strong><br />
The tick value <strong>of</strong> existing <strong>futures</strong> <strong>contracts</strong> is <strong>PLN</strong> 10 and that <strong>of</strong> new <strong>contracts</strong> will<br />
be <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
Assuming that commissions charged by brokers to clients will remain unchanged,<br />
many investors will for the first time be able to make gains on change <strong>of</strong><br />
the contract price by only one tick<br />
-8-
Advantages <strong>of</strong> the New Multiplier (2)<br />
Example<br />
The commission per contract is <strong>PLN</strong> 6<br />
Consequently, the commission for opening and closing a position in one contract is<br />
<strong>PLN</strong> 12 (i.e., <strong>PLN</strong> for opening + <strong>PLN</strong> 6 for closing <strong>of</strong> the position)<br />
If the price <strong>of</strong> a <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> contract <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> changes by 1 index<br />
point in the direction expected by the investor, the investor will gain <strong>PLN</strong> 8 (<strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
– <strong>PLN</strong> 12)<br />
For <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10, a change <strong>of</strong> the contract price by 1<br />
index point does not <strong>of</strong>fset the transaction cost<br />
-9-
Advantages <strong>of</strong> the New Contract (3)<br />
The table below presents a comparison <strong>of</strong> Gain / Loss on investment in <strong>contracts</strong><br />
<strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong> and <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10 (assuming a<br />
commission on <strong>contracts</strong> at <strong>PLN</strong> 6)<br />
Change <strong>of</strong> contract price<br />

(one tick)<br />
+ <strong>PLN</strong> 8 - <strong>PLN</strong> 2<br />
2 points + <strong>PLN</strong> 28 + <strong>PLN</strong> 8<br />
3 points + <strong>PLN</strong> 48 + <strong>PLN</strong> 18<br />

Other Parameters in the Standard<br />
Specification <strong>of</strong> New Contracts<br />
New <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> will be different from currently listed <strong>WIG<strong>20</strong></strong> <strong>contracts</strong> only in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> the <strong>multiplier</strong>. All other parameters <strong>of</strong> the standard specification <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>contracts</strong> will remain unchanged<br />
Since <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> 10 and <strong>contracts</strong> <strong>with</strong> a <strong>multiplier</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>PLN</strong> <strong>20</strong><br />
are scheduled to be listed in parallel until <strong>20</strong> June <strong>20</strong>14, the ticker symbol <strong>of</strong> new<br />
<strong>contracts</strong> will be different from the ticker symbol <strong>of</strong> existing <strong>contracts</strong><br />
The ticker symbol <strong>of</strong> new <strong>contracts</strong> will be determined in the standard specification<br />
<strong>of</strong> the instrument. In this presentation, new <strong>contracts</strong> are marked <strong>with</strong> an asterisk,<br />
e.g., FW<strong>20</strong>Z13*<br />
