Jane Street scandal wipes out 35% of index options premium turnover on NSE
The fallout from Sebi's bombshell market manipulation case against US trading giant Jane Street has sent shockwaves through India's derivatives ecosystem, with NSE index options premium turnover plummeting by over a third as the world's largest derivatives exchange grapples with the absence of one of its biggest players. On Thursday's weekly expiry, NSE options premium turnover stood at just Rs 39,625.77 crore on June 17, recording a 35% decline from June's average expiry day turnover of Rs 60,605 crore, exchange data revealed.

Index options premium turnover serves as a key measure of real capital deployed and risk appetite, while Thursday's options expiry day traditionally represents the most active trading day of the week. The crisis erupted after Sebi banned high-frequency trading behemoth Jane Street from Indian markets earlier this month in a market manipulation case that exposed the stunning scale of the firm's operations. Live Events Sebi's investigation revealed that Jane Street was "consistently running what appeared to be by far the largest risks in 'cash equivalent' terms in F&O, particularly on index option expiry days." The regulator's findings were damning: "what sets apart the trading pattern of the JS Group as prima facie being manipulative, is the intensity and sheer scale of their intervention in the underlying component stock and futures markets." During the examination period, Jane Street raked in jaw-dropping profits of Rs 36,502.12 crore across all segments. Last week, in a bid to return to the Indian markets, Jane Street deposited Rs 4,843.58 crore into an escrow account as it pleaded with Sebi to lift the trading ban. The American quant trading firm has requested that "following the creation of this escrow account in compliance with Sebi directions, certain conditional restrictions imposed under the interim order be lifted and that Sebi issue appropriate directions in this regard," according to Sebi's statement. The regulator confirmed it is currently examining the request in accordance with the directions of the interim order, leaving the market in suspense about Jane Street's fate. Sebi's probe revealed a sophisticated manipulation scheme where Jane Street allegedly used cash equities, stock futures, and index futures segments as tools to move prices, accepting losses in these segments to generate far larger profits in the options segment.

Best aggressive hybrid mutual funds to invest in July 2025
You might have heard from your favorite mutual fund manager or experts that hybrid funds are likely to show their resilience in the coming year. Hybrid mutual funds or schemes that invest mostly in equity and debt fare better in an uncertain or volatile environment. Mutual fund experts believe that the markets are likely to be cautious and investors should also proceed with caution. Aggressive hybrid funds are one of the popular hybrid mutual fund categories. These schemes are mandated to invest in a mix of equity (or stocks) and debt. As per Sebi norms, these schemes must invest 65-80% in stocks, and 20-35% in debt. This mixed portfolio helps to deal with the market volatility better. When the equity market is in turmoil, the debt part of the portfolio softens the blow. This helps new investors to continue with their investments without worrying too much about volatility.

(사실주의) 홈시네라이프 더 알아보기 Undo If you are bothered about the uncertainties and volatility in the market, you can consider investing in aggressive hybrid mutual funds . Mutual fund advisors typically recommend aggressive hybrid fund schemes to 'conservative' equity investors to create wealth to achieve their long-term financial goals. A 'conservative equity investor' is not the same as a conservative investor. A conservative investor doesn't want to take risks at all. These investors typically park their money in bank deposits, bonds, etc which give them predictable returns. A conservative equity investor is ready to take risk, but he or she doesn't want too much risk and volatility. So, a conservative equity investor typically wants to grow wealth without exposing her investments to too much volatility. Live Events Mixed portfolio Another advantage of investing in these schemes is their mixed portfolio of equity and debt. In order to maintain the asset allocation, the fund manager would constantly book profits, and this will boost the returns. Suppose the equity allocation has gone beyond the original plan in a bull market. The fund manager would sell the stocks to maintain the allocation. This profit-booking, over a long period of time, would enhance the returns. Sure, you can do such an allocation and create your own mutual fund portfolio. However, when you book profits, you may have to pay taxes on gains of over Rs 1 lakh in a financial year. A mutual fund, on the other hand, is not liable to pay taxes. This again would help investors to enhance their returns. Now that you know about these schemes, here are the points you should remember before deciding to invest in aggressive hybrid funds. One, the mixed portfolio of these schemes helps you to limit volatility and create wealth over a long period. Two, regular profits booking would help these schemes to boost profits. Three, they offer a tax advantage. Lastly, don't rely on regular dividends from these schemes to draw up a regular income.

Any scheme that invests a minimum 65% in stocks, can't be risk free. Stocks are risky. So, you should be prepared for some volatility in the short period. Here is an update: SBI Equity Hybrid Fund has been in the third quartile in the last six months. The scheme had been in the fourth quartile earlier. Mirae Asset Hybrid Equity Fund has been in the third quartile in the last three months. The scheme had been in the fourth quartile before that. Canara Robeco Equity Hybrid Fund has been in the third quartile for the last 26 months. Note, these schemes have been part of our recommendation list in 2024, too. We have been closely watching these schemes. Please follow our monthly updates if you are investing in these schemes.

Take a look at our methodology: ETMutualFunds has employed the following parameters for shortlisting the hybrid mutual fund schemes. 1. Mean rolling returns: Rolled daily for the last three years. 2. Consistency in the last three years: Hurst Exponent, H is used for computing the consistency of a fund. The H exponent is a measure of the randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds with low H. i) When H = 0.5, the series of returns is said to be a geometric Brownian time series. These types of time series are difficult to forecast. ii) When H is less than 0.5, the series is said to be mean reverting. iii) When H is greater than 0.5, the series is said to be persistent. The larger the value of H, the stronger is the trend of the series 3. Downside risk: We have considered only the negative returns given by the mutual fund scheme for this measure. X = Returns below zero Y = Sum of all squares of X Z = Y/number of days taken for computing the ratio Downside risk = Square root of Z 4. Outperformance i) Equity portion: It is measured by Jensen's Alpha for the last three years. Jensen's Alpha shows the risk-adjusted return generated by a mutual fund scheme relative to the expected market return predicted by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Higher Alpha indicates that the portfolio performance has outstripped the returns predicted by the market. Average returns generated by the MF Scheme = [Risk Free Rate + Beta of the MF Scheme * {(Average return of the index - Risk Free Rate} ii) Debt portion: Fund Return – Benchmark return. Rolling returns rolled daily is used for computing the return of the fund and the benchmark and subsequently the Active return of the fund. 5. Asset size: For Hybrid funds, the threshold asset size is Rs 50 crore
