Risk Management Policy

Risk Management Policy

• Introduction

  Investment in securities is susceptible to market risks which cannot be predicted. The Account Opening Document contains an explanation of different types of risks our Customers are likely to face in the market. While the risk of loss is inherent in the market, we as your Broker seek to minimize the risk of loss through a dynamic risk management policy which is an essential feature of our operations. As our customer, it is important for you to be aware of our Risk Management Policy and how the Policy would operate to regulate your transactions. It is also important that the Risk Management Policy is not an insurance against losses; these are measures and precautions that are adopted to contain risks to the minimum. The Policy is subject to change according to our risk perceptions of the market and SEBI/Exchange regulations for the time being in force.

• Scrip Categorization

  For the purpose of risk management, we categorize Scrips listed on NSE and BSE as “Blue Chip”, “Good”, “Average” or “Poor” on the basis of their fundamentals, volatility, liquidity, trading pattern and overall concentration with individual customers. These categorizations form the basis for defining hair-cut on collateral, providing exposure limits, impose trading restrictions, calculate projected risk, prioritize collection, control exchange surveillance related risk, etc.

  • Table

    Criteria	Sub-criteria	Blue Chip	Good	Average	Poor	Restricted
    Financial	Market Cap	>=5000 Cr	>=500 Cr	>=100 Cr	<=100 Cr
    	Net Worth	>=2000 Cr	>=500 Cr	>=100 Cr	<=100 Cr
    	F&O	Yes	No	No	No	No
    	Employee	>=50 Cr	>=10 Cr	>=2 Cr	<=2 Cr	<=0.50 Cr
    	Power	>=50 Cr	>=10 Cr	>=2 Cr	<=2 Cr	<=0.50 Cr
    	Tax	>=50 Cr	>=10 Cr	>=2 Cr	<=2 Cr	<=0.50 Cr

  • Table

    Scrip Category	Criteria for Scrip Selection
    Blue Chip	Market Cap & Net worth should be greater than equal to Rs. 5000 Cr and Rs. 2000 Cr respectively. Moreover, from Employee cost, Power cost & Tax, at least any 2 should be greater than equal to Rs. 50 Cr for last 2 years Scrip should be listed in F&O segment. There is an exception in the rule for banking stocks that if it is listed in F&O market then Employee cost, Power cost and/or Tax may or may not be greater than Rs. 50 Cr.
    Good	Market Cap & Net worth should be greater than equal to Rs. 500 Cr. Moreover, from Employee cost, Power cost & Tax, at least any 2 should be greater than equal to Rs. 10 Cr for last 2 years. Scrip satisfying Blue Chip criteria but not listed in F&O segment should be graded as Good. Bank stocks not listed in F&O segment should also be categorized as Good.
    Average	Market Cap & Net worth should be greater than equal to Rs. 100 Cr. Moreover, from Employee cost, Power cost & Tax, at least any 2 should be greater than equal to Rs. 2 Cr for last 2 years.
    Poor	Market Cap & Net worth should be less than equal to Rs. 100 Cr. Moreover, from Employee cost, Power cost & Tax, at least any 2 should be less than equal to Rs. 2 Cr for last 2 years.
    Restricted Scrips	Employee cost, Power cost & Tax at least any 2 should be less than equal to Rs. 0.50 Cr for last 2 years.

    Note : Based on the above fundamental parameters scrip might qualify in a particular category, but management reserves the right to assign any or lower category based on various other parameters mainly liquidity. The list will be reviewed at the sole discretion of company and the revised list will be updated in the client back office login. However, in extremely volatile market condition, or in case of warnings by regulators/exchanges, scrips may be re-categorized without prior notice and the customers shall regularize their accounts and trade accordingly.

    • Risk Management Policy:

      We understand, that the Company has adopted this policy in its capacity as a SEBI registered intermediary with an objective to mitigate any risks involved in relation to investments made by its clients and handling of client portfolios. However, the policy does not provide for methods to manage any risks arising from its business or the industry in which it operates such as technological, economic and market risks that the Company may be subject to. Pursuant to Regulation 17(9) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements), Regulations, 2015, (the “Listing Regulations”), the board of the Company is required to frame risk management plan and lay down procedures for risks assessments and minimization procedures; and

    • Insider Trading Policy:

      We understand that the company is listed, and is in the process to adopt Code of Fair Disclosure pursuant to Regulation 8(1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 (the “Insider Trading Regulations”) and a Code of Conduct pursuant to Regulation 9(1) of Insider Trading Regulations for dealing in its own securities.
• Assigning Trading Limits

  Margin/Deposit based limits are assigned to the customers for trading purpose. VaR/SPAN margin specified by the exchanges is blocked at scrip level on the positions taken by the clients during the day.

  • Deposit calculation: Deposit is calculated at customer level after netting off ledger balance in all segments and margin pledge share holding lying in Angel. Margin is calculated as follows:
  • Margin = Ledger Balance (Dr/Cr) + Net value after haircut of margin pledge share holding available with Angel.
  • Valuation margin pledge share holding: Margin pledge share holding valuation is done on previous day’s closing price. Net valuation is calculated by applying appropriate haircut based on VaR margin percentage specified by the exchanges or Angel prescribed rates, as the case may be.
  • Extreme market conditions: Limits are assigned based on credit in the ledger. In such conditions, clients will be allowed to buy only to the extent of ledger credit available.
  • Single order quantity and value cap: In order to minimize loss from possible punching errors by a dealer while executing the transaction for a customer, Risk Management of Angel puts restriction by capping the maximum quantity and value per order and orders exceeding that maximum quantity or value cap will be rejected. Angel also sets terminal level limits to contain loss from erroneous trades getting executed. Angel shall not assume any liability in respect of orders rejected by reason of their quantity or value exceeding the cap value.
  • Under Equity market Short Selling is blocked under margin product, same is allowed under “Intraday product” only.
• Auto square off process
  • Risk Square off / Projected Risk Square off:

    Square off value is calculated on the basis of projected risk and square off is done to the tune of exchange VaR OR Angel VaR (whichever is higher)

    Calculation of Projected Risk for Auto Square Off:

    Projected risk = A client is expected to maintain atleast 50 % of the VaR (exchange VaR OR Angel VaR whichever is higher) in order to avoid the projected square off. If the same is not maintained, the client would be qualified for a projected Risk square off and an intimation would be triggered – Client would be given a day time to make good the shortage amount failing which it would be squared off on the following trading day.

    Action in case of projected risk:
    • Holdings (based on the Angel Scrip category) will be liquidated / squared off to the extent of Valid VaR shortage (exchange VaR OR Angel VaR whichever is higher)
    • It is a Potential Risk of a client in occurrence of adverse market condition during the day.
    Sequence of Square Off:

    Sequence of Square off / Liquidation followed: Holdings in the form of securities taken in sequence of Latest settlement (LIFO basis) starting from poor category scrips followed by average, good and blue- chip category scrips. If there is still a requirement, then the collateral is also taken for Square off Along with Cash segment i.e BSE & NSE; the other leverage / derivative segments ledger debits and 50% total margin is considered for calculating projected risk. It is a Potential Risk of a client in occurrence of adverse market condition during the day.

  • Ageing Debit Square off (T+7)

    It is client’s obligation to clear his/her outstanding dues by T+2 (T indicates Trading day). The client shall ensure timely provision of funds to AngelOne Ltd so as to meet exchange obligations. Angel reserves the right to close the positions / sell securities to the extent of ledger debit and /or to the extent of margin obligations.

    Selling will be done in clients account on T+7 days for the ledger debit which is more than T+6 days on ageing basis. For e.g.: All trades executed on Monday will be squared off on next Wednesday (T+7) where T indicates Trading day. In other words, if funds are not received for scrips purchased on Monday by next Tuesday i.e. T+6, Angel shall liquidate securities to the extent of ledger debit.

    Sequence of Square Off:

    Square off will be done considering scrips with old settlement (FIFO) in a sequence of blue chip category first, followed by Good, Average and Poor scrips respectively.

    Where the client has not submitted the POA for the DP account or the DP account is made inactive, Angel will reserve the right to square off such securities if the funds are not received within 6 days from the data of purchase

  • Margin Trading Facility (MTF) square off

    The details of the same is clearly enlisted in the Rights and obligations document

    Applicable minimum initial margin and increased margin, if any, shall be kept supplied at all times by the clients in respect of the stocks purchased under the MTF. Client shall pay any shortage in the required margin immediately on receiving demand (margin call) and in any case not later than 11.00 P.M on the trade day following the day of making the margin call (prescribed time) failing which Angel shall be at liberty to liquidate the funded shares and/or collateral shares to recover the dues outstanding in the account of the Clients.

    In case of extreme volatility in the market, Angel may demand payment of margin forthwith and prescribed time for making margin payment shall be construed accordingly. Decision of Angel in relation to market volatility shall be final and binding without Angel having to provide any reason for the decision to the Client In case there is a shortfall, margin call would be made on T day itself – In the normal market condition, it is expected that the client makes good the shortage within T +3 day failing which the position would be liquidated on T+4 day to the extent of margin shortfall

    However, during volatile market conditions and there being a situation where there is a significant movement in the market, Angel reserves the right to liquidate the holdings much in advance

    Client can view details of his/her ledger, holdings, margin shortfall etc via secured login on AngelOne’s trading website / mobile app. Regular intimations regarding debit, information about shortage and communication regarding liquidation will be sent through SMS and email on the clients’ registered mobile number and email address respectively.

    Square off will be done on LIFO basis, last settled shares from poor to blue-chip category will be considered for square off first followed with unsettled shares from blue-chip to poor category. Scrips eligible for square off are blocked till square off is initiated in all types of square off.

    For a client who has opted for MTF and trades in scrips which are un approved (not part of Group 1 securities) , the outstanding debits will have to be cleared within T + 6 days failing which the aged debit more than the 7th day would be liquidated as per the exchange norms . Sequence of this square off will be LIFO last settled shares from blue-chip to poor category

    Of the above square offs, the priority of the square off would be given to projected risk. At a client level (whether a customer is activated for MTF or is an Non MTF square customer) would come under projected risk if 50% of the Angel stipulated VaR margin is not maintained (as explained under Projected risk square off)

  • CUSA square off process :

    The regulator has asked brokers to start separate client unpaid securities accounts (CUSA), which will hold shares of clients who have not paid for the purchases. Such shares cannot be held for more than seven trading days with broker, after which they have to be sold if the client does not bring in money. Criteria for CUSA liquidation as given below:

    • Total Broking ledger outstanding including margins if any will be adjusted against the available margin pledge holdings and any outstanding post calculations will be triggered in square off.
    • Client will be sent one day prior intimation regarding the square off.
    • CUSA square off will be done to the extent of ledger debit or CUSA holding value whichever is lower.
    • In case of shares payout is failed at CDSL or NSDL due to any reasons of inactive of account will also lead to square off even though client is having credit balances. To avoid non-compliance shares cannot be kept in CUSA account more than 7 days.
    • Shares eligible for due settlement will be square off.
• Margin collection in Cash and Derivative segments

  Margin is collected upfront from all clients in leveraged segments. Daily Mark to Market losses shall have to be paid latest by T+1 day and any shortages in respect of Margin shall be payable forthwith. In case of default to provide Mark to Market losses or Margins accordingly, AngelOne shall be entitled to square off the open market positions without further reference or notice to the Clients. In case of extreme market volatility, margins may be demanded on intra-day basis and Clients should be able to replenish margins on immediate basis to avoid square off. Where market conditions so warrant, AngelOne may demand payment by electronic transfer and refuse to accept payment by cheque. Shortage in Margin shall attract penalty as may be levied by the Exchange. All losses from daily settlements and losses from square off which are not paid shall be recovered by selling available collateral shares of the Client and Client shall be liable to pay the remaining balance forthwith.

  Any debit greater than 5 crores will be reviewed and demand will be made for collections if required. Also action will be taken accordingly in absence of any collections.

  Note: Poor scrips as categorized by Angel (inclusive of BSE & NSE illiquid scrips) will not be accepted as collateral in leverage segments.

  Collateral provided as margins should not be exceeding the concentration values mentioned below as per their categories.

  Restrictions on acceptance of single scrip concentration as per category are given below:

  Scrip Concentration for cash and derivatives segments:

  If any debit arises due to scrip concentration, then client needs to update the funds or transfer other approved securities or reduce the concentrated scrip to the extent of breach value.

  Restrictions on acceptance of single scrip concentration as per category are given below:

  • Acceptance of single “Blue chip” category scrip should not be more than 3 crores.
  • Acceptance of single “Good” category scrips should not be more than 50 lacs and,
  • Acceptance of single “Average” category scrips should not be more than 20 lacs.

  Over and above the category cap, we will not allow our clients to go beyond 0.5% of the market cap of the company in single scrip

  In case of deviation to the above deviations, a time period of 7 days would be given. However, in cases of volatile market conditions or cases where there is abnormal movement in the underlying or due to any other reason where the risk management team feels that the position cannot be allowed to continue, the leeway of the 7 days may be withdrawn and the position may be liquidated

  Angel also has capped single scrip / instrument wise exposure limits. No client will be allowed to go beyond this exposure limits set in a single scrip / instrument

  Intraday Product

  • Product Features:

    Intraday product is designed for higher market exposure to Clients in Equity Cash /Derivatives / Currency and Commodity markets, against a given investment. This product is suitable to Clients who are keen to make most out of favorable market movement from a given investment. The product allows the Client market exposure several times more than what would otherwise be possible in the normal order types with a given amount as margin. Intraday products are opened for the day and squired off the same day, following certain pre-defined logic.

    How it works (Example):

    In a regular margin based trading scenario, on Rs. 18,000/- as margin in the derivative segment, a Client would be able to take one NIFTY, if one NIFTY is Rs. 2 lakh and the margin required is 9%. By opting for our Intraday product, against the same amount of Rs. 18,000/- a Client can obtain as many as 6 NIFTY contracts, which would mean 6 times higher return on the same investment.

    How to place Orders as Intraday Product:

    To trade in this product, Orders have to be placed specifically marked as “Intraday” trade. Clients may place orders for this product in offline or online modes, as in the case of regular orders.

    Benefit of limit multiplier:

    Clients have the option of choosing the number of times higher exposure (multiplier) is required by them subject to the maximum multiplier limit prescribed for the segment.

    Table

    	Limit
    Equity Futures and Options Sell , EQ Cash, commodity futures & currency future	1 x
    Options Buy - Equity , Currency & Commodities / NCDEX future	1 x

    The margin blocked against a unit of INTRADAY position is a reduced amount proportionally inverse to the limit multiplier chosen. For e.g. if the limit multiplier is 5, the margin blocked against per unit open position would be 1/5th of the margin that would be required for the same exposure in a normal trade.

    Intraday Position Square off:

    All Intraday positions shall be squared off the same day following a predefined logic, automatically. Square off in different segments shall be carried out as per the time schedule shown below:

    Table

    Segment	Square off time (Time based square off)
    Capital and Derivative Segments of equity market	Between 3.15 p.m and closure of the market
    Commodity Segments	Between 11.15 p.m. and market closure when the market closes at 11.30 p.m. Between 11.30 p.m. and market closure when the market closes at 11.55 p.m.
    Currency and Agro Commodities	Between 4.45 pm and closure of the market

    However, if the market loss on “Intraday” positions reaches 80% (the trigger) of the total funds (cash and cash equivalent of collateral securities as adjusted to hair cut) available, the “INTRADAY” positions would be closed out as soon as the trigger is reached. In this case, all open positions across all segments, i.e., including positions other than Intraday positions, will also get squared off simultaneously. The Risk Management System of Angel (RMS) will constantly monitor the “Intraday” positions for the Clients and close them out accordingly.

    After the positions are squared off, whether time-based or trigger based, no fresh Intraday positions would be allowed for the day and all pending orders would be cancelled. Clients have the option of squaring off the Intraday positions any time before they are squared off as per the above pre-defined logic. They will also have the option to convert INTRADAY positions before they are squared off into CARRYFORWARD positions as explained below.

    Angel will notify the Clients through SMS and/or emails, if the Intraday positions incur MtoM loss. SMS intimation would be sent when the MtoM loss is at 50%, 70% and 80% of the total funds (cash and cash equivalent of collateral securities as adjusted to hair cut) in the Client account. Client may make payment online (net transfer) to replenish funds so that compulsory square off trigger is not activated which shall be across positions in all segments.
