Bajaj Housing Finance IPO: Offering Details & Index Inclusion
- Bajaj Housing Finance (BHF IN) is looking to list on the exchanges by selling INR 65.6bn of stock at a valuation rumoured to be between INR 560-590bn.
- The anchor allocations will be completed later this week, and the stock is expected to start trading on 16 September.
- Bajaj Housing Finance (BHF IN)‘s maximum float will be around 10% and that will limit inclusion to just one global index in the following 6 months.
EQD / NSE Vol Update / Skew & PCR Indicate Active Use of OTM Puts to Hedge NIFTY50 at All-Time-Highs
- Recovery in Risk-Premia was short-lived. Pressure from a lack of upcoming event-risk has driven short-dated IVs lower.
- Nifty50 at All-Time-Highs – PCR & Skew extend further towards puts. Implying active hedging of core long equity positions using OTM puts.
- “High & Down” Vol-state persists. Expect a continued slide lower in IVs. Retain previous week’s tactical stance – allocations to Short Iron Condors & Skew Harvesting structures.
