Description

A clear, practical guide to working effectively with derivative securities products

Derivatives Essentials is an accessible, yet detailed guide to derivative securities. With an emphasis on mechanisms over formulas, this book promotes a greater understanding of the topic in a straightforward manner, the use of plain-English explanations. Mathematics are included, but the point of interest is on comprehension and the issues that matter most to practitioners—including the rights and obligations, terms and conventions, opportunities and exposures, trading, motivation, sensitivities, pricing, and valuation of each product. Coverage includes forwards, futures, options, swaps, and related products and trading strategies, with practical examples that demonstrate each concept in action. The companion website provides Excel files that illustrate pricing, valuation, sensitivities, and strategies discussed in the book, and practice and assessment questions for each chapter mean you can strengthen your learning and gauge the depth of your understanding.

Derivative securities are a complex topic with many “moving parts,” but practitioners should possess a full working knowledge of these products to use them effectively. This book promotes a in point of fact internalized understanding somewhat than rote memorization or strict quantitation, with clear explanations and true-to-life examples.

  • Understand the concepts in the back of derivative securities
  • Delve into the nature, pricing, and offset of sensitivities
  • Learn how different products are priced and valued
  • Examine trading strategies and practical examples for each product

Pricing and valuation is important, but understanding the fundamental nature of each product is critical—it will give you the power to wield them more effectively, and exploit their natural behaviors to achieve both short- and long-term market goals. Derivatives Essentials provides the clarity and practical perspective you want to master the effective use of derivative securities products.
