ANDREW M.CHISHOLM – DERIVATES DEMYSTIFIED

It is important for everyone in banking, investment and finance to have a good understanding of derivatives in the modern world. Derivatives are demystified. A step-by-step guide to the subject gives the reader a solid understanding of key derivative products.

The author explains derivative products in straightforward terms and without the complex mathematics that underlie the subject, focusing on practical applications, case studies and examples of how the products are used to solve real-world problems. Derivatives are demystified. Although there are many applications of derivatives, there are only a small number of basic building blocks, namely forwards and futures, swaps and options. The book shows how each building block is applied to different markets and to the solution of risk management and trading problems.

The derivatives markets have changed over the last three years and this new edition will reflect that. The history of derivatives will be included in the new material. There will be new chapters on regulation and control of derivatives, commodity derivatives, credit derivatives and structured products.

Derivatives are demystified. Everyone who works in the financial markets or in the corporate environment needs a good understanding of these important financial instruments.
