Summary:

Derivatives are everywhere in the modern world and it is important
for everyone in banking, investment and finance to have a good
understanding of the subject. Derivatives Demystified provides a
step-by-step guide to the subject, enabling the reader to have a
solid, working understanding of key derivative products. Adopting a
highly accessible approach, 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 Demystified follows a sequence that is designed
to show that, 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
various risk management and trading problems. This new edition will
be fully revised to reflect the many changes the derivatives markets
have seen over the last three years. New material will include a
comprehensive history of derivatives, leading up to their use and
abuse in the current credit crisis. It will also feature new chapters
on regulation and control of derivatives, commodity derivatives,
credit derivatives and structured products and new derivative markets
including inflation linked and insurance linked products. Derivatives
Demystified is essential reading for everyone who operates in the
financial markets or within the corporate environment who requires a
good understanding of these important financial instruments.
