Publisher: [S.l.] : Oxford University Press, USA, 2002Edition: 1st edDescription: 672 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 0195114701; 9780195114706DDC classification: 332.632 Online resources: Amazon.com | Amazon customer reviews Summary: Derivatives: Valuation and Risk Management deals with the four primary types of derivative contracts: forwards, futures, swaps, and options. It avoids extensive and difficult mathematics, and instead focuses more on intuitive understanding on how to value each contract, and how to compute the relative price. In addition, it shows how each contract can be used to manage financial price risk. Professionals do not take the time to compute prices, values and other relevant variables. They use software. The book incorporates a widely used software package: FinancialCad in the text. After studying an example, it proceeds to show how FinancialCad solves the same problem. This is important, because software users should not use products without understanding what went into the model that produced the solution. By first reading a specific example, they will be able to use FinancialCad with greater confidence.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
