About this program
Derivatives markets are large, diverse, sophisticated and represent billions of dollars in trade worldwide. Their increased popularity is seen in the growing acceptance of their importance as a risk management technique. This program uses examples and case studies to highlight the role of derivatives in managing and profiting from risk. It then outlines the key characteristics and basic pricing for instruments such as forward rate agreements, futures, interest rate swaps, options, caps, floors and collars.
