SynopsisThe book is a step-by-step guide to derivative products. By distilling the complex mathematics and theory that underlie the subject, Chisholm explains derivative products in straightforward terms, focusing on applications and intuitive explanations wherever possible.

Derivatives Demystified provides a step-by-step guide to the subject, enabling the reader to have a solid, working understanding of key derivative products.

The book shows how each building block is applied to different markets and to the solution of various risk management and trading problems. Thoroughly up-to-date, the author includes explanations of later-generation products such as barrier options, cliquets and choosers. There are also sections on credit default and equity swaps and there are full chapters devoted to convertible and exchangeable bonds and to structured products such as equity-linked notes and bonds issued through synthetic securitization. The final chapter has information on the financial calculations that underpin the derivatives market, for those who wish to explore this topic.
