Derivatives Unlocked: A Practitioner's Perspective offers the reader a practical explanation of the key concepts behind the design of financial derivatives. Resolutely selective and user-friendly, this book constitutes a hands-on introduction to both the structuring and use cases of derivatives products in modern global finance.

The book is organised around two parallel streams of content. On the one hand, the Derivatives Toolbox comes as a set of pricing rules that underpin the building blocks of most derivatives products, namely discounting, duration and convexity, interest rates and credit default swaps, forwards and options. The methodology is approachable, simplified whenever possible, and does not require advanced mathematical training.

On the other hand, the Case Studies, largely inspired by real European corporate finance and corporate risk management situations, allow the reader to (i) make explicit use of the techniques learned as he or she progresses through the Toolbox and (ii) to grasp the effective power of derivatives solutions.

Features:

Easy to follow for non-specialists, helping them build a solid and empirical foundation to encourage continued learning. Provides a unique insight, balanced between the acquisition of technical tools and their practical applications Contains numerous case studies and other support material making it suitable for both students and practitioners.
