Product Description

Product Description
The 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. Case studies and examples of how the products are used to solve real–world problems, as well as an extensive glossary and material on the latest derivative products make this book a must have for anyone working with derivative products.

From the Inside Flap
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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and clear introduction, 14 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This is a really good introduction to derivative products. I have tried a lot of other books in this field and ended up thinking that they were far too complicated and obscure. This book is written in a very clear and simple way, and finally I have a real understanding of what is going on derivative products, a subject I need to understand for my job in banking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says in the title, 21 Mar 2005
This book cuts through the jargon and the mystique surrounding derivatives. It explains the essentials in a very simple and intuitive way, with lots of examples and cases. The writing style is very polished. I would strongly recommend it to people working in banking and financial services generally. It would also serve as a good introductory text on options and derivatives for students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 26 Mar 2007
By Michael Burgess (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have not yet completed this book - however, as someone outside of finance wanting to bridge a gap of knowledge in this area, I found this book to be the only one written in a clear and concise manner.

I've only had to re-read a couple of early sections to get over confusion and in the main found most topics sunk in pretty quickly.

In terms of pages for money, it's expensive. However, I'd rather pay for this and understand what's going on than have a 1000 page monster that serves as nothing more than confusion.

Would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to get an understand of derivatives and it's associated products. The fundamentals are actually clear once they sink in and you soon see how they relate to trading in the real world.
