Product Description

Product Description

Derivatives are everywhere in the modern world and it is important for everyone in banking, investment and finance to have a good understanding of the subject. Derivatives Demystified provides a step–by–step guide to the subject, enabling the reader to have a solid, working understanding of key derivative products.

Adopting a highly accessible approach, the author explains derivative products in straightforward terms and without the complex mathematics that underlie the subject, focusing on practical applications, case studies and examples of how the products are used to solve real–world problems. 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.

This new edition will be fully revised to reflect the many changes the derivatives markets have seen over the last three years.  New material will include a comprehensive history of derivatives, leading up to their use and abuse in the current credit crisis.  It will also feature new chapters on regulation and control of derivatives, commodity derivatives, credit derivatives and structured products and new derivative markets including inflation linked and insurance linked products. 

Derivatives Demystified is essential reading for everyone who operates in the financial markets or within the corporate environment who requires a good understanding of these important financial instruments.

Format:Hardcover
I am a big fan of Chisholm's books and judging from the favourable reviews from the first edition and his 'Introduction to capital markets' that sentiment is shared by many. There is no waffle here just clearly explained concepts that cover the major derivative markets. There is no 'geeky' mathematics as any numerical examples are relevant and clearly laid out.

This is a comprehensive guide that will answer most readers' queries without having to refer elsewhere.

Superior product 14 April 2011
By Hodge
Format:Hardcover
This is a bit different from some of the other books around on this subject. Physically, it is a well-produced hardback rather than a paperback, though selling at a reasonable price. (I see there is also a Kindle edition out now.) The content can be read by anyone with an interest in finance and avoids complex mathematics by using lots of simple examples. It follows a logical sequence: 'step-by-step' as it says in the title. Overall a great introduction and easy to follow.

Great update 9 Sep 2010
By Timbers
Format:Hardcover
I have a copy of the first edition but this is a great update. It starts from basics and is very easy to follow. It then covers a lot of ground, including the more exotic options and products such as CDOs, but always in a very clear way. I would thoroughly recommned the book for anyone who wants to get to grip with financial derivatives.
