Format:Hardcover
It is the best book I have ever read on derivative instruments and portfolio insurance. It teaches you how you should thing when solving problems using derivatives while it does not provide ready- to- eat solution which you do not know where there have come from. This book is not for those who reckon that derivatives are pure maths. It is for those who like to use maths as a tool of description as the author does not present in his book extensive mathimatical derivations. Finally this book attempts to join the pieces of the puzzle one may have in his head about portfolio insurance and in my opinion the autor succeeds that.

This book has clearly shown me how all the theory I learnt from books such as Hull, Natenberg and Taleb gets applied in practice.
Prof. Kat ingeniously makes the reader understand many option strategies such as risk-reversals, call-spreads, rainbow options, alternative options etc... without throwing them at the reader. He makes the reader figure them out by himself; and this guarantees they will never be forgotten.
Prof. Kat's book also includes an excellent overview of how to structure and market derivative products to the retail investor.
All in all, I strongly recommend this book... It is EXCELLENT!

This book describes an approach to structuring products that is accessible to a much wider audience than many other, more technical books in this area. It is a very useful introduction to the whole subject of equity derivatives. Harry Kat's inimitable writing style makes this book very easy and enjoyable reading.
