Product Description
Review
"...there is no question that many industry participants will learn from and enjoy reading his book." (Risk, March 2002)
Product Description
Although the pricing and hedging of derivatives contracts has been the subject of a large number of books, hardly any books exist on the actual design of derivatives contracts. Structured Equity Derivatives fills this gap in a remarkable way. The book introduces an approach to the structuring and practical application of derivatives that allows the reader to create his own derivatives solutions to an endless variety of problems. The approach is extremely natural – the only limit is the reader′s own creativity.
Since it clearly explains the reasons why derivatives exist and why there is such a large variety, this is the book that should be read before picking up any other book on the pricing and hedging of derivatives. As the book concentrates on product design instead of pricing, there are no complex pricing formulas or numerical procedures. The emphasis is on intuition and common sense rather than complex formal results, which makes the book accessible to people from many different backgrounds.

A highly recommeneded book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Structured Equity Derivatives: The Definitive Guide to Exotic Options and Structured Notes (The Wiley Finance Series) (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.Faye Menexe

GREAT BOOK!,
By nt (London England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Structured Equity Derivatives: The Definitive Guide to Exotic Options and Structured Notes (The Wiley Finance Series) (Hardcover)
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars
A general technique for designing structured products,
This review is from: Structured Equity Derivatives: The Definitive Guide to Exotic Options and Structured Notes (The Wiley Finance Series) (Hardcover)
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.
