Financial engineering Rev. ed.

Financial engineering and the use of derivatives is critical for any corporation that needs to manage financial risk. It is vital for business managers to understand the use of derivatives and the risks involved. Written with a clear and concise style, Financial Engineering: Tools and Techniques to Manage Financial Risk carefully explains the tools of financial engineering and defines each instrument in depth. It describes the markets in which they are traded, and explains how each product is priced and hedged. All applications are illustrated with fully-worked practical examples, and recommended tactics and techniques are "tested" by demonstrating the results with recent historical data.
