Introduction to Derivatives (Reuters Financial Training) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guide provides an extremely clear introduction to derivatives, including futures, options and swaps. The book's heavy use of charts and other graphics, and friendly layout, makes it especially easy to follow. Though it provides only basic information about strategy and pricing, it does clearly outline the risk profiles of several common derivatives trades. This book won't help you master the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, but it will give you a solid understanding of how derivatives work. Overall, a very good introduction.
