In recent times, derivatives have been inaccurately labelled the
financial weapons of mass destruction responsible for the worst
financial crisis in recent history. Inherently complex and perilous
for the ill-informed investment professional they can however also
be gainfully harnessed.
This book is a practical guide to the complexities of exotic
products written in simple terms based on the premise that
derivatives are not homogenous, and not necessarily dangerous.
By exploring common themes behind the construction of various
structured products in interest rates, equities and foreign
exchange, and investigating the economic environment that promoted
the explosive growth of these products, this book will help readers
make sense of their relevance in this period of economic
uncertainty. Subsequently, by explaining exotic products with
simple mathematics, it will aid readers in understanding their
potential use in certain investment strategies whilst having a firm
control over risk.
Exotic products need not be inaccessible. By understanding the
products available investors can make informed decisions ensuring
features are consistent with their investment objectives and risk
preferences. Author Chia Chiang Tan takes readers through the risks
and rewards of each product, illustrating when products can damage
investment strategies and how to avoid them, leading to suitable,
profitable investments.
Ultimately, this book will provide practitioners with an
understanding of derivatives, enabling them to determine for
themselves which products will fit their investment strategy, and
how to use them based on the economic environment and inherent
risks.
