Risk Factor

Beginning with an overview of financial markets, basic contracts and the legal framework that regulates them, Terry Carroll presents an array of risk management strategies, analysing the pros and cons of each and showing how to apply them in practice. Areas covered include the regular derivatives such as options, swaps, caps and collars to the more regulated exchange contracts and the inter-bank market. The final section presents, step-by-step, modern tactical strategies you need to protect a business from - and to capitalize on - currency, commodity, and interest-rate fluctuations.
