Managing derivatives risk

the long version

Despite recent criticism, the derivatives market has continued to boom. This wake-up call has reminded investors that derivatives do not eliminate risk, they simply divert it.

Based on the experience of investment banks and capital markets firms throughout the world, Managing Derivatives Risk addresses itself to the challenges that derivatives risk management presents and on the established methods of facing them.
