Praise for Interest Rate Swaps and Their Derivatives "This is
it! I have been looking for a practitioner''s guide to interest rate
derivatives for over ten years! Most ''new joiners'' on Wall Street
only gain this knowledge over years of apprenticeship with seasoned
professionals. In his book, Amir Sadr explains not only the math
behind the products, but the street lingo and, most importantly,
the mechanics of everything from overnight repos to Bermudans."
--George Nunn, Head of Fixed Income
內容簡介:
An up-to-date look at the evolution of interest rate swaps and
derivatives "Interest Rate Swaps and Derivatives" bridges the gap
between the theory of these instruments and their actual use in
day-to-day life. This comprehensive guide covers the main "rates"
products, including swaps, options capfloors, swaptions, CMS
products, and Bermudan callables. It also covers the main valuation
techniques for the exoticsstructured-notes area, which remains one
of the most challenging parts of the market. Provides a balance of
relevant theory and real-world trading instruments for rate swaps
and swap derivatives Uses simple settings and illustrations to
reveal key results Written by an experienced trader who has worked
with swaps, options, and exotics With this book, author Amir Sadr
shares his valuable insights with practitioners in the field of
interest rate derivatives-from traders and marketers to those in
operations.
