While it is true that many forms of derivatives can be complex, the basic forms of derivatives contracts which underpin many of the more complex variants are relatively straightforward and their origin can be traced back hundreds of years. The objective of this book is to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding derivatives and to provide a guide to the legal and regulatory concepts that govern their use.
Written by a team of leading experts, A Practitioner's Guide to Derivatives provides a valuable single volume resource for compliance officers and in-house counsel, finance directors, corporate treasurers and their advisers.
