* Focuses on the pricing and hedging of swaps, showing how various models work in practice and how they can be built and also covers options and interest rates as they relate to swaps, as they are often traded together.
The swaps market is a central market to many businesses, especially among the most liquid of financial contracts. Fully revised and updated from the first edition, Swaps and Other Derivatives offers a new insight on the growth of swaps markets worldwide. Additionally, this reference provides new chapters on FRA curve, asset packaging, theory of hedging, swapping structured securities, Value-at-Risk, convexity adjustments, and the impact of Credit Derivatives. Including a CD with practical examples and working simulations, this resource guides finance practitioners on the pricing and hedging of swaps.

Richard Flavell has spent over twenty years working as a financial engineer, consultant and trainer, specialising in complex derivatives and risk management. He spent seven years as Director of Financial Engineering at Lombard Risk, where he was responsible for the mathematical development and implementation of models in its varied pricing and risk systems. He is currently Chairman of Lucidate, a company which specialises in the provision of consultancy and training to financial institutions.
