A practical, informative guide to derivatives in the real
world

Derivatives is an exposition on investments, guiding you
from the basic concepts, strategies, and fundamentals to a more
detailed understanding of the advanced strategies and models. As
part of Bloomberg Financial's three part series on securities,
Derivatives focuses on derivative securities and the
functionality of the Bloomberg system with regards to derivatives.
You'll develop a tighter grasp of the more subtle complexities
involved in the evaluation, selection, and management of
derivatives, and gain the practical skillset necessary to apply
your knowledge to real-world investment situations using the tools
and techniques that dominate the industry. Instructions for using
the widespread Bloomberg system are interwoven throughout, allowing
you to directly apply the techniques and processes discussed using
your own data. You'll learn the many analytical functions used to
evaluate derivatives, and how these functions are applied within
the context of each investment topic covered. All Bloomberg
information appears in specified boxes embedded throughout the
text, making it easy for you to find it quickly when you need or,
or easily skip it in favor of the theory-based text.

Managing securities in today's dynamic and innovative investment
environment requires a strong understanding of how the increasing
variety of securities, markets, strategies, and methodologies are
used. This book gives you a more thorough understanding, and a
practical skillset that investment managers need.
