While derivatives continue to play an increasingly vital role in driving today's global financial markets, they also continue to be one of the most complicated and often misunderstood financial instruments in the marketplace.

Derivatives Handbook presents a cogent, clear-eyed, and fresh perspective with an all-star roster of leading practitioners, academics, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and professionals who share their invaluable insights. These seasoned players provide incisive discussions on a wide range of topics, including Risk and Regulation in Derivatives Markets, Credit Derivatives, and Minimizing Operations Risk. Plus, there are comprehensive sections dedicated to case law and legal risk, risk measurement, risk oversight, regulation, and transparency and disclosure.

This book contains a wealth of probing, informative articles for not only finance professionals, but also for senior managers, corporate boards, lawyers, students, and anyone with an interest in the financial markets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depth and width, May 12, 2000
This review is from: Derivatives Handbook: Risk Management and Control (Wiley Series in Financial Engineering) (Hardcover)
There are two ways to write a book: provide a lot of specialist information on a specialised topic (well) or provide a lot of superficial information that covers everything relevant (lake). Surprisingly, this book achieves both of these objectives.
