4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction,
This review is from: Mastering Equity Derivatives (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
Good solid introduction to the subject - but wont leave you as a "master". All of the fundamental concepts are set out - and as you would expect from an introductory text they are all explained well but there is a real lack of depth in terms of pricing, market operations and dealing with real world issues - eg how do you cope with derivatives on dividend paying stocks? How do you model vol smiles etc.Good as a first reader - or for a person who wants to "blag the interview" - but you will need to buy another book sooner or later. Tom
