From the Inside Flap
The world of business and finance has changed dramatically over the past 15 years and derivatives, once a highly specialised area of finance, have now become an essential tool of risk management. The dramatic increase in the number of futures and options contracts and exchanges available globally has, however, led to a bewildering array of options both for traders and for corporate investors. In this totally comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the world’s futures and options markets, the author provides the essential information on the most important exchanges and contracts globally that will lead both the experienced investor and the novice through this complex subject. The EFFAS European Bond Commission was formed in 1970 by the European Federation of Financial Analyst Societies, to promote international participation in the European financial markets. It has been active in efforts to standardise methods of analysis throughout the European markets and in encouraging co-operation and the exchange of information across national borders. The Commission has produced a number of publications, including The Euro (John Wiley & Sons), The European Bond Markets (Probus) and The European Currency Crisis (Probus).
