Description

In this course, students develop an understanding of financial derivative instruments and their applications to corporate strategy and risk management. Throughout the course, we emphasize the perspective that derivative instruments are problem-solving tools that, when used correctly, can create value for financial and non-financial corporations. We cover forward, future, option, and swap contracts, hedging, arbitrage, and derivatives-pricing models.
