Kurzbeschreibung
Viele Bücher zu diesem Thema behandeln meist nur die theoretische Seite der Preisgestaltung und Absicherung von derivativen Finanzinstrumenten. Dieses Buch ist anders: Es widmet sich der Strukturierung von Derivaten und ihren Anwendungen in der Praxis. Dabei geht der Autor von einem flexiblen Ansatz aus, bei dem der Schwerpunkt verstärkt auf der "Finanzarchitektur" liegt und weniger auf der "Finanztechnik". "Structured Equity Derivatives" ist ein maßgeblicher Leitfaden für den Umgang mit exotischen Optionen und strukturierten kurz- und mittelfristigen Schuldtiteln - ein praktischer Wegweiser für die Problemlösung in der Praxis.
Although the pricing and hedging of derivatives contracts has been the subject of a large number of books, hardly any books exist on the actual design of derivatives contracts. Structured Equity Derivatives fills this gap in a remarkable way. The book introduces an approach to the structuring and practical application of derivatives that allows the reader to create his own derivatives solutions to an endless variety of problems. The approach is extremely natural - the only limit is the reader's own creativity.
Since it clearly explains the reasons why derivatives exist and why there is such a large variety, this is the book that should be read before picking up any other book on the pricing and hedging of derivatives. As the book concentrates on product design instead of pricing, there are no complex pricing formulas or numerical procedures. The emphasis is on intuition and common sense rather than complex formal results, which makes the book accessible to people from many different backgrounds.
