Great practical overview of derivatives market October 2, 2009
Peter Decrem (NY, USA)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The book fills a great niche in between very simple overviews and the very mathematical oriented work. If you need to know things like day counts for different indices, CMS convexity adjustments and a general overview over the different measures used to price derivatives, the different interest rate models etc. this is the book to own.

There are loads of books on the theory behind derivatives pricing - this book is unique in that it identifies and clearly explains the important practical aspects of these markets, including the jargon and conventions. Even after 20 years in the industry, this book completed many gaps in my knowledge base. It fills an important gap between the Handbook of Fixed Income Securities and Options, Futures and Other Derivatives.

The book is excellent with good balance of math and conceptual common sense. The book shows me the framework for instrument pricing via replication. With it, I can theoretically price any derivatives in the world which is quite powerful idea. A great book for people who want to learn pricing wide ranges of derivative products.
