Description of Handbook of Equity Derivatives

Equity derivatives offer more flexibility and hedging opportunities than ever before. In this handbook you'll find a complete synthesis of the growing variety of financial products - and the strategies for making them work. The much needed volume examines the entire equity derivatives market and its instruments, from 'classic' warrants, options, and futures....to the new and innovative PERCS, equity swaps, and equity-linked bonds....to stock index futures, the most successful financial futures contracts in the world. Written by both financial practitioners and scholars, this comprehensive handbook includes:
  • An easy-to-understand introduction to equity derivatives, including basic equity structures, pricing determinants, and a historical perspective of their revolution
  • Descriptions of numerous derivative products - either issued by corporations, created and traded by domestic and international exchanges, or invented by investment banks - and the best uses and profit potential for these products
  • Accounting and tax issues related to equity derivative products, including the impact these products may have on a tax planning strategy
  • ĘGuidelines for determining the regulatory restrictions of common equity derivatives
