Description

Over the past few years, the use of derivatives as the preferred method for hedging and risk management has increased. The importance of the derivatives market was highlighted in the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) when excessive and improper use of these products led to a global financial meltdown. The critical lesson of the 2008 GFC is that we should understand derivatives deeply first prior to us engaging in and selling these products. This comprehensive introductory online course on derivatives will focus on the economics, pricing, risk management, accounting and regulatory environment of derivatives transactions. It will also include case studies surrounding risk exposures of corporations and how we can use derivatives to mitigate these risk exposures.
