"This is the first comprehensive hands-on introduction to financial engineering. Neftci is enjoyable to read, and finds a natural balance between theory and practice." - Darrell Duffie, James I. Miller Professor of Finance, The Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
"Neftci's book captures much of the excitement of the recent surge of theoretical and practical work on financial engineering. A variety of readers will be interested in this book, including lay people - who are interested in better understanding how financial markets can be used to share and mitigate risks - and practitioners who are interested in constructing and valuing new securities." - Thomas Sargent, Professor of Economics at NYU, and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University
Exercises and case studies at end of each chapter and on-line Solutions Manual provided
Explains issues involved in day-to-day life of traders, using language other than mathematics
Careful and concise analysis of the LIBOR market model and of volatility engineering problems
Bestselling author Salih N. Neftci presents a fresh, original, informative, and up-to-date
introduction to financial engineering. The book offers clear links between
intuition and underlying mathematics and an outstanding mixture of market
insights and mathematical materials. Also included are end-of-chapter exercises
and case studies.
In a market characterized by the existence of large pools of liquid funds
willing to go anywhere, anytime in search of a few points of advantage, there
are new risks. Lacking experience with these new risks, firms, governmental
entities, and other investors have been surprised by unexpected and often
disastrous financial losses. Managers and analysts seeking to employ these new
instruments and strategies (to make pricing, hedging, trading, and portfolio
management decisions) require a mature understanding of theoretical finance and
sophisticated mathematical and computer modelling skills.
Important and useful because it analyzes financial assets and derivatives from
the financial engineering perspective, this book offers a different approach
than the existing finance literature in financial asset and derivative analysis.
Seeking not to introduce financial instruments but instead to describe the
methods of synthetically creating assets in static and in dynamic environments
and to show how to use them, his book complements all currently available
textbooks. It emphasizes developing methods that can be used in order to solve
risk management, taxation, regulation, and above all, pricing problems.
This perspective forms the basis of practical risk
management. It will be useful for anyone learning about practical elements of
financial engineering.
