Synopsis
"It has been said that in theory, theory translates into practice, but in practice it never does. This breakthrough book defies this conventional wisdom in a unique way. It is a must read for anyone interested in structuring derivatives products." -- Dr Peter Carr, Principal, Banc of America Securities "Harry Kat has done a masterful job explaining the world of exotic options and the role that these options play in building structured securities. Dr Kat conveys the essence of these products from the perspective of a very experienced financial engineer but in a fashion that the less experienced reader can easily follow and understand. In this, Dr Kat has shown himself to be a marvellous teacher. Im confident that this book will prove to be one of the classics to be read by future generations of financial engineers." -- John F. Marshall, Principal, Marshall, Tucker & Associates, and Founding Executive Director, International Association of Financial Engineers "This is a refreshingly new and different book about putting together structured equity products. It is not a book about deriving formulas but a book about applying formulas. The emphasis on hedging costs and alternative ways of reducing those costs by modifying the structure will be appreciated both by those who actually manufacture and sell these products and those who buy them." -- Don Chance, First Union Professor, Virginia Tech "This book is about applications, about solving real business problems with derivatives.... Contrary to many other books in the field, the approach is managerial rather than abstractly mathematical, aimed at practitioners instead of applied mathematicians. Professor Kats book contains all the mathematics required. However, the mathematical aspects play a purely supportive role, not the starring role. Bravo!" -- Anthony F. Herbst, University of Texas at El Paso, Founding Editor, The Journal of Financial Engineering "It is certainly a unique book, much more useful that most new books on derivatives. In a nutshell, this book is very creatively done and a great resource for professionals." -- Mark Rubinstein, Paul Stephens Professor of Applied Investment Analysis, University of California at Berkeley, 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., 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 ma geblicher Leitfaden für den Umgang mit exotischen Optionen und strukturierten kurz- und mittelfristigen Schuldtiteln - ein praktischer Wegweiser für die Problemlösung in der Praxis., This book focuses on the structuring and practical applications of derivatives by outlining and introducing the reader to a flexible approach, emphasizing financial architecture rather than financial engineering. With this focus on product design rather than pricing, the book avoids complex pricing formulas and numerical procedures.
