Finance graduates are required to be well-grounded in the fundamentals of modern finance. Fixed income and derivative securities constitute an aspect of this knowledge base that equips students with the market and instrument knowledge as well as analytical and modelling methods for the pricing and hedging of these securities. FIN358 Fixed Income and Derivative Securities presents these instruments in a unified setting, thereby allowing for a streamlined approach which avoids redundancies at the level of the fundamentals and which admits synergistic comparisons at the level of applications. A broad range of topics covering basic concepts behind fixed income and derivative securities, pricing and hedging methods, modelling methods, the put-call parity, the yield curves, as well as strategies in hedging and structuring financial products are included in the treatment.
