Equity Derivatives

Equity indices, dividends, forwards, swaps, and options are an essential part of the financial marketplace. This program will equip you to use, price, and manage risk across the wide variety of different equity derivative products. 

The program starts with the building blocks of equity market indices, dividends, futures, and forwards. From there, it progresses to equity and dividend swaps. It covers issues in swap valuation including collateral and credit risk as well as the practical applications of swaps in corporate finance, M&A activity, and investment management.

Day two focuses on advanced issues in trading equity swaps and options. This includes the definition, types, and uses of different equity options. It then progresses to teach practical applications and strategies across risk management, trading, corporate treasury, and investment management. 

Day three covers the essentials of option pricing, including the Black-Scholes model, hedging, and option sensitivities (the “Greeks”). It then teaches various strategies to trade views on volatility using equity options.

The approach is hands-on and learning is enhanced through many practical exercises covering hedging, valuation, and risk management. The exercises use Excel spreadsheets which participants can take away for immediate implementation.
