Interest-Rate Management
Zagst, R., RiskLab GmbH,
Munich, Germany
This book adresses the needs
of both researchers and practitioners. It combines a rigorous overview of the mathematics
of financial markets with an insight into the practical application of these models to the
risk and portfolio management of interest-rate derivatives. It can also serve as a
valuable textbook for graduate and PhD students in mathematics who want to get some
knowledge about financial markets. The first part of the book is an exposition of advanced
stochastic calculus. It defines the theoretical framework for the pricing and hedging of
contingent claims with a special focus on interest-rate markets. The second part covers a
selection of short and long-term oriented risk measures as well as their application to
the risk management of interest -rate portfolios. Interesting and comprehensive case
studies are provided to illustrate the theoretical concepts.
