Options
New from Financial World
Publishing and The Association of Corporate Treasurers
A unique practitioner's
insight into key aspects of corporate finance and treasury management.
This book is about financial
options - a more complex class of derivative than that which, primarily, brought down
Barings. Options is aimed at the practising corporate treasurer and the finance director.
Central to this title is the proposition that options are an essential tool of financial
management. Options presents practical guidance alongside reasoned and worked examples,
illustrating the importance of the option as an essential part of the corporate treasurer
or finance director's armoury.
