Risk Management Using Derivatives
It is essential for financial managers to identify risks accurately and to use the right control techniques. This course begins by introducing the different types of risk, and explains how to use the risk cycle to recognize these risks and control them. The course then moves on to the different types of derivative techniques that can be used to manage risk, including FX risk, short- and long-dated domestic interest rate risk, long-dated foreign interest rate risk, and equity risk. In the final lesson, participants are presented with several case studies that apply what they've learned about using derivatives to manage risk.
