Introduction to Derivative Securities

Derivative securities form part of the essential landscape of managerial financial education. An understanding of options is becoming a must for anyone whose career touches financial markets. The book approaches the subject at hand from a no-arbitrage perspective, in a one-period state-preference model. This book emphasizes the role of the no-arbitrage condition as the modern financial tool for valuation. Therefore, the book starts by introducing the simplest model of an equity market. The no-arbitrage condition is defined and, in a subsequent chapter, is used to value simplified financial assets. Gradually, the book extends the simple model to a more realistic situation, permitting the valuation of more complicated securities. Establishing intuitive insight and a solid understanding of the one-period model is the key to teaching the philosophy espoused in this book.
