| FINA 6320 - Derivative Security Markets |
|
The markets for futures, options, and other derivative securities. The mechanics of trading, regulation, pricing, hedging, and risk management using derivatives.
When this course is taught as a split level, additional requirements for graduate students:
Graduate students will write a research paper on a current issue or recent events relevant to the application, pricing, accounting, or economic benefits of financial derivatives. In connection with this research, graduate students will be expected to read extensively on the topic and to consult with the instructor as they construct their reading list. Graduate students should also expect to make a presentation to the class that relates what they learned in their research paper. Finally, graduate students will also be required to complete the two course projects individually, rather than the group work assigned in this course. Currently, the first of these projects is a detailed case analysis of a firm's application of derivatives. The second of the projects is a derivatives trading game that uses actual market products and prices.
