Risk and Return with Derivatives

Dimitris N. Chorafas

Chapter 6 in Alternative Investments and the Mismanagement of Risk, 2003, pp 135-158 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter addresses itself to derivatives. We consider what they are, what they do, how and where they are traded. Also, what are the risks to financial institutions, hedge funds, and other investors and what is the exposure associated with the growing use of derivatives. Finally, the chapter brings under perspective the need for regulation of derivatives trading — a subject further analysed in Chapter 9.
