Abstract: Abstract We give an introduction into basic financial products—like bonds, stocks, and stock indices—and into their basic properties. Specifically, we will study the S&P500 stock index in more detail. Further, we provide the basics of discrete and continuous compounding and we give an overview of the most important interest rate and swap rate benchmarks.
