What will I learn?
You will build a complete, working knowledge of derivative markets, starting with how futures are priced and margined, then moving through options payoffs, the Black-Scholes model, and the full set of Greeks. You will design income-generating and hedging strategies using vertical spreads, straddles, calendars, and exotic structures. Swap mechanics — including interest rate, currency, and credit default swaps — are covered in full, with valuation methods you can apply directly. The course also addresses portfolio-level risk management using VaR, stress testing, and counterparty credit risk. Advanced topics include variance swaps, structured notes, algorithmic execution, and multi-asset correlation products.
