| Summary |
|---|
Within this course, particular problems of financial derivatives, their
pricing, hedging, replication and modelling in general are treated. At first,
particular sorts of derivatives, methods of pricing and most common types of
underlying assets and related processes are introduced. Subsequently, these
methods and types of underlying assets are applied in order to model the price
of basic types of financial derivatives. Single topics are constituted by non-
standard derivatives.The task is to allow the students to use obtained
knowledge in solving of real problems. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
This course aims at pricing, hedging and modeling of financial derivatives as well as primary financial securities. The aim of the course is
- to improve the knowledge and skills of students
- so that they will be able to apply acquired knowledge
- in order to efficiently utilize financial derivatives within risk management issues of both, financial and nonfinancial institutions;
- the students should be able to formulate pricing and hedging task and subsequently propose an efficient approach to solve it. |
