Financial Derivatives
Author: Daniel Lazar
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788177082975
Category : Capital market
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
International Monetary Fund (IMF) defines derivatives as "financial instruments that are linked to a specific financial instrument or indicator or commodity and through which specific financial risks can be traded in financial markets in their own right. The value of a financial derivative derives from the price of an underlying item, such as an asset or index. Unlike debt securities, no principal is advanced to be repaid and no investment income accrues". Derivative instruments are defined by the Indian Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 to include (1) a security derived from a debt instrument, share, secured/unsecured loan, risk instrument or contract for differences, or any other form of security and (2) a contract that derives its value from the prices/index of prices of underlying securities. Thus, derivatives are financial instruments/contracts the value of which depends upon the value of an underlying. Since their value is essentially derived out of an underlying, they are financial abstractions whose value is derived mathematically from the changes in the value of the underlying. In recent years, derivatives have become increasingly important in the field of finance. While futures and options are now actively traded on many exchanges, forward contracts are popular on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. This book explains at length the various concepts of financial derivatives, reasons for their popularity, risks involved and their emergence in the Indian capital market.

The Ethics of Banking
Author: Peter Koslowski
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400706561
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
The Ethics of Banking analyzes the systemic and the ethical mistakes that led to the crisis. It keeps the middle ground between excusing all failures by the argument of a systemic crisis not to be taken responsibility for by the financial managers and the moralistic reproach that only moral failure is at the origin of the crisis. It investigates the role of speculation in the formation of the crisis and distinguishes between productive speculation for hedging and for securing market liquidity on the one hand, and unproductive and even detrimental hyper-speculation going far beyond of the degree of speculation that is necessary in a developed economy for the liquidity of financial markets, on the other hand. Hyper-speculation has increased the risks of the financial system and is still doing so.

Financial Derivatives in India
Author: Jagadish R. Raiyani
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788177082555
Category : Credit derivatives
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In recent years, complex financial products - such as asset-backed securities, derivatives, credit-default swaps, and collateralised debt obligations - have proliferated in developing countries. These products have become highly popular with banks and financial institutions as they allow them to hedge their risks and manage their financial resources more efficiently. Although various structured products have enabled the transfer of risks and enhanced the liquidity of instruments, the recent turmoil in the US sub-prime mortgage market and related developments connected with complex derivatives have also brought to the fore the risks posed by these instruments. In India, financial products such as mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are in existence. Besides the securitized products, the Indian forex and rupee derivative markets have also developed significantly over the years. In its Annual Policy Statement for the year 2008-2009, the Reserve Bank of India announced the introduction of currency futures in the eligible exchanges. This book explains the basics of financial derivatives and their growth and role in the Indian financial system.
