They can enhance investment yields and serve to hedge against interest rate and exchange rate risks. Chapters cover option pricing concepts; risk, reward and probability; option spreads; three-dimensional option trading; hedging with options; floating rate risk management; option arbitrage; and inter-market option spreads.
