FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

“Kolb and Overdahl have produced a clear and well-written introduction to derivatives that should serve as a useful foundational text. Their mixture of mechanics, pricing, and risk management is as well-balanced as their blend of theory and practical applications.”
-Christopher L. Culp, PhD, Adjunct Associate Professor of Finance at The University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business and Managing Director at CP Risk Management LLC

“The third edition of Kolb and Overdahl presents a nice blend of theory and application of financial derivatives. The concise anthology introduces institutional background and valuation issues and then shows how each instrument can be used to manage risk. This book is sure to be of interest to risk managers as well as business students about to embark on their finance careers.”
-Steve Swidler, J. Stanley Mackin Professor of Finance, Auburn University
