FIN 5310 - Case Studies in Derivatives

The goal of this course is to learn how corporations use derivatives to manage risk. This involves identifying and quantifying the risk, selecting appropriate tools, and implementing risk management strategies. Risk management is only partly a quantitative field. Strategy, negotiation, marketing, and basic financial management are important as well. This course focuses on several important topics- various derivative products, their structure, application, and valuation; understanding the players in the market for financial risk: the buyers and the sellers (of risk) and the intermediaries; and making risk management decisions with limited information. It uses the case method. Each week students work in small groups to analyze a real-world problem and identify possible solutions.
