Equity Derivatives 2: Exotics and Structures

This programme on Exotic Options and Structured Products follows on naturally from the LFS Equity Derivatives course.

The first day of this programme looks at equity exotic options. It starts by considering barrier and binary options and the role they play in a variety of investment products. A detailed analysis is made of how best to price and manage the non-standard risks introduced by these products. The first day then moves on to consider correlation and basket options. It discusses how these features can be used to enhance an exotic product and how correlation products fit into an investment strategy.

The second day focuses on exotic underlyings and equity structured products. It starts by considering dynamic underlyings such as CPPI, risk controlled and risk budgeted indices and the role that these play in the current range of equity products. It then moves on to consider the variety of structured products seen in the equity markets today including capital protected notes, reverse convertibles, cliquets, and accumulators. Applications range from retail investment to equity capital markets and corporate finance. 

Finally, the course takes an in depth look at the autocallable market including structuring, valuation and risk management for this important market sector. The impact of regulation and the latest trends in autocallable features are considered in detail. 

The approach is hands-on and learning is enhanced through many practical exercises covering hedging, valuation and risk management. They use Excel spreadsheets that can be taken away for immediate implementation.
