The definitive guide to the derivatives market, updated with contemporary examples and discussions

Known as “the bible” to business and economics professionals and a consistent best-seller, Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives gives readers a modern look at the derivatives market. By incorporating the industry's hottest topics, such as the securitization and credit crisis, the text helps bridge the gap between theory and practice.

The 11th Edition covers all of the latest regulations and trends, including the Black-Scholes-Merton formulas, overnight indexed swaps, and the valuation of commodity derivatives.

Hallmark features of this title

A delicate balance of mathematical sophistication

Nonessential mathematical material has been eliminated or included in end-of-chapter appendices and the technical notes on the author's website.
Concepts that are likely to be new to many readers have been explained carefully.
Numerical examples have been included for added clarity.

Accompanying software lets students get comfortable with models

An Options Calculator helps students value a wide range of options.

A Monte Carlo simulation worksheet illustrates how to use the simulation for valuing options.

New and updated features of this title

Coverage of the latest market trends

UPDATED: Tables, charts, examples and market data discussions have all been revisited to reflect current market conditions. They include overnight reference rates that will replace LIBOR at the end of 2021, and their impact on valuation models; rough volatility models which have in the last few years been found to fit volatility surfaces; machine learning in the pricing and hedging of derivatives; and changes in the regulatory environment.

Practice-focused resources

UPDATED: End-of-chapter problems, which were previously based on LIBOR, have been replaced by those based on the new reference rates or by generic examples.
NEW: Short Concept Questions in the first 20 chapters help students determine whether they understand the key ideas they've just covered.
NEW: Solutions to all end-of-chapter problems and questions are now available on pearson.com and www-2.rotman.utoronto.ca/~hull.
