This book is designed specifically for a first course in derivatives. It has been written with a beginner in mind and assumes no previous knowledge or familiarity with derivatives. Written in an informal, easy-to-read style, it guides readers through the challenging and complex world of forwards, futures, and options. As the first book of its kind on Malaysian financial derivatives, the emphasis on local conditions enables easier understanding.

Extensive use of illustrations and write-ups provide easy comprehension of the underlying logic of derivatives
