This book provides simple introduction to quantitative finance for students and junior quants who want to approach the typical industry problems with practical but rigorous ambition. It shows a simple link between theoretical technicalities and practical solutions. Mathematical aspects are discussed from a practitioner perspective, with a deep focus on practical implications, favoring the intuition and the imagination. In addition, the new post-crisis paradigms, like multi-curves, x-value adjustments (xVA) and Counterparty Credit Risk are also discussed in a very simple framework. Finally, real world data and numerical simulations are compared in order to provide a reader with a simple and handy insight on the actual model performances.

Contents:

  • Introduction
  • All the Financial Math You Need to Survive with Interesting Applications
  • The Pricing of Financial Derivatives — The Replica Approach
  • Risk-Neutral Pricing
  • The Black and Scholes Framework and Its Extension
  • Risk Modeling
  • The New Post-Crisis Paradigms

Readership: Students and researchers in the fields of quantitative finance, risk management and stochastic analysis.
Key Features:

  • Good balance between theoretical aspects and practical problems
  • New post-crisis paradigms (multi-curve, x-Value Adjustments, Counterparty Credit Risk) are introduced and discussed in a very simple way
  • Actual model performances are analyzed comparing real world data and numerical simulations
