Managing and Disclosing Risks of Investing in Derivatives

This practical handbook on key issues in derivatives investment covers such topics as: risks from using and not using derivatives; the disclosures that dealers should make to customers; whether derivatives are securities; what disclosures should be made by users to their shareholders; suits by users against dealers; and what directors of users should know about derivatives. These issues are discussed both from the point of view of customers who purchase and use derivatives, and of banks and other dealers.
