Objectives

The objective of this discipline is to introduce and analyze a diverse set of financial products, completing the necessary development for a total qualification of the students with the necessary tools for their study. The mathematical models underlying the pricing and coverage problems will be revisited and contextualized.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of Measurement Theory, Stochastic Processes and Stochastic Calculus.

Subject matter

  1. Pricing of Derivative Products
  2. Complete Markets and Hedging
  3. Dividends, Foreign Exchange Rates and Exotic Options
  4. Bonds and Interest Rates
  5. Short Rate Models

Teaching method

Classes work in a practical theoretical regime.

In the classes the theoretical concepts are exposed, some demonstrations are carried out simultaneously illustrating their application through examples and exercises.

A substantial part of the study is done in the student''s autonomy, with the aid of notes and other bibliographical supports, and with the support of teachers to clarify doubts at pre-established times.

Evaluation method

The evaluation is carried out by carrying out individual assignments on the form of a written report, with the possibility of conducting tests.
