Financial Risk Management and Derivative Instruments is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate world of stock market risk and the utilization of derivative instruments to mitigate such risks. Structured into two parts, the first part offers a foundational understanding of the risks faced by investors seeking growth in the stock and bond markets. It explores the various factors that contribute to market volatility, such as economic indicators, political events, and market psychology. The second part of the text introduces the financial derivative instruments that enable investors to either reduce their exposure to market risk (hedging) or increase their exposure to it (speculation). The fundamental aspects of the futures and options derivative markets, along with the tools of the Black-Scholes model, are examined in detail.

To enhance accessibility and understanding, the text employs a clear and concise writing style, supported by pedagogical features such as key insights boxes, progressive illustrative examples, and end-of-chapter tutorials. Additionally, the book is supplemented with comprehensive PowerPoint slides that assist in presenting the text material and providing a coherent summary of the lectures.

This textbook serves as an ideal resource for introductory courses in derivative instruments and financial risk management, catering to undergraduate, master's, and MBA students alike. It provides a solid foundation in the principles and practices of risk management, enabling students to navigate the complex financial markets with confidence and expertise.
