Talk:Interest rate derivative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Something crazy has happened to this page. It went from being a near stub to being a Fin 101 lecture notes series, with an interest rate derivatives outline. I'm going to "be bold" and delete most of the new stuff.

Feel free to add some of the old stuff back in more finished form. Most of the Fin 101 stuff in covered elsewhere and not really needed here

Yes, the stuff about budget cap, for instance is not required here. There is already an interest rate cap page detailing how it works. I have deleted most of that example and added a couple simple ones of my own, just to give one a flavour of the uses of interest rates derivative. I've also added some references.

This page is tough because it's should really be just a basic introduction to the products since there are detailed pages on swaptions, interest rate swaps, callable bonds, etc. Hopefully the reader will be directed there from this page. Danielfranciscook 02:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
