Volatility and Correlation: The Perfect Hedger and the Fox
"In this book Dr Rebonato brings his penetrating eye to bear on option pricing and hedging. In his usual intuitive style he critically examine a variety of approaches to equity, currency and interest-rate options. This book is full of practical insights that reflect a wealth of experience in applying these models. The book is a 'must read' for those who already know the basics of options and are looking for an edge in applying the more sophisticated approaches that have recently been developed." --Professor Ian Cooper, London Business School"This book is a blend of the theoretical, the practical, and the abstract, but always staying in contact with reality. I don't agree with everything in it, but it taught me a thing or two. Read it carefully and thoroughly." --Paul Wilmott, Derivatives"Volatility and correlation are at the very core of all option pricing and hedging. In this book, Riccardo Rebonato presents the subject in his characteristically elegant and simple fashion. He rightly emphasises the financial and economic assumptions which underpin the models, and gives salutary warnings against models which overfit the current structure of prices but which perform poorly in predicting future behaviour. A rare combination of intellectual insight and practical common sense."Selected 3D graphs from the book are reproduced in colour at ftp.wiley.co.uk/pub/books/rebonato" --Anthony Neuberger, Associate Professor, Institute of Finance and Accounting, London Business School
