ECFS860: Swap Book Management

This focuses on managing risks from making a market in swap products. Beginning with identifying sources of risk, zero-coupon yield curves are derived and applied to pricing of swaps. Pricing models are used to measure and control market risk in a swap portfolio. Case studies illustrate positioning the portfolio to reflect a market-maker's views, subject to risk constraints.
