How to answer an interest rate risk management question
This article explains the significance of the information you’ll be given in interest rate risk management questions and shows you what you’ll be asked to do.
Reverse takeovers
Reverse takeovers is a topic that is now examinable in Advanced Financial Management (AFM). This article aims to provide an explanation of reverse takeovers and to discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks associated with reverse takeovers.
Conditional probability
Management decision making in both financial and performance management involves making choices based upon what may happen in the future. This article looks at how to consider all possible outcomes that may arise, together with their associated chances of occurring.
Currency swaps
This article looks at currency swaps, an agreement in which two parties exchange the principal amount of a loan and the interest in one currency for the principal and interest in another currency.
Patterns of behaviour
Behavioural finance attempts to explain how decision makers take financial decisions in real life, and why their decisions might not appear to be rational every time and, hence, have unpredictable consequences. This article looks at how behavioural factors may influence decision making and, therefore, stock markets’ and companies’ financial strategies.
Using real options when making financial strategy decisions
This article considers how an individual traditional project could be reassessed using option valuation and how option valuation could assist when assessing a portfolio of projects. It then concludes with a brief discussion regarding inter-dependent projects.
Investment appraisal and real options
This article looks at how real options can be incorporated into investment appraisal decisions. It discusses real options and then considers the types of real options calculations which may be encountered in Advanced Financial Management (AFM), through three examples. The article then considers the limitations of the application of real options in practice and how some of these may be mitigated.
Securitisation and tranching
Securitisation became a topical issue during the credit crunch, and still remains a relevant issue for financial management and Advanced Financial Management (AFM) students.
Exchange traded foreign exchange derivatives
This article considers both foreign exchange futures and options using real market data, as well as focusing on other areas of significant importance.
