See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject covers the basics of derivatives such as forward, futures, FRA, swap, and option, and facilitates students' understanding of the global derivatives market through case studies. The freestyle assignment option enables students to take the challenge of using derivatives as a channel to enhance environmental and social sustainability. The teaching is conducted through an inquiry-based pedagogical method rather than presenting facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. Kicking off from a single key question, students often find they need to obtain prerequisite knowledge by posing and then answering more questions. That will weave a logic meshwork demonstrating how knowledge evolves. By discovering holes in the meshwork and then bridging these gaps; or finding the boundary of the meshwork and then extending it; or more ambitiously, identifying independent key questions, students learn to innovate. Students are exposed to the techniques such as risk-neutral valuation, and the Black-Scholes-Merton model, to price derivatives and do risk management decisively, and can access Refinitiv real derivatives market data to solve work-integrated problems in their assessment. The techniques can be applied to evaluate health system efficiency, energy management, infrastructure derivatives pricing, hedging hedge farmers' harvest risk exposure using climate derivatives, sustainably manage forests, and more. Ideas will be discussed in the lecture or the assignments.
