    ...FBE 459 – Financial Derivatives Spring 2013 Scott Joslin University of Southern California Marshall School of Business Course Description This course intends to be an introduction to financial derivatives, namely options, futures and swaps. Our main goal will be to focus on the uses of derivatives for hedging and speculation and to understand risk neutral pricing of derivatives. The emphasis of the course will be on conceptual issues as opposed to the institutional aspects (although the basic institutional aspects will be covered). By all standards this is a quantitative class and a good background in calculus and statistics is highly desirable, if not necessary. Knowledge of Excel will be useful (though not required) as some analysis will be done in Excel. Class Schedule The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00–3:50 p.m. in JKP 112. Course Website All teaching materials will be posted on Blackboard. Class announcements and problem sets will be posted here. Office Hours I will hold office hours on Wednesdays from 1:00–2:00 p.m., HOH 402, or by appointment (sjoslin@usc.edu). Feel free also to ask questions by email. Course Requirements and Grading The following weighting scheme will be used to determine the course grade: • 25% Midterm Exam • 40% Final Exam • 20% Problem Sets • 15% Constructive contribution and in-class presentations 1 The midterm will be in class on Tuesday February 26th.
