Aktienderivate gehören zu den populärsten Derivatprodukten, die von institutionellen Anlegern gehandelt werden. Ein Aktienderivat ist ein Future oder eine Option auf Aktien oder Aktienindices. Zu den traditionellen Aktienderivaten gehören Optionsscheine, Optionen, Futures und Aktienindexfutures. Das "Handbook of Equity" ist eine vollständige und umfassende Überarbeitung des ersten und einzigen Buches zu diesem Thema. Herausgegeben von führenden Köpfen der Branche - darunter Nobelpreisträger Fischer Black, John Braddock und Mark Rubenstein - enthält es wichtige neue Informationen zu Aktienindexfutures und -optionen und erweitert die mathematische Diskussion um das Black & Scholes-Modell.
