RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Demands of Derivatives JF Trading FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 31 OP 35 VO 2008 IS 1 A1 Peter John YR 2008 UL http://guides.pm-research.com/content/2008/1/31.abstract AB The last few years have seen a significant surge in popularity for derivatives. Where once they were found primarily in the portfolios of a few, select hedge funds, they are now widely adopted by more mainstream investors. Notwithstanding issues associated with certain types of derivatives that have been exposed by the credit crunch, these asset classes are here to stay. In this white paper Peter John, Product Manager for Fidessa LatentZero's Capstone Derivatives, assesses the challenges of derivatives trading and looks at how technology has changed to address them.
