Over the last 20 years hedge funds and derivatives have fluctuated in
reputational terms; they have been blamed for the global financial
crisis and been praised for the provision of liquidity in troubled
times. Both topics are rather under-researched due to a combination of
data and secrecy issues. This book is a collection of papers celebrating
20 years of the Journal of Derivatives and Hedge Funds (JDHF). The 18
papers included in this volume represent a small sample of influential
papers included during the life of the Journal, representing
industry-orientated research in these areas. With a Preface from
co-editor of the journal Stephen Satchell, the first part of the
collection focuses on hedge funds and the second on markets, prices and
products.
