This guide provides students an excellent opportunity to familiarise themselves with the content and format of the updated final exam for FN3206: Derivatives and Risk Management at the University of London in 2025.

Thoroughly updated, this self‐study set covers all topics featured in the latest edition of the course, ensuring that students are fully prepared to tackle the final exam with confidence.

The FN3206 course provides an in-depth exploration of financial derivatives, including equity derivatives such as standard call and put options, exotic options, futures, forward contracts, and interest rate derivatives (swaps, caps, floors, swaptions). It examines how these products work, their applications in hedging and trading strategies, and their pricing mechanisms using models such as binomial trees and Black-Scholes, with a strong emphasis on key concepts like absence of arbitrage, replication, and risk-neutral pricing.

The course also introduces quantitative risk management techniques essential in modern finance. Topics covered include risk measures (Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall), univariate and multivariate volatility models, Monte Carlo simulations, and econometric methods. Practical application of these techniques is reinforced through R programming, with real-world examples drawn from financial crises and market events, ensuring students are well-prepared for analysing and managing market risk.
