From the Back Cover

As yet, single stock futures are still in their infancy, but they now represent the most exciting new product launch within the equity derivatives arena. They have a multiplicity of advantages for many traders and investors, being cheap, easy to understand, and a highly efficient use of capital to enhance investor opportunities.

Single Stock Futures is a practical, easy-to-read and comprehensive guide that will help traders and investors understand and utilise this innovative and exciting product.

"SSFs have been portrayed...as a new stage in the evolution of financial derivatives - which is certainly the case. But they could be more than that: they could radically alter the dynamics of equity investing...The possibilities are huge, but as yet only dimly perceived."

From Single Stock Futures - The Ultimate Derivative, written by David Lascelles for the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation.
