Reviews
'FX Barrier Options are the subject of more in-depth study by practitioners than almost any other class of exotic options and yet they have been given relatively short shrift in the literature until now. Zareer Dadachanji's book brilliantly fills this gap. Readers are led gently but thoroughly from the basics to the state of the art with ample discussion throughout (and full mathematical details supplied in appendices). Highly recommended for beginners and experts alike.'
Ben Nasatyr, Head of FX Quantitative Analysis, Citigroup
'Zareer Dadachanji's book on FX barrier options is clear, precise, and a pleasure to read. The derivations are as simple as possible while remaining correct, and the book displays a judicious blend of theory, modelling and practice. Students and practitioners will learn a lot (and not just about FX barrier options), and will do so with pleasure.'
Riccardo Rebonato, Global Head of Rates and FX Analytics, PIMCO, and Visiting Lecturer, Mathematical Finance, Oxford University
'The market in FX barrier options has grown from a niche to the most liquid exotics market in the world, requiring models that are both very sophisticated and computationally efficient. The first of its kind, Dr Dadachanji's treatise is exclusively dedicated to the subject. The book requires few prerequisites but quickly builds to the state of the art in a clear and comprehensive manner. Undoubtedly it will be an indispensable companion to anyone involved in the subject or interested in learning it.'
Vladimir Piterbarg, Head of Quantitative Analytics at Rokos Family Office
'This is the book I wish I'd had when I started my career as an FX quant an insider's view of FX barrier option modelling from both a theoretical and practical perspective. It builds from the basic market set-up through to the latest techniques in an FX quant's toolkit.'
Mark Jex, FX Quant in investment banks for 20 years, and pioneer of the mixed local/ stochastic volatility model
'As one who understands financial engineering from the trader's perspective as well as from the quant's, Zareer Dadachanji has written a very valuable book on FX barrier options. Requiring very little pre-requisite financial knowledge, it guides readers through the plethora of quantitative concepts, techniques and practical issues associated with these products. And it is an enjoyable read to boot.'
Simon Hards, Global Head of FX Trading at Credit Suisse
