Capsule Summary:
Years of study and work of the authors, both serving the China Financial Futures Exchange, facilitated their precise and unique understanding of the introduction of the stock index futures and their influence on the stock market. Both of them believe that the true value of stock index futures lies in the re-allocation of investment risks on the stock market. Only by understanding that can investors leverage the influence of the stock index futures on the pricing and investment concept of the stock market as well as the assets management industry. The book, an in-depth probe into the stock index futures, aims to orient more investors to the rational participation in the market by demystifying the financial instrument.
The introduction of stock index futures, in April 16, 2010, the first short mechanism of its kind in China’s stock market, will be of profound importance to the stock market.
