What this category covers
Option-pricing, volatility, exposure and hedging models used to value nonlinear financial claims. Each concept page explains the quantitative meaning, how the idea is used in portfolio or market analysis, the relevant formula or analytical framework, variables, a compact example and the main limitations to keep in view.
