Derivatives as Protection Against Interest Rate Futures

Abstract: A 10 page paper discussing the ways in which derivative use can provide beneficial insurance against sudden interest rate changes and effectively protect against the adverse effects that interest rate futures can bring. Varying types of corporate organizations have lost millions in unregulated and poorly-controlled derivatives exercises, but the fact that some have misused them does not diminish their ability to contribute to maintaining continuity if interest rates unexpectedly increase. Bibliography lists 11 sources in 14 endnotes.
