Introduction of John C. Hull by John Finnerty

It is a great pleasure to be able to introduce Dr. John Hull, Professor of Derivatives and Risk Management and Co-Director of the Master of Finance Program at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.

John is an eminent scholar who rightfully belongs among the many other luminaries in FIASI's Hall of Fame.

John is an internationally recognized authority in the areas of fixed income modeling, derivatives, and risk management. He has written three books, including Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, which is now in its seventh edition. It is a beautifully written and informative text that is a must-read for every fixed income professional with a keen interest in fixed income valuation.
