Derivatives Diary Thomas R. Jones, Independent Fund Manager

After seven years at GlobalBank Thomas R. Jones leaves to strike out on his own as an independent fund manager. Gone is the security of his job to be replaced with the thrill of running his own business. Thomas believes that other fund managers do not maximise their performance with the best instruments available to them and, with a plan to use derivatives to react with more speed to the markets, Thomas R. Jones is ready to take on the world. Thomas's first year is chronicled in this diary portrait together with the techniques that improved his performance. Read about the highs, the lows, the deals that worked, and listen to the stresses as he tries to beat the market, keep his wife happy, keep his investors happy and keep to his dietary regime.Folcker, Richard is the author of 'Derivatives Diary Thomas R.
