We shall first review briefly the most important kinds of financial contracts, traded either on exchanges or over-the-counter (OTC), between financial institutions and their clients. For a detailed account of the fundamental features of

financial markets the reader is referred, for instance, to Duffie (1989), Kolb (1991), Redhead (1996), or Hull (1997).
