Anyone have a complete PDF of the Vault S&T Guide?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has a PDF and wants to trade for a PDF of any wetfeet or other vault guides. I'm currently using the google books version of the S&T guide but a lot of pages are omitted. ([link redacted - PDF swapping not allowed on WSO])

Can anyone help out?

Thanks very much and happy holidays,

WSO IB Course

 

nah bigunit, I'm at NYU. I think the S&T guide may be fairly new. I'd really rather not shell out $30 for a 150 pg book that I already read 1/2 of from google books link I posted.

 

My school has the S&T guide (published Dec. 2007).

It's an encrypted PDF file, meaning that you download an ebx.etd file, and you can only read it via Adobe Digital Editions.

Whether or not it'll work for you, I don't know. Whether or not it's legal or ethical to give you something intended for students at my school, I don't know either (but you go to a target school and should have access to it, so I don't see why not).

Edit: I tried downloading it again, and it wouldn't let me. Maybe it's a one time use thing?

 

MrMiyagi: Looks like it has the same structure like the IB Guide. I wasn't too thrilled with that one to be honest.

Jimbo: thank you. Basically because I already have some experience with (High Yield) bond origination from my previous internships and I figured this might be able to help me. Also, the bank I will be interning at is particularly strong in interest rates and the fact that it requires certain math skills might be beneficial for me (lots of financial math classes).

 

i'm not sure I should disclose that on a public forum. If you are interested to know I can send you a private message if this forum has that feature.

i'm an econ major in central europe and our finance dept is very quant oriented compared to other schools. How to price swaps, FRAs, bond options, CDSs etc., how to duplicate them and lots of theory on Vasicek, Black scholes and so on. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some kind of math wiz, I couldn't compete with a math major. But from my expereince from studying abroad (and this internship will be abroad) I think I have a better foundation than other econ majors. Time will tell if I'm right ;).

 

i realize that of course. but i figure it helps on the job to know the theory behind the standard models you learn in school and not just how to apply the formula.

at FRAs you have a one-time settlement and a swap every 6 months for instance, so basically a number of FRAs. is that right?

 

if you search you can find a link to the vault guides for free somewhere around here. i dont remember which thread it is, or id help you out. it took me some work to find the s&t one since some of the student sites that had the guides for free only had banking and sales or whatever. I don't think its worth the money but for free....... The Hull book is good if you can do the math (not overly complex, but not algebra either) but you might want to research the table of contents because it sounds like you already have a lot of the topics in your classes.
