Description
Through this program, participants will gain better understanding and road map into the complexities of the securities brokerage, investment banking, hedge fund, asset management and commercial banking businesses. No assumption is made about prior knowledge. Thus foundational issues are first addressed to enable participants to understand the players, markets, products and strategies of financial institutions, and the influences of regulatory, competitive and technological pressures. This provides context so participants leave with an awareness of the day-to-day functioning of financial institution businesses. More technical subjects are reviewed at a high level, as well, to acquaint participants with the mechanics of the business, the trade life cycle, the language of finance, the essentials of risk, bond math, quoting conventions, yield curves, duration and convexity, options. This course is essential in understanding the finance business.
This program is vital for individuals who require a rapid introduction to global financial institutions, markets and products, including those that work for, consult to or serve international financial institutions. It will be particularly useful for front, middle and back office staff, including relationship managers, salespeople, traders, systems analysts and business development staff.
