Course description
Derivatives
This course makes the complex world Derivatives Markets easy to understand. While being prepared to tackle the difficult topics such as Option pricing, Securitisation and Credit Derivatives these products are explained in a way that is easy to comprehend. Case studies and exercises are used throughout, utilising “real life scenarios”, to aid learning and understanding. All the major types of derivatives are explained, from Exchange Traded to Over the Counter. We examine how Vanilla IRS and CDSs have migrated to electronic trading, meaning standardisation and the use of Clearing Houses for Netting. Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) and the Credit Risk mitigation is dealt with. This course will give any participant, even starting with no experience, an in depth understanding of the modern derivative markets.
The course is inter-active and we encourage Participants to apply themselves to the exercises and case studies which are intended to mirror real work experience.
The exercises are relevant and up-to-date and we use both theoretical and where appropriate real life examples, where these are more helpful. In certain sections, we will refer to current economic data and live market prices, bringing a “real life” edge to the training.
