Description
Unless people are interested in financial markets personally or study business or finance, they have little exposure to equity and bond markets. Even to these informed individuals, securities lending is a niche component of capital market activity. A better understanding of markets generally and securities lending specifically would help people do their jobs better, but a course that ties the two together builds on the inter-relationship and gives learners a big step up. That’s what this course provides.
