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 activity and hard to link to wider 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 and builds on the inter-relationship gives learners a big step up. That’s what this course provides.  

Over the 8 hours, attendees will gain a high-level understanding of:

  • What are financial markets and what is their purpose

  • Equities, ETFs, ADRs, Indices, IPOs

  • Debt markets and bond fundamentals

  • Derivatives

  • Active vs Passive investment management

  • Role of Securities Lending in Capital Markets

  • Securities lending revenue creation

  • Pre- and Post-trade operations

  • Risk & Regulation

Format

4 x 2 hour webinar sessions, with 50 minutes of lecture followed by 10 minutes of Q&A
