Introduction
Whoever watched “The Wolf of Wall Street” has struggled to understand the jobs, products, jargon that surround the financial markets. Some of us are still trying to get their way out of this financial jungle and clarify the associated strategies. Demystifying financial instruments is the key objective of the step by step programme we propose below. Our modular approach allows each participant to select his/her entry point in the programme to best fit cumulated knowledge and experience on this wide topic.
Objectives
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Define the general characteristics of each instrument
Gain in-depth understanding of how the instrument operates
List how it can best be used on the market – be it in single or in combination with other instruments
Understand the valuation method and what can impact the value of it
Identify major risks associated and determine controls that may mitigate them
Content
The fundamentals of an IRS swap contract: asset or liability swap, main contract features
Main swap uses; unwinding of a swap; swap risks
The swap market and yield curve
The case of a CRS
Swaps variants: CMS swaps, 0-coupon swap
Other types of swaps: volatility or variance swaps, inflation swaps, commodity swaps, performance swaps, dividend swaps
The content of the session is illustrated by many real, market examples. It is given in an attractive, understandable way, avoiding mathematical developments (grouped into a final “pricing” session).
