Financial Products & Markets

Advanced level with an international capability

As the financial markets expand and develop it becomes more and more difficult to keep up with the latest products and their associated risks, trading methods and settlement procedures.

At the introductory level, beginners are gently eased into real-life examples through a blend of theory and case studies, and by reference to the financial press. This enables delegates to learn about the fundamentals of the various products and also about their uses by different financial agents.

At intermediate and higher levels delegates will often need to use financial models to investigate key aspects of the product (e.g. the trading characteristics of derivatives) and this training is usually carried out by experienced ex-traders.

With its wide faculty CTG can also satisfy the training needs of the middle office and back office – in product knowledge and risk-control – as well as being able to cover the accounting issues involved in these complex products.

Through a combination of full-time consultants and selected associate trainers, CTG is able to cover the full range of products in the debt, derivative and equity markets.
