This comprehensive programme provides students with up-to-date knowledge of global financial markets, which continue to evolve to meet the needs of modern economies. It examines how markets adapt to geopolitical events and risks as well as the challenges of – inter alia – the transition to a more sustainable socio-economic future.

The programme covers all principal public and private capital markets, both individually and from the perspectives of their interactions and convergence, as the importance of private equity and debt markets continues to grow.

The roles of key participants, from corporates and governments seeking to access financial markets for capital and liquidity resources, to banks, other intermediaries and regulators, are explored throughout the course. The programme uses case studies and examples from international financial markets to illustrate key points and issues and highlight regional differences in market structures and cultures.

In addition to developing a deep understanding of how financial markets function, the course provides delegates with the quantitative skills to analyse key financial instruments from both valuation and risk perspectives.
