On day one, we start with the basics of interest rates – how are they quoted, how are the levels set and what drives movements in rates? We then look at the marketplace for debt products focussing on the details of the money and bond markets. The course will help participants understand how companies, banks and investors use these markets as well as covering the technical details around pricing and risk management.

On day two we move our focus to interest rate derivative products. This section begins with a look at the linear derivative products: FRAs, futures and swaps. We cover the intuitive understanding of these products and the client applications, through to detail on the pricing and risk management. Once we have laid the derivative foundations, we move onto option products, including a look at exotic derivatives. Main option applications will be covered, and participations will be introduced to option pricing and option risk. The course finishes with a look at interest rate structured products, examining some of the investor favourites and asking what makes them so appealing.
