Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for finance and banking professionals — including investment bankers, corporate finance managers, treasury specialists, asset managers, compliance professionals, and financial analysts — who need a structured, comprehensive understanding of how equity and debt capital markets operate. It is equally valuable for those entering capital markets roles and experienced professionals looking to consolidate and deepen their knowledge across both ECM and DCM.
Delegates will develop a working understanding of the core theoretical frameworks that underpin capital markets — including portfolio theory, the Efficient Market Hypothesis, CAPM, WACC, and the Efficient Frontier. Understanding these theories gives professionals the ability to evaluate investment decisions, assess risk and return trade-offs, and understand how capital is priced — knowledge that is directly applicable across banking, investment, and corporate finance roles.
Day 4 dedicates full coverage to debt capital markets — including bond characteristics and pricing models, borrower requirements, fixed rate versus floating rate notes (FRNs), Medium Term Notes (MTNs), and the high yield market. Delegates leave with a comprehensive understanding of the debt issuance landscape and how different instruments serve different borrower and investor needs.
A general understanding of financial concepts is helpful, but the course begins with financial markets fundamentals — covering the role of capital markets, investment banks, and financing choices — before progressing to more advanced instruments and theories. Delegates from corporate finance, treasury, compliance, or general banking backgrounds will find the content accessible and directly relevant to their professional context.
Day 3 covers equity markets in depth — including equity characteristics, types of equity, ECM pricing models such as DDM and DCF, and the mechanics of IPOs, primary offerings, and secondary offerings. Delegates develop a clear understanding of how companies access equity capital, how shares are priced, and how different stock market structures affect the issuance process.
Day 5 covers the mechanics of syndication — explaining why and how deals are syndicated, how underwriting works, how distribution and pricing mechanisms operate in practice, and what the key roles and responsibilities are across the syndicate. Delegates develop a practical understanding of how capital markets transactions move from mandate to execution.
