Common questions about our training courses
The course covers advanced equity derivatives including swaps, collars, and more complex structures, alongside volatility trading strategies and advanced equity options strategies. Risk management within equity derivative positions is also addressed. Delegates gain a working understanding of how these instruments are used in practice — both as investment and hedging tools — and how risk is monitored and managed across equity derivative exposures.
The course covers advanced fixed income securities alongside interest rate derivatives including swaps, caps, and floors. Yield curve strategies and the management of interest rate risk across fixed income portfolios are addressed in depth. Delegates gain a practical understanding of how interest rate derivatives are used to manage duration, hedge rate exposure, and express directional or relative value views across different points on the yield curve.
Advanced commodity derivatives and cross-commodity strategies are covered alongside risk management in commodity markets. Delegates gain a working understanding of how commodity derivative instruments are structured and how they are used to manage price risk, express market views, and construct cross-commodity positions. This is particularly relevant for professionals working in energy, metals, agriculture, or any sector where commodity price exposure is a material financial risk.
Volatility trading strategies are addressed as applied trading and risk management techniques rather than purely theoretical concepts. Delegates learn how volatility is measured, how it is traded through derivative instruments, and how volatility positioning interacts with broader portfolio and risk management objectives. This is directly relevant for those working in options trading, structured products, or risk functions where volatility exposure is a material consideration.
Advanced currency derivatives including exotic options and correlation trades are covered alongside cross-currency strategies and risk management in currency markets. Delegates learn how these instruments are structured, what risks they carry, and how they are applied to hedging and trading objectives in international financial markets. This is directly relevant for those working in treasury, foreign exchange, or multi-currency investment management where advanced currency derivative instruments form part of the risk management toolkit.
Cross-currency and cross-commodity strategies are covered as advanced applications of currency and commodity derivative instruments, addressing how correlations between different markets and asset classes are used to construct positions that express relative value or hedging objectives spanning multiple markets. Delegates gain a practical understanding of the risks and mechanics involved in these strategies, which is particularly relevant for those working in multi-asset trading, structuring, or risk management roles.
