Course Overview

The audit trail behind secondary derivatives market liquidity matters as much as the decision itself. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over market liquidity. It concentrates on the parts of the practice within financial and banking practice that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants finish able to explain secondary derivatives market liquidity to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of financial and banking practice, not for observers of it. The difficulty is not agreeing that market liquidity matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of secondary derivatives market liquidity and prepares them for it. Comparative studies of market liquidity across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of financial and banking practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
