Course Overview
Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of passive portfolios and index funds. Growth built on poorly controlled index funds reverses faster than it accumulated. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this aspect of financial and banking practice in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme suits teams tackling passive portfolios and index funds together as readily as individuals attending alone. Organisations that document this strand of financial and banking practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Every module pairs a short input on index funds with structured practice on the participant's own material. The difficulty is not agreeing that passive portfolios and index funds matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It treats index funds as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the financial and banking practice capability that participants can repeat annually.
