Course Overview

In finance the difference between a healthy position on derivatives and advanced hedging and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over advanced hedging. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the financial and banking practice capability rather than to abstract argument. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what derivatives and advanced hedging has actually achieved. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this area of financial and banking practice are used deliberately. It treats advanced hedging as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The professional literature on derivatives and advanced hedging converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Moving advanced hedging from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the financial and banking practice discipline sustainable.
