Course Overview

Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of exotic derivative pricing. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over the financial and banking practice capability. Participants gain a realistic view of what the practice within financial and banking practice costs and what it returns. Across sectors, teams that rehearse exotic derivative pricing outperform teams that only plan it. Every module pairs a short input on the wider financial and banking practice agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. The version of this strand of financial and banking practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme takes participants through exotic derivative pricing end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the financial and banking practice capability is examined from more than one functional angle. The final session converts the week's work on this area of financial and banking practice into commitments with owners and dates.
