Derivatives Operations
Objectives
The course is aimed at developing both a broad and in-depth knowledge of the key operational aspects of derivatives processing and is equally relevant to the buy-side and sell-side of the business. To achieve this, we examine the market infrastructure and product types before taking a look at the operational life-cycle of exchange traded and OTC derivative products.
Target Audience
This course is suitable for operational practitioners who have a good fundamental level of knowledge of derivatives, and who are looking to develop their understanding to a more advanced level. This course is an extension of the ICMA Operations Certificate Programme (OCP); however, there are no formal pre-requisites to taking this course.
Length and Structure of the Course
The course consists of two days of lectures, case studies and group exercises. Each day typically consists of four, 90 minute sessions with coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon and lunch break in the middle. There is no exam for this course but candidates will receive a certificate of attendance.
