Description
This course delivers a concise, practical grounding in investment banking operations, combining core concepts with hands-on exercises. It prepares learners to understand market mechanics, trading instruments, and operational workflows used across capital markets and asset management.
MODULE 1: Equity and Bond Market Essentials
Introduces investment banking operations, their roles, and market context. Covers: equity markets (issuance, trading, valuation), bond markets (pricing, yields, fixed-income mechanics), and mortgage-backed securities (securitization, cash-flow analysis, interest-rate impact).
MODULE 2: Advanced Market Operations
Expands into market segments and risk-management tools: foreign exchange (spot/forward, currency risk, hedging), money markets (short-term instruments and liquidity), asset management (portfolio construction, fund structures, performance evaluation), and derivatives (interest-rate and currency swaps, valuation, and use in hedging).
MODULE 3: Mock Tests & Quizzes
Reinforces learning with mock tests and quizzes, and practical exercises that simulate real-world operational scenarios to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Upon completion, participants will possess operational knowledge of equity, fixed income, FX, money markets, MBS, asset management, and swaps, as well as the practical skills to apply this understanding in investment banking or related finance roles.
