This course will cover credit derivatives and is suitable for anyone currently working in this area of finance or who would like to work in this area.

Delegates will begin with a brief overview of the current market size and expected growth, as well as the participants. From a basic understanding of why derivatives came about, you will learn more about credit risk and credit derivatives. There will also be an analysis of credit spreads and the calculation and construction of credit spread curves.

Delegates will also learn about basic instruments and other products, such as credit default and contingent default swaps, dynamic default swaps, sale & TRS packages. Notes and options will also be covered.

By the end of this seminar, delegates will be familiar with the basic credit derivatives, their raison d'être, structures and pricing factors. They will appreciate the risks transferred by these products (and the residual risks that are not).

In addition, delegates will appreciate the uses of credit derivatives for corporate financing structures and the circumstances in which they might be utilised for hedging risk, both from a client standpoint and from that of the corporate banker.
