Crest operations

Background
CREST Operations is the primary UK Settlement System that is evolving to:
include an increasing variety of operations and functions
facilitate international settlement in some markets
apply to new products or investments such as OEICs and Unit Trusts and MMIs
In consequence even those previously familiar with CREST Operations may find that some of their knowledge is out of date.
Separately many users and operators of CREST have a good knowledge of their own area but lack either effective comprehensive training or a comfortable view of the whole operation.
This one day interactive live course aims to give a good practical understanding of CREST preparations as widely defined.
