Trustee Swaps Briefing

Trustee Swaps Briefing Training Course

Background Swaps are increasingly suggested to Trustees as an investment solution in place of Long Dated Bonds.

What are they? How do they work? What types are there? What Risks and Returns are there? What costs and flexibility is there?

This half day Briefing is designed to give an understanding as to the nature, types, risks and returns of Swaps in clear language and avoiding unnecessary complexity and detail.

No prior Swaps knowledge is assumed but a general awareness of Bonds is needed.
