Who is this course suitable for?

This course is relevant for all businesses with direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes and interest rate changes. Hedging transactions and strategy should then be part of operations. We will teach you how uncertainty related to changes in foreign exchange rates and fixed income securities can be mitigated. The course is suitable for those working in business management, finance, accounting, or sales and procurement, and who wish to learn more about risk management.

The Interest Rate and Currency Seminar is divided into three parts. Parts I and II provide a thorough understanding of the FX and money markets and the instruments used. We cover in detail how pricing occurs in the market, basic and advanced FX and money market instruments, and how to use them.

Part III provides a practical introduction to risk management and the development of financial strategy. You will learn how interest rate and currency risk can be identified. Then how a financial strategy can be developed to manage the financial risk in the company.
