Classroom session

Derivatives: Increasing your portfolio’s efficiency

9 March 2010, 09.00-12.30

Recommended investment knowledge:

Derivatives have a reputation for complexity and danger and often conjure up an image of casino capitalism. Warren Buffett even called them financial weapons of mass destruction. However, arguably derivatives are simply tools that exist to solve problems and are, in many cases, a more efficient way to invest. This module dispels the myths and explains how, while covering the principal reasons why, derivatives are used.

Suggested entry requirements: Prospective delegates are advised to have a reasonable understanding of financial markets, equities in particular.

Benefits of attending these sessions: After having attended this session you will appreciate how derivatives can be employed to more efficiently manage exposures to financial markets.
