About the CPD course
This introductory level programme has been designed for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the buyside – or the investor base - of the financial markets; with a particular focus on fixed income. The syllabus offers an overview of the financial marketplace including who the different buyside investors are and what are their motivations and investment strategies. The course also provides participants with a refresher on fixed income and the risks associated with that instrument in particular.
