Do you want to understand how the systems of central (reserve banks), inter-bank markets, capital markets and equity markets fit together?

If you answered yes to any of these questions above then this course is for you!

The Financial Markets and Treasury Management Course brings together all of the knowledge I have acquired in my studies of Advanced Mathematics of Finance, combined with my years of experience as a dealmaker at one of the largest investment banks in Africa. In today's ever-changing and unpredictable world, multi-disciplinary knowledge is vital in expanding one's problem solving toolkit. The concepts taught in this course are extensive and cover a broad area of financial markets (from government treasury, to corporate treasury), and most of the commonly traded financial instruments seen in these markets.

Use this course to broaden your area of expertise in general financial markets, and deepen your understanding of how all the various cogs in the system align and come together to form the financial ecosystem underpinning the global economy.
