ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

A significant volume and range of asset types are securitised but few people outside of the sector have a good grasp of the fundamentals of how it is done, the various risks involved and how they are mitigated. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the process, how the rating agencies seek to quantify the risk, the variety of structures involved and the motivations of the different parties involved. It also touches on the regulations and how the market has evolved during and since the financial crisis.

Industry Expert | Michael Stafferton

Michael began his financial markets career in 1986 on the Financial Engineering desk at Yamaichi International, then one of the so-called ‘Big Four’ Japanese securities houses. The desk was mainly responsible for designing, structuring and swapping vanilla and structured bond issues for European clients. He then moved to a coverage role, predominantly in the UK and Eire, with responsibility for some of the more technically demanding clients, including the Bank of England and the European Investment Bank. He greatly expanded the volume of deals done, including a government, major banks, building societies and corporates. The role also involved working on UK privatisations and with the bank and fund management arm. In 1994 he moved to Kleinwort Benson with responsibility for debt, convertible and tax-structured origination with a number of top UK companies and helped launch an FRN.

He has been training across a wide spectrum of cash instruments, derivatives, commodities and in risk management and regulation since 1999, at up to senior management level globally, his clients comprising mainly the top tier investment banks and fund managers, and is the author of a textbook on credit derivatives (Credit Derivatives Workbook, Euromoney, 2004).

Training Style

Most of the key points are conveyed by a carefully structured set of clear diagrams; questions and discussion are strongly encouraged. There is a case study of a recent issue from one of the major sectors.
