Financial Markets Transactions

This core micro-credential provides an overview of the financial products traded in financial markets. Participants will identify key features of products, who uses them and how and why they are used. With these products in mind, participants will examine the deal lifecycle of a financial transaction to gain an appreciation of how to execute transactions and to recognise that institutions have their own specific requirements. We overlay the lens of regulatory frameworks across the deal lifecycle, so that participants gain a general appreciation of the ongoing requirements that govern how market participants should conduct themselves.
