Overview

The ability of companies to raise capital in the most effective manner is an important issue both for financial institutions and their clients. The BG Consulting approach is to consider both debt and equity primary markets from the perspectives of issuers, arrangers and investors. The growing links between the debt and equity areas in the primary and secondary markets is emphasised.

In today’s increasingly complex financial environment, a knowledge of derivatives markets, for every division of an institution, is vital. The use of derivatives is spreading rapidly from their traditional areas in fixed income and foreign exchange to equities, credit, inflation and commodities. BG Consulting’s experienced pool of trainers is capable of delivering courses from the fundamental up to an advanced structuring level. The experience of our trainers enables them to offer an insight into front office sales and trading; middle office risk and I.T.; back office and compliance; and to your clients. Investors are becoming increasingly attuned to the effects that changes in the value of instruments in one part of a company’s capital structure impinge on another.

When designing a high-level programme, advanced pricing and hedging issues can be explored through computer-based exercises using either BG Consulting or Client models. We can decompose structured note termsheets issued by a particular institution in order to highlight the benefits to investors, the risks involved, how the transaction is constructed, and how it should be hedged.

Whatever the need, BG Consulting can offer capital markets training programmes that will engage and enlighten, resulting in a tangible improvement in business performance. Sample courses might include:

	Introduction to Financial Markets
