Derivatives & Risk Management

The Schweser Institute Derivatives and Risk Management Course provides a unique educational opportunity for individuals who require a complete understanding of risk management issues. Our vertical learning approach begins with the introductory quantitative methods material that clients need to understand the more complex topics in risk management. This course breaks down each major topical area (options, futures, swaps, financial modeling) into basic and advanced treatments.

Introduces and explains the qualities of the wide array of derivative investments, including options, swaps, and forwards in their diverse and sometimes exotic forms.
Explores the sophisticated modeling and analytical processes that underlie derivatives pricing.
Gives the learner a solid base of the application of derivatives in hedging activities.

Although derivatives are a hot topic in investment circles, until recently most professionals have had little exposure to the mechanics or application of derivatives. With the recent increase in market volatility, it is critical that professionals have a solid grasp of the tools available for measuring and managing value. This module would also be very useful to any financial professional who must understand a firm's hedging or speculative activities and extremely useful to anyone looking to understand and manage risk.
