What
is the aim of this course?
Commercial bank traditional activities have involved the financing
of international trade and of short-term corporate working capital.
Over time, banks have gotten involved in long-term financing such as
fixed income and equities, long the province of brokerage firms and
investment bankers. Not possessing all the tools of this newer
business, banks have usually entered into strategic relationships
with issuing house/brokerage houses to offer one-stop services
encompassing both short and long-term products. Thus, knowledge of
corporate finance concepts and practices is a vital pre-requisite to
a successful banking career.
This course deals with principles of corporate finance and discusses
such interesting topics as syndications, fixed income, mergers and
acquisition. These are presented as viable options to funding the
growth of bank customers.
Who is it for?
A critical course for brokers and analysts involved in corporate
finance work and the provision of advisory services for corporate
renewal processes including mergers and acquisitions, privatizations
as well as the evaluation of investment opportunities for venture
capital purposes. Treasury officers who might be involved in
advising on the investment options of banks would find the course
helpful, as would relationship/marketing officers who might have to
provide a first line of advice to prospective customers for advisory
business.
