Corporate Treasury Management: Interest Rate Risk Management - Online

Financial markets have seen an enormous growth in fixed-income obligations, which in turn has increased volatility of interest rates. The management of interest rate risk using various derivative instruments (futures, swaps and options) forms the focus of this course. The mechanics and application of these instruments for hedging, arbitrage and speculation purposes are discussed. Caselets and simulation exercises facilitate better understanding of interest rate risk management.
