Financial Engineering Toolkit
Structured Notes and Bonds
Credit-Linked Structures
Equity-Linked Structures
Commodity and Currency Linked Structures
Advanced and Exotic Structures
Hybrid Products
The purpose of this workshop is to give you hands-on experience in constructing and analyzing a wide range of structured products. We assume that you have already obtained a good understanding of the products characteristics, mechanics and uses, e.g. from participating in our seminar "Structured Products – Instruments and Mechanics".

We start with a review of the "Financial Engineering Toolkit": Yield curves, discount factors, volatility curves, option pricing models, simulation techniques etc.

The remaining part of the workshop is structured into three hands-on sessions. At the beginning of each of these sessions, you will be presented with a "client case" with a specification of a client's investment (or financing) objectives and constraints. You will then be assigned with the task of "engineering" (i.e. designing and testing) one or more products that meet "your" client's needs.

In session one, you will construct reverse floaters, capped floaters, bear notes, constant maturity floaters, targeted redemption notes and/or other types structured notes and bonds.

In session two the task will be to create credit-linked notes, synthetic CDO's and other types of credit-linked products.

In session three, we work with principal guaranteed notes, discount certificates, currency-linked notes, bull certificates, bonus certificates, cliquet and ratchet structures and/or other "exotic" and hybrid structures.

At the end of each session we will review and discuss some of the best solutions in plenum. Specifically, we will verify that the products actually are compliant with clients' needs and constraints. We will also discuss possible tax and accounting consequences of your proposed solutions.

The workshop will be highly practical, offering you a unique opportunity to work in-depth with the design of structured products.

You will have your own PC available during the entire workshop. You will, of course, receive a copy of all of your files and of the instructor's master files at the end of the workshop.
The course will be highly practical and hands-on. Participants are required to bring a notebook with MS Excel. Participants will use models and exercises to outline and develop the techniques and methods.
