The course Financial Markets Instruments II is the continuation of the winter course Financial Markets Instruments I. Its objective is to provide basic and medium-level knowledge about theoretical background and practical functioning of selected segments of financial markets, namely the fixed-income securities (bonds, repos, mortgages), swaps and credit derivatives. The stress is laid primarily on understanding the role of these instruments in managing financial risks and in speculative, hedging and arbitrage trading strategies.
