Training Course Content
Unit-2: Securities
This unit considers the different securities traded in the financial markets including shares, warrants, bonds (with special emphasis on UK Government bonds) and currencies.
We then consider how securities are brought to market and discuss the role of stock exchanges. Initial Public Offerings as well as further issuances (including rights issues and bonus issues) are described. The rules around stake building are also examined. The trading of securities is then described before we examine how securities trades are cleared and settled at securities depositories.
Attention is then given to regulations across a number of important markets with special emphasis on the rules relating to disclosure of interests in shares. Accounting is then addressed with an examination of the main financial statements that companies must produce before we move on to the analysis of accounts. Finally we examine investment management by considering the risk and reward associated with investing in various asset classes.
