Issuing Debt Securities

Course Overview:

This is a 1-day intensive and interactive training programme covering the steps of issuing a Eurobond. The purpose is to give the traders perspective to lawyers and bankers. First we shall compare Fixed Income Bonds with other fund raising instruments such as syndicated loans. We will go through all the steps required for issuing the bond and cover the pricing methodology in order to break through the mystic of jargon and calculation.

Finally, we shall emphasise the documentation required throughout the process. By attending this one day course you will gain an understanding of the debt origination process, learn about the pricing process, be able to calculate all-in price and all-in cost, work out annualised fees and go through a real life case study.
