Description

New from autumn 2020 also bookable in hybrid format

The seminar presents all prevalent money market products with a focus on
derivatives. In our famous PC simulations, teams of participants run a money
market book as traders. Taking into account market movements, legal requirements
and risk limits, they improve their trading strategies daily and their
decisions become increasingly clever and well-founded. In the end, the share
price determines the winning team.
