DUBLIN: The "Clearing, Settlement and Counterparty Risk" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Course Leader for this training course has been working in the derivatives industry for 30 years and regularly teaches on behalf of the world's leading clearing houses and stock exchanges. These institutions are vital to managing counterparty risk.

In recent years a lot of attention has been focused on the subject of post trade environment - clearing and settlement.

This informative and easy to follow one day course, has been specially designed to explain how the clearing and settlement process works for derivatives and securities, demonstrating how banks and their clients manage their counterparty risk - which is particularly important in the post financial era. You will learn about the role of Central Counter Party (CCP) otherwise known as the Clearing House, and its role to mitigate counterparty risk, as well as relationships between end users, clearing members and the CCP. You will also learn how the risk is mitigated through the process of margining.

The course also shows in some detail, how the margining system allows for the netting of risk and the effective management of collateral.
