That’s not fog; it’s a sandstorm

EJJ International saw more sand than metal during it’s first LME course in Dubai!  An extraordinary sand-storm grounded aircraft and brought traffic to a standstill.

In the comparative calm of the training room, a varied group of delegates from nearby (Dubai, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia) and further afield (Greece and India) made for lively debates and Q&A sessions.  Patricia Rodrigues from Euromoney Learning Solutions was on-hand to present the course certificates at the end of the course, and the feedback told us that things were clearer inside the training room than outside.

“I loved the way the material was explained.  I picked up all the information I need.” ALBA

Bring a client

Our most recent course for a Swiss asset management and social investor was greatly enhanced by a presentation by one of their coffee trading clients.  The group felt the immediate benefit of the training as the topics discussed in the early training sessions enhanced the group’s understanding of the presentation, and the real life challenges and strategies adopted by the trading client were the foundation of case studies and discussions for the remainder of the course.

“The Hedging Commodity Price Risk Course was very valuable for our investment team. We enjoyed Emma’s profound know-how of the topic as well as her ability to put theory in practice, which was greatly supported by the presence of one of our clients. The course allowed us to understand the day-to-day challenges of trading companies and thus to improve the risk assessment in our portfolio.“  Nancy Sommer, Credit Risk Management, Swiss Asset Management and Social Investor

Commodity Markets, Derivatives and Finance – London

This comprehensive five day financial training course covers the most important aspects of commodity markets, related derivatives and financing structures.

The commodity markets present unique challenges such as non-homogeneity of product, physical versus paper product, delivery location and liquidity issues.  The sector enjoyed an unprecedented bull run at the beginning of the decade, and suffered a sharp pull-back as a consequence of the global financial crisis.  Understand the structural readjustments taking place and be best positioned to profit from changes in commodity trading behaviour.

This course seeks to clarify the primary influences on the major commodity sectors and equip participants with tools to assess the risk inherent in commodity related strategies.

This intensive course covers important topics in the commodity sector, from hedging techniques and investment strategies, through to loan structuring.
