Money Markets - Part 3 (2018)

概要

This eCourse consists of two modules on money markets securities. Money market instruments are a very important subset of the capital markets. They offer short-term investors liquidity and (usually) high credit quality, but at a lower yield than is available in the bank deposit market. There are interest bearing and discount instruments to suit varied requirements.

Module 1 describes the essential features of Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and bankers’ acceptances. We will examine the nature of these products, their features, how they are used, and their usefulness in today's markets.

As covered in Module 1, interest bearing and discount instruments suit varied requirements, but structural conventions in the market make straight comparisons difficult.

Module 2 covers the structuring and pricing conventions in the money markets. In this module, you will learn how to be comfortable relating one instrument to another in order to arrive at the best investment alternative.
