Around 800 students and finance professionals in Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore have received nationally recognized certificates, offered by IFMP, a registered certification body by the Securities and Exchanges Commission of Pakistan, from a series of training programs currently underway in collaboration with USAID funded Financial Market Development Activity (FMD).
A spokesman of the IFMP said Tuesday that the course titled Fixed Income Investment and Trading Certification Course is being offered to students in business schools and industry professionals across the country.
The first ever training program in the subject in Pakistan, this course is designed to create a critical knowledge base and skill set amongst students and different institutional investors, such as commercial banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension fund managers, and other market participants and covers a variety of fixed income securities from conventional and Islamic markets, including sovereign, corporate, structured credit/asset-backed bonds and related derivatives. Issues regarding bond market regulatory oversight (monitoring, compliance and enforcement), product development, and market operations are also discussed. A 4-member team of internationally qualified and experienced trainers including two senior international finance professionals and two Pakistanis are conducting the trainings.-PR
