Corporate Banking - Part 5
Overview
This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 details how asset-based finance works and how it meets corporates’ business needs. It covers the different asset types, the common features of asset-based loans, and the differences between loans and leases. The risks associated with asset-based finance products and how these risks can be mitigated are discussed in detail. The module concludes by looking at the asset realization process and the issues and challenges this can produce.
Module 2 focuses on trade finance products and services. It describes trade transactions and the business needs they give rise to, along with various services and funded/unfunded products that are available to meet these needs. This is followed by an explanation of issues and risks that can occur with these products and the ways that these risks can be managed. Note that, while the module concentrates on cross-border (international) trade, some of the products and services, such as bonds/guarantees, are also used domestically.
