概要

This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 examines the evolution and construction of inverse FRNs and closely-related structures, where the coupon being paid to investors is a hybrid of different components (such as a fixed part and a floating part). The module analyzes the motivations behind the purchase of such structures, as well as how the value of the structures can change.

Module 2 looks at range accrual structures in detail, examining their features and characteristics and showing how to price these instruments.

宗旨

On completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify the structure of an inverse/reverse FRN, and some of the more common variations
- Describe how the structure is derived from different component pieces
- Explain how the value of the structure (and hence the price to the investor) varies
- Define a range accrual structure and differentiate it from other structured notes
- Outline the main features and characteristics of range accrual structures
- Price a range accrual structure
