概要

This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 covers Power Reverse Dual Currency (PRDC) Notes. While the instrument itself is well understood, and has been issued in such quantities that it is almost considered a 'vanilla' instrument amongst investors, the structuring and hedging of a PRDC note is highly complex. This module tackles many of these complexities by examining in detail the structures and risks associated with these notes.

Module 2 studies the distinctive characteristics of TARNs. It will also look into the widespread applicability of the TARN concept. Finally, this module will identify the valuation difficulties and analyze the approach taken to solving them.
