Course objectives
To build on the basic knowledge gained on our own introductory course or elsewhere, to enable the delegates to understand the various functions that collectively make up the equity activities of both investment banks and asset management firms.
Who should attend?
The course is structured specifically for people working in human resources, human capital management, recruitment and consultancy where the deeper understanding will enable the delegates to both better sell their services to financial services firms (particularly the investment banks) and better source and recommend candidates for equity roles.
