Derivatives in Fund Management provided derivatives training
across the organisation. Courses were tailored to suit
the specific needs of among others, operations, middle
office and legal staff. The training was aimed at increasing
overall awareness of derivatives throughout the organisation
and allowing staff to “buy in” to a key area
for Threadneedle.
As BGI have seen their reliance on derivatives grow throughout
2006, so their need for ‘derivative aware’
professionals across the business has increased. Last
year saw a concentration on the basic, Interest Rate and
Equity Swaps. However, the use of increasingly sophisticated
products and the growth of Liability Driven Investments,
has led to a resultant growth in their training requirements
in 2007.
Our Managing Director, Mark Doran, is currently Non-Executive
Director of Cazenove’s Derivatives Oversight Committee.
In this role he brings vital expertise to their decisions
relating to their derivatives-related business.

These Global Custodians have found the role of derivatives
expanding throughout 2006. Their training requirements
have covered areas including product knowledge within
the Fund Management arena, the Middle Office Role, Fund
Accounting, Collateral Management etc.
As a provider of technology, Latent Zero used DiFM’s
training services to increase their knowledge and derivative
skills. They told us that this would, in turn, allow them
to provide a much improved service to their clients.
