Our treasury training lead started his investment career with Ivory & Sime, where he managed equity portfolios for institutional clients.

Redcliffe’s Treasury Management training course is designed to provide an introduction and overview of the relevant functions and instruments. Sessions suit participants new to the topic alongside those with experience in a specific area but lacking an overall view of the subject. The focus is on ensuring participants have a full practical understanding of the core concepts which can form the basis for further advanced, in-depth technical studies.

Treasury Management training looks at the subject from a banking perspective but is equally applicable to individuals working in a corporate treasury environment.

The course uses class exercises, case studies and discussion to bring to life what can be a very theoretical subject.

At Redcliffe Training our treasury management course is presented by a long-standing investment specialist with practical financial sector experience:
  • The course provides a clear, comprehensible and practical overview of a complex, technical and detailed topic
  • It is designed to make participants think about and understand the “why rather than just the “how” of this essential subject

This focused treasury management course is designed for individuals who would benefit from a broad understanding of the processes and functioning of the main associated investment products.

If you have recently joined or are looking to join a banking institution or a corporate treasury department, this course is perfect for you. It is also ideal for more established employees who would benefit from a better understanding of the whole treasury process.

Two-day treasury management training covers the basics of treasury management, including the term structure of interest rates, asset & liability management and risk. Day two focuses on the functions of the most important financial instruments – money markets and fixed income, derivatives and options.
