The goal of the Derivatives Webinar Series is to introduce and broaden participants’ knowledge and understanding of Derivatives market, its application, market operations and risk management with key focus on peculiar topics such as Futures Contracts, Margining, Positions, Derivatives Risk Management, Regulation and Documentation.
The webinar sessions have been targeted at regulators and market participants such as FMDQ Exchange Dealing Member (Banks), FMDQ Exchange Dealing Member (Specialists), Corporates, Brokers, Asset Managers, Pension Fund Administrators, Insurance Companies, other non-bank financial institutions as well as the media under the auspices of the Capital Markets Market Correspondent Association of Nigeria.
