HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT

This two day seminar covers all of the aspects of arranging a syndicated loan. It considers the pricing, structure and risks that are involved in the process and is taught with the help of many case studies. Participants will be involved in evaluating a proposition in terms of the risks and rewards for the parties to the process and will assess the risks involved in a deal, structuring a facility to take account of those risks. They will also prepare a bid for a syndicated loan deal and will consider the use of asset securitisation in the removal of syndicated loan credit risk from a bank's balance sheet.
