OVERVIEW
COURSE SYLLABUS
COURSE DETAILS
TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE
This livestreamed workshop aims to give compliance professionals an in-depth and thorough understanding of the practices that are involved in launching a deal in the international debt capital market.
It explains precisely how the deal is done, starting with first steps in the pre-launch process - looking at the pitch book, the mandate, the roadshow and the prospectus - through syndication, including book building and allocation, up to and including the final public launch of the issue.
At each point in the progress of the deal through to launch, the interaction of current regulation with the process is considered (including the Market Abuse Directive and the Prospectus Directive). The session is interactive, giving participants the opportunity to raise and discuss queries from their own experience.
An introductory session on the role and characteristics of the international bond market and the expectations of bond investors features in the seminar, as well as an explanation of the role and scope of the ICMA Primary Market Handbook, the internationally recognised guide to best practice in this area.
This workshop will be conducted over two morning sessions (BST/CEST) and is based on an interactive workshop approach incorporating trainer and peer-led discussion plus a Q&A session featuring ICMA’s Market Practice and Regulatory Policy team members.
