Course Summary

Understanding and identifying how to limit price risk exposure is a complex task. This two-day course will provide attendees with a forum to maximize hedging efficiencies and limit price risk exposure. Delegates will build a portfolio of industry techniques for managing price risk in today's volatile energy markets.

16 CPE credits awarded for this course.

Delivery Method: Group-Live

Who Should Attend?

This two-day advanced workshop is perfect for those who are already familiar with futures and options but want a more in-depth understanding of hedging and the tools available in both exchange-traded and over-the-counter markets. This course uses hedging examples, allowing delegates to work through the planning and execution of simple hedges using futures, swaps and options. Case studies enable the delegates to apply their hedging skills to more complex scenarios. And in a hedging simulation, teams of delegates compete to see who can manage price risk best in a volatile energy market. This programme deals with many different energy commodities, including oil and gas.
