This subject aims to build upon investment product knowledge gained in previous subjects. Students will develop a detailed understanding of additional investment products available, especially in the wholesale markets (such as derivatives) and how they are used to generate yield and/or modify risk. It also explores the increasing financial planning context of these investment instruments which most financial planners have traditionally only been exposed to through the use of managed investment funds. For more information, please refer to the subject outline.
