📘 Course Description:

Understanding Collateral: Collateral represents a tangible or intangible asset pledged as security for a loan, typically to mitigate credit risk. In simple terms, it's like providing your home as collateral against a mortgage, giving the lender a claim on your property if you fail to repay the loan.

The Strategic Significance of Collateral Management: With the surge in financial transactions and the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the role of collateral has become increasingly strategic. It's essential for firms to effectively manage their available collateral to safeguard against credit or counterparty risk. This course will guide you through the complexities of collateral management in various financial settings.

Collateral Beyond Loans: Beyond mortgages, collateral is a cornerstone in the world of investment banking, especially in derivatives and securities financing transactions. Learn how collateral underpins Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivatives contracts, influencing their terms as agreed upon by counterparties, and how it's regulated by clearinghouses for listed derivatives.
