The Securities Trade Lifecycle: Front, Middle & Back-Office serves as an excellent foundational resource for those new to investment banking or trade lifecycles. While minor technical issues and content redundancy can be improved, the course overall excels in clarifying concepts with live whiteboard explanations, illustrative examples, and emphasis on risk management throughout. Enhancements focusing on the latest industry trends and practical aspects of custodians and stock exchanges would further elevate its effectiveness to meet modern standards.
