Commodity Trading Risk Analyst Certificate

Overview

Commodity trading companies are exposed to a wide range of risks; operational and financial. Complex and diverse, the risks are often interconnected. The function of a Risk Manager is to identify the risks and to follow the operations all the way through the transaction from one end to the other, supported by specialised computer systems, while fostering communication among the various departments.

As the Risk Analyst function is at the heart of the business, his/her position has to constantly evolve in order to accompany the process of changes and the implementation of new projects and advanced technologies.

The Certificate consists of 8 modules representing a total of 48 teaching hours, delivered over two evenings per week (3 hours per session). All modules are taught in English.

The modules take place on Monday and Thursday evenings, to avoid any interference with professional obligations and to allow participants enough time to absorb and eventually practise what has been learnt in the programme.

Some pre-reading, preparation, case studies or homework may be required, depending on the teachers’ recommendations, and will be communicated upon admission to the course.

The lectures are given by industry experts from the commodity trading industry
