BA Banking: Structured Products

Interactive Seminar
Please note: This seminar will only be held in German

The seminar Banking: Structured Products provides an overview of the topic of structured products and is held in an interesting, flipped classroom format. This means that basic theoretical and mathematical topics such as the construction, valuation and hedging of structured products are made available for self-study in the form of video sequences. Questions about the video sequences are then discussed in the lecture hall and the theory is applied to current topics. Case studies on the theory learned are developed in groups with the support of the lecturer. Finally, the groups develop their own structured product and present it in a presentation. In addition, there is an industry event at Leonteq AG, where there is a guided tour of their premises as well as exciting guest lectures and a case study is solved with their in-house evaluation tool.

Learning objectives

Students learn how the most important structured products in the Swiss market work and how they can be used. They acquire knowledge about the breakdown, valuation and hedging aspects from the issuer's perspective. They will also learn about the investor's view of the opportunities and risks associated with the use of structured products.
