[Class of October 2005]   “Dr. Jeffrey Lim is able to facilitate the Seminar using techniques and material which are from basic to the more advanced, therefore allowing me to have a deeper understanding of derivatives.

[Class of July 2010]   “The world of exotic options and credit derivatives is complex even to most practitioners in the finance industry. Dr. Jeffrey was able to do the breakdown and explain the concepts of such derivatives in a clear and concise manner. His seminar is not typical of the normal “text book” curriculum as it offers a practical and meaningful insight on how these products were actually developed and traded in the real world. Highly recommended for people who want to know more about such products!” - Mr. Aaron Pang Xue Shun KBC Bank N.V., Singapore. [Class of August 2018]   “As expected, a very interesting Program!

[Class of May 2021]     Highlights   In living life, the secret of the How's is actually in the Why's! History is actually an important subject. Knowing history well tells us why we are here today. Knowing history really well can sometimes even tell us where we are heading into the future! Acquire a solid foundational knowledge of Credit Derivatives. Understand why Exotic Options were developed and how these options can be applied to improve the optimality of hedging or investment strategies. Some examples of Exotic Options discussed are: Asians, Compounds, Digitals and Lookbacks.
