Members of Islamic bank Global Banking Corporation's (GBCORP) wealth management & investment placement team (IPT) and investment banking divisions attended an advanced specialised training course in investment representative theory and practice.
As a strategic initiative by GBCORP the course, held in Seef Elite Suites in Bahrain, enhanced the knowledge of the 15 participants on a broad range of theoretical scenarios for various products including equity securities, debt securities, options and mutual funds.
The programme also provided comprehensive training on investment banking, securities laws and regulations, trading procedures, margin accounts, customer accounts and direct participation programmes.
During the event, the participants were taken through an overall introduction into the securities industry, and discussed the servicing and maintaining of customer accounts, equities, the fundamentals of debt, exchange markets, the over-the-counter market, margin accounts, basic option positions and economics and securities analysis.
Case studies tackled were based on the Bahrain and other Arab capital markets, as well as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), equity and non-equity options, technical and fundamental analysis.
This programme will enable the wealth management and IPT team to offer financial advise to GBCORP's investors.

Our aim has been to demonstrate that a firm can thrive through intense focus on core values - including dedication to employee-bank well-being."
