“I find the seminar very useful and would strongly recommend it to those interested in Credit Derivatives, Exotic Options and Structured Products. Dr. Jeff is a very good facilitator and is able to explain complex concepts in terms which are easy to understand. Appreciate his ability to challenge our thought process leading us to a deeper understanding of these products. Dr. Jeff’s willingness to impart knowledge and advice from his vast practical experience in Treasury Risk and Products is invaluable for us to tackle real  life situations in this competitive banking environment.”

- Ms. Christine Lim Ai Lian OCBC, Singapore. [Class of October 2005]
