Are you new to the world of finance, for example because you are transitioning from another sector? And do abbreviations such as AFM, ESMA, UCITS, CDD and MiFID not yet ring a bell? This e-learning will guide you through the financial world.
Companies that are active in the financial services industry enable the transfer of assets, for example through payments and loans. They also offer products and services that allow you to either hedge or take on risk. What financial products, instruments and services exist? Which laws and regulations must financial institutions comply with? And how is the supervision of these institutions organised? After completing this e-learning you will be able to answer all of these questions.
