1 International Fixed Income and Derivatives (IFID) Programme I C M A C E N T R E T H E B U S I N E S S S C H O O L F O R F I N A N C I A L M A R K E T S

2 Course Overview Established for over 30 years as THE qualification for the fixed income market, the IFID programme puts emphasis on developing practical skills for trading, investment and risk management. This is a demanding, examined course aimed at developing a broad and in-depth knowledge of the key fixed income instruments, derivatives and markets. The syllabus contains five topic sections: Fixed income analysis Rates trading and hedging Structured securities Credit analysis and products Portfolio & risk management. As an intermediate qualification, the IFID certificate syllabus requires that the candidates should already have some familiarity with the below listed topics (note that Background Reading is provided on the below topics for those who wish some reading on any of the topics): Fundamental Numerical Skills Overview of Financial Markets and Participants The Main Fixed Income Securities The IFID was completely updated as of 1 May 2009 and represents current and authoritative content for its topic areas. Programme Recognition The IFID programme is a "Recommended Exam" on the FSSC (Financial Service Skills Council, United Kingdom) Wholesale Banking list for people working and advising in Securities and Derivatives, and it has also met the FSSC's Key 2 "Appropriate Exam" standards for activities: 'Advising on Derivatives and 'Advising on Securities. IFID candidates also qualify for 29.5 credit hours under the guidelines of CFA Institute Continuing Education Programme. I found the IFID Certificate extremely relevant and very satisfying and one of the only courses available with such a market orientation focus. Kim Andersen, Portfolio Manager, Danmarks Nationalbank

3 ICMA Education combines a top calibre academic faculty and financial practitioners from the huge ICMA membership base to deliver world class and intellectually stimulating training. By blending input from the banking sector and academic world, I believe the IFID syllabus provides candidates a comprehensive understanding of cash and derivative fixed income securities and their markets. It is a well respected training programme, having gained strong regulatory recognition. IFID has obtained appropriate exam status at the retail and more recently recommended exam status at the wholesale level for securities and derivatives within the United Kingdom. Brian Lawson, Co-Head Equity and Fixed Income Syndicate, Nomura International plc Course Content and Format Course Format The IFID is available in two formats: Residential 1-week course twice a year, in April and October Distance Learning Total flexibility as candidates work in their own time (subject to a six month exam deadline) Both formats entitle registered candidates to access the On-line Campus for course preparation.
