HSBC’s Structured Investments Training
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Structured Investments Accounts have become very popular and they are growing, said Tareq Muhmood, HSBC Chief Executive Officer, during his opening speech at the Structured Investments Training for the bank's corporate and institutional clients held yesterday at Sheraton Utama Hotel.

Given the growing importance of Structured Investments, the half-day event was organised by HSBC's Global Markets division to give their clients an insight on the subject.

Invited guests include members of the Brunei Government team and members of the Employees Trust Fund. Also present were Rosdi Amin Yaakub, Deputy CEO, and Salyahrinah Yahya, the Treasurer and Head of Global Markets. The programme was conducted by Mr Supong Ninsuvannakul, an Associate from HSBC's Structured Derivatives Marketing team for the Asia-Pacific, currently based in Hong Kong. He has had six years of experience in the Structured Investments field.

It covered topics like building blocks for yield enhancements, classes of assets and risk management as well as structured products linked to foreign exchange, commodities, structured rates and equities, and hedge funds.

In his opening speech, Tareq Muhmood also said, "We have a track record of arranging for training seminars in Brunei, where we bring in experts from around the region to suggest best practices for the Brunei market.

"HSBC has put it together because structured investments are playing an increasingly important role in the financial services industry. They are relatively complex and have very varied entities, with which most of us are unfamiliar.

"As you know, HSBC is committed to meeting and wherever possible anticipating its customers' needs. Whether for today, or the near future, we are confident that this training will support the development of Brunei's financial services industry."-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
