Professor Andrew Clare, Associate Dean, Executive Education at Cass Business School

Quantitative Methods for Finance Programme

The Quantitative Methods for Finance (QMfF) programme is designed to develop the fundamental desk-ready skills essential for quantitative roles in finance, including:

• Trading
• Structuring
• Valuation
• Risk management
• Regulation
• Financial engineering

Participants will learn the mathematical techniques, Excel tools, VBA programming skills and numerical methods to become proficient in quantitative finance.

QMfF certificate holders will also be presented with an enrolment offer to the Chartered Financial Risk Engineer™ (CFRE™) programme.

The CFRE™ is a professional designation in financial risk management given by NYIF to those who complete an intensive 10-month programme and examination.

Today, employers find themselves seeking applicants for new types of roles with hybrid requirements mixing finance and technology.

Lee Arthur, Managing Director, NYIF

Fixed Income Programme

The Fixed Income (FI) programme aims to produce skilled individuals in the key areas of fixed income including pricing and valuation of newly, fixed income instruments and markets, and yield curve analysis.

Participants will develop practical, technical and analytical skills to determine fair values, the term structure of interest rates, and yields and risk measures for a wide variety of instruments including:

• Government bonds
• Corporate bonds
• Mortgage securities
• Fixed income derivatives.

FI certificate holders will earn credit towards the CFRE™ designation.

Lee Arthur, Managing Director of NYIF explained the rationale behind the partnership:

“FinTech is having real, structural changes in the way capital markets operate. Today, employers find themselves seeking applicants for new types of roles with hybrid requirements mixing finance and technology. Those candidates aren't often easy to find.

"With Cass, we aim to enable employers and professionals to develop newly merged skill-sets quickly, through our London-based, intense, certificate programmes.”
