An understanding of inflation is central to successful trading and investing. Even experienced professionals can fall fowl of the concept of ‘money illusion’ – the tendency for people to think in nominal rather than real terms. This course starts off by exploring the fundamental concepts of inflation before considering the features of inflation-linked securities. Other concepts that are considered include seasonality, inflation-linked swaps and options. Although the course has an institutional investor focus it can be structured to include how corporates have used inflation-linked structures to manage their inflation risk.
