Mountain Climbing in Dubai

The large group of attendees at the recent London Metal Exchange courses in Dubai, delivered in partnership with Euromoney Learning Solutions, did not realise they had signed up to a mountaineering expedition.

The first day was a brisk march through the foothills discussing the general functions of the LME.  On the second day, while exploring the futures contracts, several noted the steeper incline, but the pacing of the course ensured everybody made it comfortably to the top of the first peak – Futures Mountain.  Most were out of breath on the final day, but everybody made it to the summit of the highest peak – Options Mountain – and could enjoy the view from the summit.  

One or two even managed to scale the more challenging aspects of delta hedging and volatility surfaces.  During rest breaks, several real life situations were discussed and brought into the course as worked case studies.  By the end, we were all tired but the sense of achievement was palpable.
