CMMB delivers on bond workshop

After the success of their Bond Market workshop in April of this year, CMMB conducted a second workshop of its kind on the 3rd and 4th of July at the Trinidad Hilton. Over thirty participants comprising of attendees from the financial and investment sectors of Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad were able to benefit from this in-depth practical training programme.

CMMB’s presentations covered fundamental Bond concepts, yield curve analysis, the valuation of Bonds and Bond Portfolios, the role of Credit Rating Agencies in the bond market, duration and convexity, and Bond portfolio management. The presenters included a panel of experienced and knowledgeable industry professionals such as recently retired lecturer from the Department of Management studies at the University of the West Indies St Augustine campus, J Martin Dalgleish, along with CMMB team members Ram Ramesh, Wayne Dass, Taan Maraj, and Dave Dookie. The success of this workshop has encouraged CMMB to plan similar seminars and educational programmes to be held in the near future, for not only the benefit of industry peers but the interested public as well.
