This course will explore an important way in which large companies raise vast amounts of money through borrowing from different banks (i.e. a syndicate) as part of the same transaction. As global markets recover from the pandemic there is likely to be an uptick in these types of financing transactions.

Join us for an six-hour course, held over three days.
