4 Program Overview As companies seek to diversify their funding sources away from traditional bank loans, the high yield market has become increasingly attractive, exhibiting high growth during 2012 and great potential in the European capital markets over the coming years. The credit crunch and low interest rates have put the spotlight on the high-yield bond product, which provides non-investment grade issuers access to funding that may be unobtainable through bank credit. As an alternative funding option, all CFOs need to familiarize themselves with the high-yield bond product. As an asset class, low interest rates have attracted investors seeking higher returns to the high-yield bond market. This program is designed for professionals requiring a deeper understanding of the high yield bond instrument and market. It will give participants the knowledge and skills to make sound and informed decisions regarding high yield bonds, as potential issuers, investors, advisors, consultants, bankers, lawyers, or other roles. Participants will learn first-hand from the experts. Leading investment firms, legal firms, rating agencies, an investment bank, and high yield bond issuers, will join IE professors to bring their know-how and experience to the classroom. Who is this program for? This program is for all professionals that need to acquire a deeper knowledge of high yield bonds, because they are exploring alternative funding options for their corporations, seek higher yields in a well-balanced portfolio, or participate (or plan to participate) in high yield operations as legal counsel, advisors, consultants, or corporate bankers.
