Inventory finance is the backbone of the “real economy”. Each day banks and traders enter into transactions over millions of tons of commodities that are stored around the globe in warehouses, silos, tanks, yards or other storage facilities, be it oil & gas, soft commodities, metal or other commodities.
The sums invested in inventory finance are substantial. If a transaction is badly planned or executed, the losses are huge. On all levels, specialist knowledge is necessary be it financial, operational or legal.
At this one-day training course in collaboration with SUISSENÉGOCE, a group of proven experts share their know-how and the Golden Rules that any banker, trader or inspector should follow. If observed, the Golden Rules will allow you to steer clear from the major risks.
This day of intensive learning will start off with presentations by each expert on his field of competence.
