Course: Physical Withholding

About the online training programme

Physical withholding concerns a manipulative scheme, which is not so much applied in equity or bond markets, but, instead, in the commodity commodities. Professionals with market access need to know about the ins and out so that one can prevent this kind of abusive behaviour. Professionals with a market monitoring or surveillance function have to be able to detect abusive behaviours.

Entrima’s Intervision Groups provide us a good opportunity to dive into a range of topics, which are highly relevant to us.
