FX Markets

The world's largest market, in the service of wealth.

Virtual Live8hFeb 2026

Program Description

The foreign exchange market is the largest and most liquid on the planet. It operates continuously and touches, directly or indirectly, every international investment decision. For wealth with exposure beyond its base currency, the exchange rate is not a technical detail: it is a risk factor and a source of opportunity that demands professional understanding.

FX Markets is an 8-hour executive programme in Virtual Live format, designed to understand how the currency market works from the standpoint of wealth management. A single subject, treated in depth and without dispersion.

The programme forms part of the 2026 calendar of the Private Wealth Management Institute and is a natural complement to Fixed Income Markets and Global Equity Markets, delivered within the same cycle.
