Public Markets

Program Description

The public markets are the territory where most of the world's investable wealth lives. Equities, bonds, currencies and listed instruments form the core of virtually every wealth portfolio. Understanding how these markets work — how prices are formed, how liquidity flows, how risk is transmitted — is not optional for those who manage wealth: it is the starting point.

Public Markets is a 58-hour programme in Virtual Live format offering a deep immersion in the public financial markets from the perspective of private wealth management. This is not theory in isolation. It is about understanding markets as the real environment in which wealth is built, protected and transferred.

The programme is part of the 2025-2026 extended catalogue of the Private Wealth Management Institute and forms the natural foundation for the specialised programmes on the calendar: FX Markets, Fixed Income Markets and Global Equity Markets. Those who master the public markets master the common language of the wealth industry.
