Market finance is the segment of finance conducted through financial markets. These marketplaces can include stock exchanges like regulated markets, over-the-counter (OTC) markets, as well as markets for various financial assets such as currencies, interest rates, and commodities.

Despite the complexity of the subject, many professions not specialized in market finance still need to grasp its fundamentals to better advise their clients: lawyers, accountants, notaries, insurance brokers, bailiffs, and more. This introductory course, taught by finance professionals familiar with the legal and operational challenges specific to your professions, serves as an ideal gateway to support your activities in this field.
