About this Fixed Income

Markets Certification
Program

While other Fixed Income courses add formulas and

complexity to hide the lack of real-world experience, Wall
Street Prep's Fixed Income Markets Certification was
created by former sales and trading professionals focused
on what interns, new hires and early career analysts need
to know on the job.

Designed following extensive discussion with hiring

managers at major investment banks, we built our Fixed
Income program around practical requirements like
Bloomberg, with Excel exercises to demystify how
Bloomberg calculates Yield and Duration on a bond.

9+ Hours of Video Instruction

Acquire expertise taught from an insider's perspective.

Master how to use the Bloomberg terminal to analyze
bonds, yields and cashflows.

A Comprehensive Program

Designed with input from the largest global investment

banks on what Fixed Income salespeople and traders need
to know.

Meaningful, Shareable Certification

Graduates will receive a blockchain-verified, shareable

certification that can easily be added to LinkedIn and
resumes.

Your Path to Certification

This fixed income markets certification course is career-
focused. We begin with an overview of the Fixed Income
Market, sell-side investment banks and buy-side investors;
move on to exploring how central banks impact bond
yields; and discuss the yield curve. We demystify different
fixed income products and build a basis for bond math.
Using money markets, we learn about single cashflow
investments and government bonds. Finally, we look at
corporate bonds, discuss credit analysis, and take a look at
the impact of seniority and collateral.
