Understanding the interest rate structuring and credit structuring and credit trading desks; Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited.

Abstract

The 8 weeks internship was divided into two rotations, each at a different function of the bank. My first rotation was in the Interest Rate Structuring Desk where I was mentored by John Goff and my second rotation was in the Credit Trading Desk with Sandeep Aggarwal as my mentor. The aim of the internship was to gain an insight into the working of the various functions in the bank in general and these desks in particular. This was facilitated through relevant trainings, lunch-and-Iearn sessions by domain experts, interacting with the people on the floor and most importantly through projects in the desk that covered the wide range of activities that were integral to the group's operations.
