Based in the heart of France’s vibrant capital city, this course provides an essential insight into investment screening mechanisms in France, Spain, and Italy, with an additional focus on investment screening in financial markets related investments.

In this course, participants will:

  • Engage with experienced professionals from various sectors to gain a comprehensive understanding of investment screening.
  • Benefit from unique networking opportunities with fellow professionals, foster valuable connections and strengthen their referral network.
  • Participate in interactive sessions analysing and discussing relevant case scenarios and important regulatory aspects from France, Spain, and Italy.
  • Learn more about investment screening in the financial markets.
