Derivatives Academy was built on one belief: understanding derivatives should not be reserved for a few. Our mission is to make this expertise concrete and applicable — for students, professionals and institutions.
Maxime de Bellefroid is the founder of Derivatives Academy. With a background in capital markets, equity derivatives and structured products, he built DA around a simple belief: making this expertise concrete and accessible to everyone — students, professionals and institutions.
He is a regular speaker and trainer in the industry. He moderated a panel at SRP France in Paris and has lectured at universities including SKEMA Business School and Albert School.
His approach is rooted in desk practice — no abstract theory, but concepts that can be applied directly in the market.
Derivatives Academy is a professional learning platform dedicated to Derivatives & Structured Products. Develop the technical knowledge and market intuition used on Sales & Trading desks — through practical tools and real market applications.
"Teams are the foundation of every high-performing trading floor. We do not just train candidates — we build the culture of excellence that makes performance last."
