KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Two associations for investment practitioners who are committed to competent and ethical practice of investment management analysis and fund allocation have formed a multi-year strategic alliance to raise the bar of professionalism, and promote standards of quality for investment professionals worldwide.
According to a statement, the strategic alliance aims to support and advance each organisation’s respective objectives.
“This partnership will unlock opportunities for members of the Association of Professional Fund Investors and bring substantial benefits to both organisations,” said Chief Executive Officer of the Investments & Wealth Institute, Sean Walters.
“Members and practitioners around the world can benefit from rich content sharing, moderated discussions, and a networked community of the world’s best and brightest global investment professionals, hosted on our new community platform, and facilitated by APFI members, who work on nearly every continent around the globe.”
The Association of Professional Fund Investors (APFI) will work collaboratively with the Institute to promote global awareness and adoption of the CIMA certification as the most relevant global standard for manager research and fund investing, thereby enhancing the competency and professionalism of services delivered to investors.
In addition, Investments & Wealth Institute® has entered into a service agreement with APFI to support their aims, empowering professional fund investors to learn, share ideas, network with their peers, and have a collective voice to national and global standards bodies and regulatory authorities.
The APFI has turned to the Investments & Wealth Institute as a technical partner to enable its global membership access to the modern tools of networking and collaboration for an increasingly digital age.
Working with the Institute to globalise the reach of the APFI’s most highly recommended accreditation (the CIMA), also furthers the APFI’s goals of promoting the industry’s highest levels of professional standards and integrity in fund investing.
Founded in 1985, the Investments & Wealth Institute is the premier professional association, education provider, and standards body for financial advisers
