Aus dem Klappentext

As today's complex investing landscape continues to evolve, investors need guidance from well-trained, certified advisors now more than ever. The Certified Investment Management Analyst^® (CIMA^®) certification program is the only certification designed specifically for financial professionals seeking advanced skills and knowledge required to serve retail and institutional clients' sophisticated investment needs.

The CIMA certification is also the only internationally accredited financial services certification in the United States. In April 2011, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) awarded international accreditation to CIMA certification, setting it apart from the hundreds of designations in the opaque financial services credentialing marketplace. Simply put, CIMA certification is regarded as the standard for investment advice.

International accreditation is one of many reasons CIMA certification directly contributes to advisors' success. CIMA professionals report being more satisfied with their careers, earning better compensation, and managing more assets for higher-net-worth clients than other advisors, according to research conducted by the Aite Group.

Whether you're beginning the CIMA certification process or seeking to further your investment advisory expertise, The Investment Advisor Body of Knowledge is an invaluable resource to help you advance your career and become a better investment advisor.
