Professional certification in financial services
Summary
Following is a partial list of professional certifications in financial services, with an overview of the educational and continuing requirements for each;
see and for all articles.
As the field of finance has increased in complexity in recent years, the number of available designations has grown, and, correspondingly, some will have more recognition than others.
Note that in the US, many state securities and insurance regulators do not allow financial professionals to use a designation — in particular a "senior" designation — unless it has been accredited by either the American National Standards Institute or the National Commission for Certifying Agencies.
Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement
The Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM) is a professional accreditation in the field of investment performance analysis. It includes investment performance measurement and attribution. It is offered by the CIPM Association, a body associated with the CFA Institute.
Certified International Investment Analyst
Certified International Investment Analyst (CIIA) is an internationally recognised advanced professional qualification for individuals working in the finance and investment industry.
The CIIA maintains standards both at the national and international levels: ACIIA tests candidates at the local level (at their home country), and, having cleared those country specific exams, at the common international level. The topics are largely similar to the CFA; see below.
Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst
The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) designation is a financial certification for investment professionals conferred by the CAIA Association.
The curriculum is designed to provide finance professionals with a broad base of knowledge in alternative investments.
Candidates must complete two examinations in succession and pay an ongoing certification fee to retain rights to use the financial designation.
