Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) November 17, 2016 -- Investment Management Consultants Association® (IMCA®) announced today that Kaplan Financial Education will offer a Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®) online preparation and review program for investment and wealth management professionals starting in January 2017.

To mark the new initiative, IMCA and Kaplan are hosting a sold-out CIMA Qualification Exam Workshop on Monday, December 5 (9 a.m.-4 p.m. MST) in conjunction with the IMCA 2016 Winter Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.

“Kaplan’s on-demand CIMA preparation course provides individuals and enterprises a new option in helping financial professionals around the world meet their investment education needs,” said Sean Walters, CAE, CEO, Investment Management Consultants Assn.

“CIMA certification is one of the most valued certifications in the investment consulting and wealth management professions because it distinguishes those who meet a global standard of competency and skills in investment management from those who do not,” said Sean R. Walters, CAE, chief executive officer, IMCA. “Kaplan’s on-demand CIMA preparation course provides individuals and enterprises a new option in helping financial professionals around the world meet their investment education needs.”

The rigorous CIMA certification process, which was recently reaccredited by the American National Standards Institute, requires candidates complete “the Four E’s” – experience, education, examination, and ethics. In addition to the examination requirement, CIMA candidates must pass two examinations and participate in a registered executive education program currently offered by The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, MIT Sloan School of Management, Paul Woolley Centre at the University of Technology, Sydney, and Yale School of Management.

“Our online, on-demand curriculum will provide prospective candidates with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to effectively set investment objectives, evaluate and select managers, and manage an investment portfolio for individual or institutional clients,” added Joyce Schnur, vice president, Kaplan Financial Services.

According to Schnur, the upcoming workshop, taught by Kaplan instructor R. Travis Upton, will be a good introduction for prospective candidates, touching on a number of key areas, including: governance, financial math, portfolio performance and risk, traditional and alternative investments, portfolio theory, and behavioral finance.

Candidates who complete all steps in the certification process must then adhere to IMCA’s Code of Professional Responsibility, as well as maintain all recertification requirements in order to use the CIMA marks.
