BBA and CFA Institute announce new initiative
The CFA Institute and BBA Enterprises have launched a new collaborative initiative which sees the Claritas Investment Certificate included on the BBA Enterprises professional qualifications list of approved partners.
The agreement signals the continued commitment of the CFA Institute and BBAE to address key challenges facing the industry on trust and ethics, through raising the levels of investment knowledge and professional standards across the sector.
Nitin Mehta, managing director of the CFA Institute for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: “We have just celebrated the first anniversary of the global launch of the Claritas Investment Certificate, and partnering with BBA Enterprises is a fantastic way to mark the milestone in the UK. The purpose of Claritas is to bring clarity about the investment industry to those working in financial services from across different non-investment disciplines and geographies, creating a common language and culture that raises both standards and confidence. The BBA is a natural partner for us, and we are delighted to be able to offer the benefits of the Claritas programme to their members and their employees.”
Keith Phillips, executive director at BBAE, added: “The Claritas Investment Certificate is a result of a global call to action for the finance industry to play a more active role in promoting knowledge and trust within the financial services community. This strategy mirrors our own, and with the advent of this partnership we anticipate that our members will benefit from a high standard for globally recognised professional qualifications and educational excellence.”
