Hello,
Does any1 know about this exam, Investment Management Certificate. it is conducted by CFA. Is it very much recognised. Candid advice pls, cos am plannig on taking it. :

still waiting

i had this same question posted on naira land, got no reply. duess we'll have to research on our own,

what u r talkin about is CFA chartered financial analyst, i guess,

for more info just go to cfainstitute.org, or just google CFA

im writing dec 09

To be honest,the only recoginized certification of such nature i know that exists in Nigeria and is recoginized is Nigerian Stock Exchange or Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers.

You can check their website out for more information

Or visit ours as well for more useful information on HR in Nigeria in General.

yeah i know there is the cfa but this is the imc, its different you can google it

the IMC is an exam carried out the by the CFA institute of the UK. It is essentially for investment professionals in the UK and has two parts: regulations and investment mgmt. If you've got the CFA level 1 exam passed you are exempted from the inv. mgmt part and can do nly regulations. So, essentially it's a lil llower than CFA bt u get it all in one set of exams and its cheaper. check for more info on www.cfauk.org

yeah i agree with you. my query is that is it recognised in Naija?
there is also the Certificate in Investment Management by the Securities and investment institute, uk
which i am told is almost equivalent, it even has two parts like the IMC and i compared the sylabus of the two, almost identical. has anyone heard of it or is it just me if yes which is a better deal?
would really really appreciate a response

your best bet will be to actually call one of the stockbroking firms, speak to their HR or manager
its very obvious they accept almost anything for entry level like most banks as long as you can pass their 'tests'
for middle level you will have to call the top firms to enquiry or ask your stockbroker

i went through the imc website and they have a UK law syllabus or something like that

Guys,
I know IMC and I have done and passed it. For you to be able to give investment advice in the UK, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE BY uksip (Now CFA UK) is the minimum qualification u must have.
Any questions, will be here to answer.
