The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) is the leading professional body for securities, investment, wealth and financial planning professionals. Formed in 1992 by London Stock Exchange practitioners, they have a global community of circa 45,000 members in 111 countries and last year more than 40,000 CISI exams were sat in 81 countries, 15,000 taken outside the UK.
The CISI believes professionalism is the blend of three elements:
• Knowledge - gaining the initial competence to do your job through professional qualifications, developed by practitioners for practitioners
• Skills - continuing Professional Development (CPD) and ongoing learning which enables you to maintain competence through a professional body membership
• Behaviour - upholding the highest standards of integrity by signing up to a professional body's code of conduct.
The CISI believes a professional is someone who has a combination of knowledge and skills, and acts with integrity. Its purpose, as a professional body, is to provide and encourage the attributes necessary to be a professional.
