John Rogers, CFA: “Building a More Informed Industry – It Starts with You”
Monday, July 15, 2013
12:00pm – 2:00pm Intercontinental Hotel, Century City
Building, maintaining and restoring trust in the investment profession is a key part of our mission at CFA Institute. This is a tall order but we, along with many others in our business, believe that better, broader industry education is at the core of the solution. Creating educated, ethical investment professionals is an idea that must be embraced throughout the industry – not just by those who pursue higher level certifications. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that all working in our profession have a clear understanding of the investment business and their responsibilities within it.
Together with CFA Society Los Angeles, I invite you to join me for an update on current CFA Institute efforts that are focused on the creation of a more sustainable and educated investment industry. The luncheon forum will be held on Monday, July 15th from 12:00 to 2:00pm at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City and will highlight some of our key challenges, and discuss why, among other initiatives, we believe that the Claritas™ Investment Certificate – the new education program specifically designed to give everyone working in the finance and investment business a clear understanding of the industry essentials, connects to the building of a stronger, more informed industry.
The Claritas Investment Certificate is a comprehensive global education program designed to give a clear understanding of the essentials of the industry. It will benefit employees, organizations and the industry as a whole. For every investment decision maker there are up to ten other professionals working alongside them. We want to help to build their knowledge in line with our mission to shape an investment industry for the ultimate benefit of society. To this end, CFA Institute has designed the Claritas Investment Certificate.
Join us on July 15th to learn more about the global launch of Claritas and key initiatives that are being promoted by CFA Institute and CFA Society Los Angeles. We encourage you to pass this event announcement along to those who are responsible for training and development within your company (HR, Operations) and any individual who may benefit from the Claritas Investment Certificate.
