Post-financial crisis, financial services firms are exposed to significant conduct risk and it has become increasingly important that individuals in a client facing role understand the complex nature of products they manage and/or advise on. Additionally, managers/advisors must have complete knowledge of the fundamental principles underpinning investment products to mitigate clients’ risks. The Professional Certificate in Asset Management has been designed in response to Banking and Insurance industry needs to upskill managers/advisors, above and beyond the Minimum Competency Code requirements in the area of investment advice.
This programme has been designed for those satisfying the Minimum Competency Code (MCC) of the Financial Regulator who wish to progress their knowledge and skills in the specific area of investment and asset management to that of Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), the world’s most widely respected financial planning designation. The programme integrates both theoretical and practical aspects of investment and asset management. It will provide a detailed examination of the theoretical and practical elements of investment assets, investment markets and market participants. It also provides the first stepping-stone to those considering taking the Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning and the full CFP® designation.
Lectures will be offered on a part-time basis in the following locations (subject to demand):

One academic trimester (12 lecture weeks)
When you successfully complete this module, you will be awarded the Professional Certificate in Asset Management (level 9) from UCD.
