Securities & Investment Institute becomes a chartered body
The SII has announcd that from 1st November 2009 it changed its name to the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI). The gaining of Chartered status is the most significant change for members since the formation of the Securities Institute in 1992. The broadening scope of the Institute’s work led to a change of name in 2004 to the Securities & Investment Institute. In the past few years, the growth and development of the Institute has seen staff representatives appointed in Scotland and Ireland and the opening of offices in four major financial centres globally: Mumbai, Dubai, Shanghai and Singapore.
Ruth Martin, Managing Director of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment said: “The foundations that have enabled us to apply to become Chartered were laid by the solid work that many members have undertaken in building our high quality exams, learning materials, CPD seminars and conferences. These have contributed to enabling us to demonstrate a track record in all strands of professionalism, which is vital to our ultimate success.”
